Thank You, James Oberstar

He saw what FedEx really was, and had the balls that others in congress did not have when facing down the corporate money machine.
If he had been successful in his push to get the drivers properly classified as working under NLRB rules and not RLA rules, we drivers would have more money in out pockets.
I'm sure Fred losses no sleep knowing he has past.

I don't think Fred will be sending a card or flowers. I had read a magazine article years ago how Smith was fuming when Oberstar had the audacity to make our Dear Beloved Leader wait in the foyer of Oberstar's office. I guess Fred pitched a fit. Oberstar saw Smith for what he really is....a greedy POS.

He represented the district just north of me. I have heard him do call ins on the local public radio station many times. He was a fantastic representative for my state, for labor and for transportation issues.
His dad helped organize miners on the Iron Range and was very proud that his union member # was 1.
He lost the election to Chip Cravaack, not because his district suddenly became conservative, but because he put his campaign on auto pilot and did not spend any time in Mn. Cravaack made a very big deal about that and was able to squeak out a win.
Mr Oberstar will be missed by many.
