[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 702534, member: 18471"] I'm sure the Teamsters are lobbying behind the scene to get the Railway Act changed, just like Fedex is lobbying for it to stay the way it is. Under the current rules, Fedex would have to vote to unionize the entire company all at once. For the teamsters to spend the resources for that is probably prohibitive. If the Railway Act is changed then the teamsters could work on one "depot" at a time, picking the ones that would more likely vote for the union first and chip away at unionizing Fedex. Probably saving the "right to work" states for last. As far as Fedex Ground the contractors are another issue altogether, although why the Teamsters don't try to organize the inside workers I don't know. The contractor? or employee? question will probably be decided in the courts, there are a few states that have raised the issue. [/QUOTE]
