Five current and former FedEx workers have scored a win that forces FedEx to pay them more than $253,000 and clears the way for a union election in February at a FedEx terminal in Northboro, Massachusetts. The workers charged they were harassed by FedEx for a Teamsters Union organizing effort. FedEx is trying to block workers from organizing by claiming the drivers are independent contractors rather than employees. The NLRB says they’re employees, which means they have a legal right to organize.
