NLRB Revokes Union Certification at FedEx Freight Terminal

Business Wire
FedEx Freight, the industry leader in less-than-truckload
transportation, and a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX),
announced that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has issued
an order officially revoking the certification of the Teamsters
union as the bargaining representative of city and road drivers at
the FedEx Freight location in Monmouth Junction, N.J.
This order is a result of the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Local 701 disclaiming interest in representing the FedEx
Freight employees in this location. The revocation comes on the
heels of FedEx Freight drivers in Croydon, Pa., and Charlotte,
N.C., voting the union out.
To date, at three of the four FedEx Freight locations that
originally voted for Teamster representation, the Union has either
been decertified by employee vote or voluntarily decided not to
continue as bargaining representative.
“Our thriving and open work environment provides a flexible,
team-oriented and customer-focused work model, and our
people-service-profit philosophy remains at the core of our success
and forms the foundation of the unparalleled service that FedEx
delivers daily to our customers worldwide,” said Michael L. Ducker,
president and CEO of FedEx Freight.
