[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 97726, member: 1246"] Labor board files charges against FedEx Monday July 3, 5:36 pm ET The National Labor Relations Board has charged FedEx Ground/Home Delivery with illegal practices in its treatment of drivers at its Barrington and West Deptford, N.J. terminals, an attorney representing the drivers said Monday. The NLRB issued a complaint accusing the FedEx Corp. subsidiary of engaging in a pattern of illegal activity against drivers primarily as a result of their trying to unionize, according to Jerald R. Cureton. The complaint said FedEx threatened and/or fired drivers involved in the organizing efforts; terminated driver insurance and route operating contracts; discriminated against drivers who testified before the NLRB or filed charges against FedEx with the agency; and promised preferential treatment if drivers voted against the union. Drivers at the Barrington terminal became the first group of FedEx drivers in the country to vote for representation. FedEx is contesting the vote. "FedEx Ground has always conducted itself within the law in responding to the many unsuccessful attempts to organize our work force in the past," said Rob Boulware, company spokesperson. FedEx must officially answer the charges in the complaint by July 14. A hearing on the complaint is scheduled for July 31. [/QUOTE]
