FedEx Freight Drivers Reject Teamsters in W. Va.

Business Wire
FedEx Freight, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp (NYSE: FDX), announced
that union representation elections were held at its locations in
Parkersburg and Charleston, West Virginia, last week resulting in
two more losses for the union. Drivers in both locations voted
against representation by the Teamsters union and in favor of
continuing their direct relationship with FedEx Freight. The
Teamsters union also withdrew another election petition the day
before the scheduled vote, this time at the Clarksburg, West
Virginia, location.
“We are proud of our drivers in West Virginia for making
informed decisions,” said Pat Reed, executive vice president and
chief operating officer, FedEx Freight. “We continue to work with
our team to ensure that FedEx Freight remains a great place to
work.”
The Teamsters have lost the vote or withdrawn their petition in
11 scheduled elections. In addition to Parkersburg and Charleston,
West Virginia, FedEx Freight drivers have voted against the union
in Cinnaminson and Newark, New Jersey, and Louisville, Kentucky. In
addition to the Clarksburg withdrawal, the union has withdrawn
petitions before the scheduled elections in Nashville, Tennessee,
North Harrisburg and Pocono Summit, Pennsylvania, South Newark, New
Jersey, and Richmond, Virginia. The union would only withdraw its
election petitions if it knew it would lose the vote in those
locations.
