For FedEx, free enterprise is state-sponsored piracy

I thought extortion was only a Mafia tactic, but it appears that even non-profit conservative groups and mail delivery services are willing to resort to dramatic villainy... bold as day.

The American Conservative Union (not an actual union, or charity for that matter), tried to extort FedEx into a $2 million to $3 million "pay for play" in exchange for legislative bribery.

FexEx, the "victim" in this case, is facing pro-union legislative pressure via the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2009. Naturally, a GOP lobbying organization is willing to sell their tattered souls to the detriment of honest workers. When FedEx declined, the ACU supported the opposition, more union-friendly UPS.

The drama continues... FedEx is as resistant to unions as Walmart, and as dog eats dog, so FedEx fights it's workers tooth and nail. Not even congress is immune. FedEx threaten to cancel nearly $7 billion in American-made airplane contrats if capitol hill decides to play hero to working folks. Nice.

According to the US Congress, you can E-mail, call or write the President, Congress or state and local government based on your ZIP code... Please do; let them know that we are ALL working class people, and we support each other's right to unionize.
