<P>Being harassed, isolated, and even fired hits workers

<P class=style1>You'll never look at that bright white

<P class=style1>FedEx Ground advertises efficiency and

and propaganda – even firing.</STRONG></P>

<P class=style1>To fatten its bottom line, FedEx has strived
for years to keep its company union-free. More than 15,000
FedEx Ground drivers have neither a voice at work nor the
ability to stand up to the company. </P>
<P class=style1><STRONG>FedEx Ground drivers—who work long
hours, often without benefits—are frequently harassed and
even fired for supporting a union. </STRONG>According
to federal charges and interviews with drivers, here's the
complete unionbusting "package" delivered by FedEx Ground
management:</P>
<UL class=style1>
<LI><STRONG>Propaganda:</STRONG> Anti-union posters
plastered all over worksites, and a threatening anti-union
video distributed to drivers.
<LI><STRONG>Persuasion:</STRONG> Steak dinners and sudden
attempts to address grievances ignored for years, all to
discourage workers from supporting union efforts.
<LI><STRONG>Intimidation:</STRONG> Where persuasion fails,
<EM>there's outright bullying</EM>. High-level management
arrive on the scene to harass, isolate, retaliate against,
and even terminate union supporters.</LI></UL>
<P class=style1>So why don't these drivers just quit if they
don't like their jobs? FedEx makes them lease their own
trucks—which cost around $40,000—so quitting can mean losing
a major personal investment. Unions are often their only
recourse. </P>
<P class=style1><STRONG>Tell FedEx Ground to shape up or
ship out! <A

<P class=style1>Stay tuned for more ways to get involved in
the coming weeks. And please forward this message to friends
and family.</P>
<P class=style1>Thank you for helping make sure FedEx Ground
drivers get a fair deal.</P>
