  • 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 INTRODUCTION The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) was originally enacted in 1935.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.
