[QUOTE="LED, post: 551076, member: 22664"] IMHO ...The general public has no idea what is going on, nor do they care. This battle will be won or lost in Washington DC. The following excerpt is from an article written in 2007. I think the chances are good that it will pass through a Democratic controlled Senate. Mr. Oberstar has already kept good on his promise. [I]The delivery giants and organized labor have battled over the issue before. FedEx Express briefly lost its airline status in the mid-1990s, but a Republican-controlled Congress reinstated it after a bitter fight with some pro-labor Democrats, including Oberstar. Oberstar said he "vowed at the time" to change the law if Democrats ever took control of Congress. He said he was "offended by FedEx's powerhouse lobbying in 1996 protecting themselves against any future organizing activities."
