[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 395741, member: 12508"] Good luck with the organizing. The FedExaminer.com site is an excellent source for union info and they also have a dedicated FedEx Freight section. It's run by the Teamsters, but they don't edit the site excessively. You can say whatever you want to and get feedback from other Freight people as well. I'm on the West Coast, so most of the FedEx Freight drivers I talk with out here are ex-Viking, and they're really getting tired of the BS. FedEx is basically trying to apply the FedEx Express management model to all of it's operating divisions. The one thing that has prevented us organizing at Express is our classification under the RLA....as far as I know, Freight is under the NLRA, so it would be much easier for you to go Teamster. I'm no huge union fan, but it's the only way to keep management from totally taking advantage of the situation. Requiring the dock people to get their CDLA's or else sounds like a typical FedEx tactic. They might be doing it because they're short of Class A drivers, or as you suggested, it would be an easy way for them to slash hours. [/QUOTE]
