[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1134757, member: 42270"] The IBT made a serious attempt at organizing FedEx in either the mid-or-late 1990's. But Fred S was able to get his Railway Labor Act (RLA) exemption slipped through by Congress in the middle of the organizing drive and the Teamsters pulled out. Under the RLA, Federal Express would have to be organized in a nationwide vote which would be nigh-impossible. Conventional organizing tactics would have a union organize each job site/terminal/station/hub, one-by-one, until they have enough leverage to strike and shut the entire company down or simply force the company to the negotiating table to hammer out a contract. Smith's RLA exemption was almost removed back in 2007/08, but he threatened to pull the orders for roughly a dozen Boeing 747's and Congress caved. [/QUOTE]
