Apparently the NLRB decided not to make a decision in the matter, but instead to continue to recognize the designation that the  National Mediation Board (NMB)  made in the mid 70s. And that designation was that Federal Express was not covered under the NLRA. Most of the ruling had to do with the jurisdictional issues involved. Seems like they really went out of their way to sidestep the issue at hand. The pertinent wording can be found on page 1158, upper right, first paragraph. It did leave the door open for this issue to be revisited if Fedex went more to a ground model. (Ahem) As far as I can tell, there was and is no official governmental ruling, but only a recognition of precedent. The NLRB ruling was, they would make no ruling. Hope that helps.</p></blockquote><p></p>
