[QUOTE="athena, post: 215835, member: 9953"] I agree with Rocky. This is just one more hit for FedEx. They are currently being sued by drivers who claim they are employees not independent contractors, the union certification from NLRB, and one driver has even won unemployment benefits in a court case where the judge agreed that the driver had been inappropriately labeled as an "independent contractor". Additionally, there is legislation that is being considered that would make it easier to organize a union and negotiate a first contract. For years, FedEx has been benefitting from the near impossibility of a strike by the drivers (due to the airline legislation they have been operating under). This is a major negotiating tool used by unions. If this legislation passes then FedEx will be making some major changes to their business model. Finally, I find it hard to believe that the FedEx drivers will not unionize. They have already started the process and I doubt their would be so many lawsuits if the employees were so happy. FedEx better learn to play nice and quick. [/QUOTE]
