[QUOTE="workinstiff, post: 59310"] It should be interesting to see how this whole thing plays out. Many of the contractors in New Jersey banded together and filed a case with the NLRB, and they ruled in their favor, so last week we saw the birth of the New Jersey Ground Contractors Association (formally, it won by a vote 0f 14-8). This was in Barrington, NJ. As expected, Fedex immediately announced that it was going to appeal the decision. I think essentially what this association calls for is open dialogue and to some degree negotiation between drivers and management to how they (the drivers) do their jobs. If you go on a website called Fedexaminer.com, you can actually post in the Ground forum and discuss things with a driver who was involved directly in the Barrington case. Unfortunately, that particular site doesnt have the same sense of community that BrownCafe does, but it is a start. Now, as to what the decision means for all of the inside work, that is the sorters, loaders, etc, I have no idea. I posted on Fedexaminer raising the idea that to make the situation better at ground, there needs to be a sense of unity established between the handlers and the drivers.
