They did and they proved all the FedEx contractors are nothing more than employees.

So we're going strike over expensive truck a/c? Don't think so. I'm not even sure how long these newbies can go without a paycheck?

If you think the Teamsters are going to cut loose all that money you’re crazy. 1 week that’s it, which will also have dues and administrative fees taken out. They couldn’t even pay us the $55 a week back in 97.
