[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1196862, member: 11246"] Yes, I am not up to speed with all the laws and fedex's business structure. I was under the impression that the contracting model has nothing to do with the air/rail act. I just thought that was a business structure that allows fedex (ground) to call them contractors vs employees. The air division (express) is treated as an airline which is governed by the Railway Labor Act. This means they are an airline, not a a trucking company and this makes it harder for air drivers to unionize. The rail act was in acted to keep unions from paralyzing the air transportation industry. Thats the way I understood it, but could be completely wrong. [/QUOTE]
