Today, FedEx gets preferential treatment vis-a-vis UPS in the matter of what labor law prevails. UPS has to abide by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA,) while FedEx gets to follow the less onerous Railway Labor Act (RLA,) which covers railroads and airliners. This inconsistency gives FedEx a significant competitive advantage.
the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Bill would fundamentally change how FedEx Express is regulated.
Colorado Mountain Guy asserts that UPS is comprised primarily of ground operations, while FedEx Express exists as an airline company, operating in fundamentally different ways.
Tell me, Ms. or Mr. consumer: do you note this distinction when selecting a package delivery service ?
UPS is attempting to make the case that two companies should be subject to the same regulations. CMG asserts that treating competitors the same would give UPS an “unfair regulatory advantage” over FedEx.
I’m just not seein’ it.
CMG, what stake do you have in this ? Could that be affecting your judgment ?
…..
FedEx is the result of federal largess and payola. It grew out of a CIA front company that was financed with tax dollars to the tune of maybe a Billion dollars. When they turned into a private company, they got their entire fleet of aircraft free, courtesy of the American taxpayer.
FedEx is accustomed to preferential treatment. They could not have come into existence without it, and apparently cannot survive without it.
On this basis, since they are addicted to and dependent on preferential treatment from the Government, that means we are obligated to protect them forever from the vagaries of the market.

For some reason (I worked for Brown for 3 months 25 years ago, great workout, lousy job, morbid curiosity??), I have read two very long diaries and I have yet to be presented with why one labor board is better than the other.
For that matter how Fed Ex being forced to change whatever board would jeapordize rural service or why it’s anti-business.
This isn’t Fox News, try to actually explain your positions.
FedEx union members have to vote en masse to strike. Whereas, UPS union members can vote at the local level (e.g. Teamsters in St. Louis) to strike themselves, regardless of how the rest of the union members feel.
If these two companies should be treated equally, it should be under the rules that FedEx currently fall under – much more business friendly. In fact, I believe they even supported UPS’ efforts to do so at one time.

I incorrectly assumed that is was so technically complex that it couldn’t be explained to a layman like me in less than 1,000 words.
