The National Labor Relations Board in a June 18 order certified a 24-8 vote at two Wilmington facilities from Oct. 20 after reviewing the company's objections of improper conduct, the Washington-based union said today in a statement.

FedEx, the world's largest air-cargo carrier, disagrees with the decision and "will use the only means available to us to get a court review - refusing to bargain," company spokesman Maury Lane said in an e-mailed statement.

The next chapter of this is yet to be written.
