The case was taken to the US Court of Appeals and FedEx won the case. Very basically, the court agreed that FedEx that the people the Teamsters were trying to organize were independent work area contractors and not employees of FedEx.

I think it was something like that. I'm not certain my mind is failing lately.
I'm not sure BK; I'm not up to speed on the story you related. I'll have to research that myself to see if we're thinking of a similar scenario
