[QUOTE="quadro, post: 583901, member: 12850"] I beg to differ but the law says they [B]can[/B] become union. Whether or not it is practical is another issue but as I said, FedEx employees have a legal right to unionize even under the RLA. A union has to show what, a 35% interest under RLA and then 50%+1 of the employees in a craft or class have to vote yes. As no-one got a raise this year, why hasn't a union taken advantage of the larger markets and gotten that 35% interest? Either that interest isn't there even without the pay raise or they don't feel that they can then get the 50%+1. Either way, that says the majority of employees are not interested in a union. Or at least that's what the unions believe. The number of employees is somewhat irrelevant. Airlines with smaller workforces still had to have that same 35% interest and 50%+1 vote. Obviously in those cases, enough employees felt it was the right thing for them. [/QUOTE]
