  • United Parcel Service-Federal Express-National Labor Relations
    United Parcel Service-Federal Express-National Labor Relations Act-Railway Labor Act-Union Employee-Independent Contractor- FedEx-Current Developments of the Legal Status of FedEx Workers- and the Trend of Employers Classifying Employees as Independent Contractors Richard Trotter University of Baltimore UPS and FedEx are both package delivery services, however UPS workers are considered employees under the National Labor Relations Act and are represented by the Teamsters Union. FedEx, which began as an air delivery service is under the jurisdiction of the Railway Labor Act. In recent years, FedEx management has restructured its relationships with its workers in such a way as to classify them as independent contractors. Legislative actions on both the state and federal level have sought to impose stricter scrutiny on employers classifying their employees as independent contractors. INTRODUCTION The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) was originally enacted in 1935. Since its original enactment the law has been amended twice, in 1947 with the enactment of the Taft-Hartley Act and again in 1959 with the enactment of the Landrum-Griffin Act. The basic philosophic underpinnings of the law is that it protects a worker’s right to organize into labor Unions, and once organized workers can seek to be represented by a union through the election process administered by the NLRB. Once a union is chosen, the employer has a duty to engage in collective bargaining with the union elected by the employees. In 1926 the Railway Labor Act was enacted originally to govern labor relations in the railway industry. The purpose behind the law was to ensure the smooth running of the railroads without labor disruptions particularly in times of war or other national crisis.

    Amazon, in Threat to UPS, Tries Its Own Deliveries; An Alternative to Shippers Like FedEx and UPS, New Service Could Deliver Goods the Same Day as Purchased Bensinger, Greg . Wall Street Journal (Online) ; New York, N.Y. [New York, N.Y]24 Apr 2014: n/a. ProQuest document link ABSTRACT The move is a shot across the bow of United Parcel Service Inc., FedEx Corp. and the U.S. Postal Service, which now deliver the majority of Amazon packages. Customer-service representatives and former employees say those codes designate Amazon's in-house delivery network. FULL TEXT The future of Amazon.com Inc. is hiding in plain sight in a San Francisco parking lot. Adjacent to recently closed Candlestick Park, Amazon is testing its own delivery network for the "last mile," the final leg of a package's journey to consumers' doorsteps. Trucks loaded with Amazon packages and driven by Amazon-supervised contractors leave for addresses around San Francisco. Similar efforts are under way in Los Angeles and New York. Delivering its own packages will give Amazon, stung by Christmas shipping delays, more control over the shopping experience. It can also help contain shipping expenses, which have grown as a percentage of sales each year since 2009, according to securities filings. On Thursday, Amazon reported another quarter of skimpy profit even as sales increased 23% to $19.74 billion. Shipping costs rose 31%, and it also spent on cloud computing and new initiatives. The company reported a first- quarter profit of $108 million, compared with $82 million a year earlier.
