[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1199831, member: 42270"] What's mind boggling is that you didn't understand I was referring to the Ground hubs, not the drivers. The drivers are 1099'd Independent Contractors, the employees in the FedEx Ground hubs are not. The FedEx Ground network is expanding and FedEx is sinking tons of revenue into expanding existing facilities as more and more volume shifts over to ground. The hub workers at FedEx Ground hubs perform similar jobs as those that work in UPS facilities and they are covered under the NLRA rather than the RLA. We can't go after the drivers until the independent contractor model is finally ruled illegal by the courts or individual state legislatures. However, we can go after the ground hub workers [B]right now[/B] and did so in Brockton, MA back in ~2011 but pulled out before the election. [/QUOTE]
