Do you realize under FDX's current status that it would be next to impossible to do with all of the employees all over the world??
What does being based in Memphis have to do with it? Other airlines are organized under the RLA and they have geographically separated members. And "next to impossible"? I submit that it is exponentially easier to organize now in the age of internet and email. Other airline did it in 60s, 70s, and 80s when stuff had to be mailed and gathered. Today it should be easy, but I guess Teamsters doesn't want to put the effort in to do it under the current law.
