I'm sure you all are aware of the Teamsters organizing of Fedex Freight. If not it is happening now. So please take the time if you have a chance to talk to a driver about the benefits of the UNION.
Fed Ex freight around here I believe is subcontracted out just like UPS Freight is to Overnite.
Overnite no longer exists. UPS bought them and they are now UPS employees who also belong to the union.Fed Ex freight around here I believe is subcontracted out just like UPS Freight is to Overnite.
I'd love to see all the non union guys off the road, but I do believe the biggest threats are the immigrant truck drivers doing LTL work especially local deliveries.
I'm all for independent business owners and entrepreneurship but these drivers are working for mostly unclaimed income like cash therefore not contributing federal and local income tax as well as social security and medicare.
Glad to hear the Teamsters are close to organizing at least one of Fred's venture. I hear they've had success with conway freight too.

It is UPS Freight and they are unionized.

Have you seen our health and pension plans?Do we sell Fedex Freight on the popular Teamcare or the failed Teamster Pension plans?
Did you ever compare our popular health and failed pension to what a Fedex driver gets? I'm sure our yearly raises, paid vacations, sonority list, able to grieve a dispute would differ from theirs.Do we sell Fedex Freight on the popular Teamcare or the failed Teamster Pension plans?
Even if that were all true it would still be better than what FedEx .offersI read on these boards that Teamcare sucks, Hoffa and Hall are sellouts, we have a garbage Solidcontract, pensions are failed ponzi schemes etc.
