They're not law enforcement officers; they settle labor disputes. It take a law enforcement officer, such as Andrew Cuomo, to file the lawsuit. If there's no complaint what can the NLRB do. FedEx is classifying the workers as "independent contractors" and as such they are treating them correctly. Andrew Cuomo is bringing forth the reality of the workers labors to show that they are treated and utilized as you would treat an employee. An individual blue collar worker is not going to take on an employer as powerful as FedEx because he would soon find himself looking for a new way to feed his family.
Money is power; the only adversary to this power is worker unity.
