[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 505623, member: 16651"] drewed; However, the contractor system isn't an issue with the legislation FDX is presently concerned with; the Ground system is already under the NLRB and - as far as I can tell - FDX is well on its way there to converting the single-contractor model into a multi-employee contractor one....which probably pretty much accomplishes everything they want. What would be affected with the proposed legislation would be the Express system, which is under the Railway Act and not the NLRA. What scares me is that, instead of just protesting organization via threatening not to buy domestic aircraft, FDX might attempt converting their Express system to the multi-contractor model as well...it COULD happen. And note that the Teamsters have yet (as evidenced by Airborne/DHL) to find a way to successfully organize multi-employee contractors; it seems that just as soon as one is organized, it's contract is lost, and another takes its place. Potentially a tough nut to crack. [/QUOTE]
