[QUOTE="Wend1g0, post: 4627964, member: 82936"] I have a limited understanding of FedEx's business model. That being said I know they employ a large amount of private contractors making an organized large scale strike near impossible. What cards strike would have is that fed ex is bleeding right now as it is due to its loss of it's amazon contract putting a dent in it's share of the market. Covid and the holiday season combined will create the most busy shipping season this side of the century. In that regard it would be a heavy blow if fed ex workers struck. That said, fed ex employees make up only one piece of the equation. Companies employ people to come up with protocols for any eventuality. I gurrentee you bean counters some where have already put together a marketing campaign for new (insert group of striking workers here) for a slightly higher pay rate or one time hiring bonus. All that the strikers would accomplish is becoming unemployed in a recession- boarder line depression economy. This would result in very little loss for FedEx financially as a company that large can absorb a blow of that size, and maybe it will cause a headache for a while as the story circles the news cycle but other than that any attempt won't even warrent a footnote in FedEx's history [/QUOTE]
