[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1545461, member: 24302"] We already covered this extensively when it happened. The Democrats were in charge of both the House and Senate and the Presidency. The issue was an attachment to the FAA funding bill, the Express Employees Relief Act, which would allow FedEx Express employees to be placed under the National Labor Relations Act instead of the Railroad Labor Act. FedEx lobbyists contributed much more than $6 million, heard as much as $32 million, to congressional campaign coffers, mostly Democrats, to not vote on the bill but keep tabling it for a future vote. The Republicans captured the House in 2010, ending any chance that it would pass. To pour salt on the wound not only was the Express Employees Relief Act removed from the FAA bill, but the Democrats agreed to increase the % of employees in a craft needed to sign union cards to force a union vote from 35% to 50%. Sorry but everyone knows the Republicans are anti-union, it was the Democrats who let us down when they had the power. [/QUOTE]
