[QUOTE="workinstiff, post: 59314"] One of you guys mentioned in an earlier post about Fedex being under the RLA. That is true for express division only, where a vote to go union would have to be a nationwide "sweep." As for Ground and Freight, it is under the control of the NLRB, so if we were to organize, it could be done on a shop to shop basis, not nationwide. As for past attenmpts at unionizing Ground, I havent heard of any serious attempts. I am a handler for Ground, and while the pay is good, we get no benefits, no vacation pay, no overtime. Unfortunately, in my building, most of the other handlers are not informed about what a union could do for them, thus any decision made by them would be one based on ignorance. As for the express side of the operation, I did hear of an organizing campaign for the Ramp transport drivers, but as to the result, I dont know. Over 9, you are right when you say ground is ripe for organizing, I just wish we could get some support from the labor movement. [/QUOTE]
