[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3555699, member: 60252"] You would lose your contract immediately and fedex would temporarily hire all your drivers and pay them more than you do, and then sue you for the cost of servicing your route. And they would either win in court, or delay it so long that you would be living on the street if you counted on winning your strike. You would never get at least half the contractors to go on strike in the first place. Too many are living paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to miss a payment on their 5 trucks. Then there are the contractors who really think they are independent, and don't believe in unions or hate them. Plus even more who may sympathize with unionizers, but are too afraid of losing. A strike was more likely, and actually happened when almost all contractors were single route operators and drove their own routes. At least the NLRB semi-recognized them as employees. [/QUOTE]
