AFAIK FedEx is playing a bit loose with the truth here. Apparently the only effect of this legislation will be to make it easier for FedEx to unionize than UPS right now. Currently, they are both under the same railway teamsters act that give the companies tools to fight unionization. UPS wants Congress to pass a law that shoves FedEx out to the NRLA that strips the company of any defenses against unionization. By forcing FedEx to pay higher wages and employ people who refuse to do any work, UPS will thus place FedEx at a competitive disadvantage and probably start growing their market share again.

Yeah, that's still horrible, no question, but I just can't get behind a campaign of lies. Sorry FedEx. If ya'll just told the truth in this mess you'd have me as an ally. As it is now? nope. UPS will probably win, FedEx will get burned pretty badly, and next time maybe they will think about being TRUTHFUL instead of LYING and just maybe the people they need on their side will consider supporting them...
