Socialist Democrats Want To Destroy Prosperous Business



The socialist Barack Hussein Obama and Democrats have decided they do not want prosperous FedEx to stay prosperous.  These socialists want to destroy FedEx.  Why? Because FedEx isn’t union.

Rep. James L. Oberstar (D-MN) led the way and the House on May 21 passed legislation that contains an almost hidden provision.   It is 230 words that would hobble FedEx Express. It would do so by completely changing the labor laws under which the company operates.

Unless the Senate removes the language from a bill reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration, a handful of workers in just one city could hamstring much of the nation's overnight delivery service. We Americans take for granted that things can absolutely, positively ... be there overnight' -- but it took FedEx Express to make that happen.

FedEx is, of course, one of the greatest corporate success stories of modern times, having grown from a mere idea in a 1965 term paper by Yale University undergraduate Frederick W. Smith into a company essential to the workings of our modern economy.

It is a little-known fact that FedEx contracts with the US Postal Service to carry almost all of its Express Mail and a large proportion of its Priority Mail. FedEx delivers huge amounts of needed supplies for American military forces, too and its service is just about the only way to guarantee that some lifesaving medicines reach patients overnight.

Some kinds of transportation companies are the lifeblood of interstate commerce. That's why Congress wrote the Railway Labor Act to apply special labor-relations rules to railroads and, eventually, airline-based businesses such as FedEx Express.  Since 1926, the RLA has provided successfully for means other than strikes to resolve labor disputes fairly and quickly, without favoring either side. The RLA does not, however, apply to non-rail, mostly ground-transportation companies such as the United Parcel Service. UPS instead is governed by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the terms of which favor unions such as the Teamsters, which represents UPS drivers.

UPS and the Teamsters both have an interest in destroying FedEx. Together, the ground-delivery company and the union have executed what The Hill newspaper called a lobbying 'pincer movement' to transfer authority over FedEx Express from the RLA to the NLRA. Socialist Obama argues that he is merely trying to treat similar workers similar. FedEx Express counters that they and UPS are very different companies. FedEx says it ships 85 percent of its goods by air, whereas UPS sends 85 percent of its goods by truck. UPS trying to squash FedEx is like Goliath sitting on David. Again using FedEx Express numbers, UPS has 425,000 employees in a business doing $49.7 billion in annual revenue, compared to FedEx Express' 143,000 employees and $22.7 billion in revenue.

Another great US start-up company about to be ruined by, who else? The socialist democrats and unions.  Is this the change socialist Obama talks about?  FedEx and America is learning the socialist Democrats' economic policy; 'Never Let Success Go Unpunished.'
