[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 505288, member: 927"] I encourage all UPSers and Teamsters read up on this and understand what FedEx is saying. They are under different labor laws than UPS because they started as an express company. Legislation will put FedEx and UPS under the same labor laws and make it easier for them to be unionized. This is a big win for the Teamsters and levels the playing field for UPS. FedEx is now threatening to NOT buy Boeing planes if the law is passed. This pits Boeing and GE against UPS, and also pits the Teamsters against the Machinist union. All because FedEx is threatening to buy Airbus planes if the legislation is passed.
