FDX Agency Shop
Right now the agency shop clause that is agreed to gives a pass to the approximately 140 nonmembers as of the amenable date of the contract. Also they would not have to pay in the future. This was agreed to by our team based on management's reluctance to give us a clause including everybody for fear that they would be sued by one of the nonmembers. Our sides thinking was it was better to get an agency shop clause now for nothing than to try and get it later and have to give something up for it considering many of the nonmembers would be gone before the new contract runs out. Not pretty, but sometimes you just need the bag over the head.
