While the main stream media (MSM) focus on Ft. Hood and ObamaCare, a pending labor bill in Congress is being pressured by UPS to give them a free market advantage over FedEx by killing FedEx’s successful business model.

UPS is attempting to force its union thuggery and lobbying upon the House of Representatives’ version of the bill. The House version would force jurisdiction of FedEx employees into the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) from the current jurisdiction of the National Railway Labor Act (NRLA).

The NRLA (railway) original legislative intent was focused on preventing/minimizing strike actions in the railroad and airline transportation sectors. You see now? NRLA allows the workers to organize only if they vote to unionize, at the same time. This is the thug-barrier which has prevented unions from infesting FedEx, save for the approximately 5,000 unionized FedEx pilots.

What does this have to do with Grandma’s Christmas gifts?

Well, if UPS union thugs get their way, FedEx will be controlled by NLRA (you know, the labor union act) and escalate shipping costs of the Christmas presents you’re getting from Grandma.

Pre-Bill Passage: If you don’t get any presents from Grandma, refer your complaints to The North Pole. I’m certain FedEx flies there.

Post-Bill Passage: Blame UPS if the thugs win. Remember, unions gave millions and millions to the Democrats to get them in office.

The good people over at Reason.com have produced a video to explain the problem.

Unions want to control the free market

General Government Motors is a perfect example of how unions can kill a company. Without your tax dollars going to corporate welfare, unions would not have survived in the automaker sector.

“What it’s really about is equal treatment of drivers under the law. A driver is a driver is a driver.” Malcolm Berkley, a public relations manager for UPS based in Washington D.C.

This spokeshole claims approximately 50,000 FedEx drivers do not fall under the union-thuggery-grip of the NLRA (thug act) and these drivers are an ‘anomaly’ in the package delivery sector.

It’s called a better mouse trap!

It’s union code for ‘scabs’. The unions want to infiltrate FedEx to control them because UPS wants to kill off FedEx’s better business model. What better way to infect a company by using governmental action? The unions bought off the Democrats and hope to buy this bill into law.

If you can’t beat them in the free market, pay off PolioPaths and pass a law to kill your competition.

Did you know UPS was employee (union) owned?

Oh, did you get any stimulus money? Or, were you a payee?

Thank The Leftys and the union thugs.

I am,
