[QUOTE="Gabba, post: 4998151, member: 58591"] well unionizing fedex is difficult. see there are 2 separate sets of labor laws in america, the NLRA and the railway labor act. there's alot of little differences but the gist is that the NLRA is friendly to labor and the RLA is friendly to management. for instance unions in the RLA aren't locals, it's just one big national union. and striking is illegal without the permission of the feds. fedex plays by the RLA. UPS plays by the NLRA. that's the major reason why fedex isn't unionized. it also represents a potential threat, in that if UPS were to buy fedex, the most valuable thing they'd be buying is the option to call themselves fedex and thus get rid of the union and the NLRB.
