FedEx Threatens The U.S. Congress!
Today FedEx announced that they would halt the purchase of new planes for the Express division if Congress would change the NRLA rules that would move drivers and mechanics out from under the NRA to NRLA rules. This would make it alot easier for those employees to organize their division of the company.
Showing once again, Fred (I'm not anti-union) Smith's true colors. Once again FedEx does not have the employee’s best interest at heart. That FedEx, Wall Street and Corporate America are a bunch of PUNKS! They don't give a damn about the working people of America.
ABC’s World News Tonight reported that with the new cuts announced March 19, 2009. "FedEx hopes to save about $1 billion with the cuts in fiscal 2010, which starts in June." If FedEx does these cuts, they could pay for those planes in 4 years! Or where is all that money really going to? Maybe it will go to CEO’s bonuses?

Ticket Reporting Consequences
Gentlemen;
I am a Lifemember of OOIDA and enjoy reading your articles in "Landline".
Prompted by your invitation to submit questions to you I submit the following:I am a linedriver for Fedex Freight, Inc.
Newly implemented rules require all drivers (city and line) to submit to corporate safety department within 24 hours receipt of a citation.This requirement does not present a problem.
The issue many of us have is that the company will register the original ticket into your file and utilize it to determine your employment status.
We feel that if we manage to negotiate the ticket to a lesser charge or get it dismissed entirely that the company should recognize the final charge and not the original charge.
The question.
Do we have valid legal standing?
If so what would be the procedure to pursue same.
Thank You

The only requirement under Section 383..31 of the FMCSR is to report a conviction to your employer and licensing state within 30 days of that conviction. What your company has set up is a system similar to SAFESTAT, whereby they are looking at violations written and not final convictions/dispositions.
Of course the company has the right to make its own poilicy, however I would look to any grievance procedure in your policy/employment handbook if negative consequences result from this set up. There is a strong argument that you are innocent until proven or plead guilty to a charge. If there is nothing in the handbook, then your fall back would be possibly the Department of Labor, EEOC or Union if so represented.

Food For Thought
I believe that Banking Institutions are more Dangerous than standing Armies... If the American People ever allow private Banks to control the issue of Currency... The Banks and CORPORATIONS that will grow up around them will deprive the People of their Property until their Children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers Conquered". By Thomas Jefferson-1743-1826.
We the Labors of America, especially as FedEx employees must organize now and not become a debt-slavery for the Federal Reserve Bank and Corporate America... Now is the perfect time to unionize.
