[QUOTE="FedEx courier, post: 705927, member: 23267"] How do you know that it is decided? Do you have anything to back up that it is decided? FedEx is still spinning the propaganda machine over at Brownbailout.com. Seems if it was totally decided then none of that would be necessary. Seems like Oberstar is sticking to his guns to me. This is from an article dated today. "In comments made on the House floor yesterday, House T&I Chairman James Oberstar (D-Minn.) said that H.R. 1586 amends the Railway Labor Act (RLA) to clarify that employees of an "express carrier" shall be covered by the RLA only if they are employed in a position that is eligible for certification under FAA's rules, such as mechanics or pilots, and they are actually performing that type of work for the express carrier. All other express carrier employees, such as truck drivers and baggage handlers, would be governed by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), said Oberstar. "This change would remove the disparity in current law that Federal Express drivers are governed under the RLA, which requires organization for collective bargaining on a nationwide basis, while drivers for the United Parcel Service (UPS) and other express carriers are governed by the NLRA, which permits organization on a local basis," said Oberstar. He added that this provision was debated in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and agreed to by a recorded vote of 51 to 18. [/QUOTE]
