New Jersey: Workers at a New Jersey facility of package delivery company FedEx Corp unit FedEx Freight voted against union membership, the latest in a series of setbacks for the Teamsters union’s efforts to unionise the company’s workforce.
In a statement, FedEx Freight welcomed the result of the vote by drivers at the Cinnaminson facility in New Jersey not to seek union representation. “FedEx Freight respects each employee’s right to make his or her own decision, but we prefer to work directly with employees without involving a union,” the company said.
Representatives of the Teamsters union could not be reached for comment. The Teamster have been trying unsuccessfully to unionize FedEx workers, claiming company intimidation ahead of votes. Reuters
