[QUOTE="oldrps, post: 3555992, member: 36765"] The contractors/ISP's are incorporated entities, they can't join the union, but their drivers can. If the drivers of a contractor would strike against the contractor, then FedEx would terminate the contractor for not servicing their area. If the workers of a contractor demand more money and the contractor can't afford it, the contractor goes out of business. I don't see FedEx giving a contractor more money to pay for a unionized workforce. The union would have no bearing on FedEx, only the contractor, the driver's employer. It is a no win for the workers of contractors to unionize, they would be unemployed in a short amount of time. I doubt FedEx would hire the contractor drivers either, when it was RPS, we were not to hire or contract with an individual who had worked in a union company. I don't see the Teamsters trying to organize these contractors for these reasons, no long term benefit for them. Might be good PR to unionize a few locations, but it would not last. [/QUOTE]
