The Teamsters Union has been quietly meeting with interested employees of FedEx for a few years now and is educating them on employee rights and fair wages and benefits that should be accorded them, and on how to approach and pass this info on to their fellow employees to facilitate and hopefully someday win union representation.
The situation with FedEx's Home Delivery Division is an actual violation of the rules and standards of the National Labor Relations Act. This is a situation where a friend in high places, such as Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, can get the job done so much easier than the Teamsters Union, which has no contract to represent the workers of FedEx and can only legally speak out in their behalf.
The Teamsters are and have been attempting to organize this giant company to put them on an even business keel with UPS, which is the largest union carrier in the U.S.
