In the minutia, it does seem like FedEx rightfully deserves criticism for expecting workers to work in unsafe conditions.
This part was interesting:
In Brockton, Massachusetts, in 2011, union supporters signed up 75 percent of the package handlers at the FedEx Ground center there and seemed headed for a victory. At the last moment, the Teamsters called off the election. Why? Members of Socialist Alternative, a small socialist group whose most prominent public figure currently is Kshama Sawant, a Seattle City Council member, were playing a leading role in the organizing drive. One key organizer of the failed drive in Brockton told me he thought that the anti-communism of the Teamsters was a motivating factor for the union to call off the election.
A... unionization drive called off because of the anti-communism of the teamsters in... 2011? I guess there is more on heaven and earth than is dreamed of in my philosophy.
