You can always depend on Congress to MAKE THINGS EVEN WORSE. Oberstar is a crooked weasel.

That’s a great quote! I need a bumper sticker that says that.

Your notion is predicated upon this still being a Constitutional Republic. But in reality this nation has been transformed into a federal oligarchy run by the democrap party and their affirmative action figure fraud-in-chief, and the subpreme Roberts court has placed their stamp of approval uopn it all.

What the article does not make clear is that UPS is currently unionized and FedEx is not. UPS would like FedEx to have the same albatross around it's neck.
The worker vote on unionization at FedEx is currently a nationwide vote as required by current law.
The Dems want to change this law by having another Federal agency for oversight. Then "local", rather than national, rules would applied to the voting process.

It appears that Obama’s primary economic intention is to either directly control the private sector or to render it utterly dependent on Washington. Are these some of the jobs he will have “saved or created”?

If I recall, the president or head guy at FEDEX said he’d close the company before he’d allow a union in. I might be wrong. If I am, please correct my posting.

Congress is a hideout where thieves and others of low character convene for the purpose of getting their stories straight, splitting up the take, and planning future heists.

Then we need to work to reverse this trend. This is not a legacy to leave to those not yet born.

Actually, the article makes that clear. What doesn’t make it clear is the shortened version that I had to post by virtue of our 300-word limit.

UPS and its house union, the Teamsters (and you'd better believe the locals are "house" unions, there at the invitation of management right from the foundation of the company) want Fed-Ex to also be unionized ~ preferably by the Teamsters, so that the UPS management team can directly influence how Fed-Ex is going to be managed in the future.
This has nothing to do with unionization, per se. It has everything to do with predatory anti-trust activities!
The Obama regime will probably not do anything about the anti-trust violations.

“We” are now in the minority and the democrap party is spending tax money ($8 billion so far in the past ten months) to strengthen the vote fraud and falsification of census through ACORN and subsidiaries. I’m afraid, short of using the left’s techniques (criminal methodology), it is already too late to stop the affirmative action figure’s brand of democrat Marxism.

What you heard is that Fed-Ex wants to get out of the Parcel Processing and Delivery Business. They became an Express and Baggage airline some time back, like that part of the business, and want to simply "contract out" handling and delivery to other organizations.
I think the UPS ambition here is to FORCE Fed-Ex to contract out processing and delivery to THEM rather than to other private operators, or to the Postal Service.
