FedEx Ground Denies NLRB Allegations in Northboro - May 08, 2007

The Worcester Telegram & Gazette followed up with the NLRB and reports on FedEx Ground's response to the Region 1 complaint.

Although the language suggests that it is the Teamsters that have made the allegations, in fact the complaint comes from the NLRB and its investigation of the practices by FedEx in its anti-union campaign in Northboro.  If the workers' charges of unfair labor practices in Northboro were just hot air, then the NLRB investigation would conclude without a sound.  Instead, the NLRB concluded that there was enough evidence of illegal actions by FedEx to file the complaint.

This is very similar to what happened to unfair labor practice charges stemming from the Barrington, NJ events.  In that case, the NLRB complaint also caused brave talk from FedEx spokesmen but ultimately FedEx Ground settled for cash considerations with those workers.
