[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2726086, member: 24302"] The RLA was enacted to prevent wildcat strikes by various unions that would disrupt railroad service. We're put under it because allowing a station by station unionization could disrupt service with similar strikes. So a union for us has to be similar to the railroad's union, national and all or nothing for strikes. And very difficult to form a union. It's a stretch to classify us this way but once under it it takes political will to declassify us. And that will comes from demonstrated abuse. Guess what? New pay plan says to gov't concerns are being addressed. Folks here think it's all smoke and mirrors but pay plan is real. And Express will go on for foreseeable future and Ground will grow by taking business from UPS. If FedEx plays games with pay like it did in the past, which nearly lost it's RLA status, it could jeopardize it again. [/QUOTE]
