[QUOTE="MAKAVELI, post: 5246526, member: 43825"] Coming directly from Fred S. "Smith said FedEx Express handles air shipments in a separate network tying directly into its air operation, unlike UPS." Even if FedEx Express drivers are handling less home delivery volume, it’s hard to see how the company continues to maintain its RLA coverage as it hands off deliveries to Ground, said Deena Merlen, an employment and labor lawyer at Reavis Page Jump LLP. Past court battles have sided with FedEx. “Not that I have a crystal ball, but it will be very difficult not to reclassify FedEx if it is going to once again get caught up in all kinds of litigation,” Merlen said.
