Don't Sit Out the Fight at FedEx Ground Actions - June 16, 2006

In a series of actions by Teamsters local unions, Teamster members fanned out around the country during June to distribute educational leaflets to FedEx Ground and Home Delivery drivers.  Their message was simple: Don't Sit Out the Fight at FedEx Ground - Drivers are Employees, Not Contractors - Employees Have Rights to Form Unions

FedEx Ground and Home Delivery drivers are fighting against the illegal misclassification as "contractors" and the cost shifting of taxes and operating expenses that should rightly be paid by FedEx.  The courts are repeatedly ruling for the drivers and against FedEx.  When drivers and the Teamsters are fighting for union rights before the National Labor Relations Board, the Board is repeatedly ruling for the drivers and against FedEx.

If the Teamsters were at your station but you didn't get a chance to talk to someone, send us a note and we'll put you in touch with a person to answer your questions.  If the Teamsters weren't around this time, send us a note and we'll get someone to contact you about your station.  Send any email to fedexwatch AT teamster DOT org.
