If You Absolutely, Positively Don't Want It There Overnight

Here's a potential gem from the Democratic Congress. The House slipped an amendment into the bill re-authorizing the FAA that would force FedEx - and only FedEx - to handle labor disputes under a different provision of Federal law than all other airline-based cargo businesses. If the change passes the Senate, a strike anywhere in the U.S. against FedEx, even over a local grievance, will allow a nationwide strike to knuckle FedEx into submission. It was sponsored by the Teamsters (and UPS) through one of their House allies. Surprise, surprise, surprise. The Dems want us to look more like Europe, so I guess the British and Italian models of wildcat strikes shutting down vital national services is where we are headed. I hope there is an economy left when the Dems get done with imposing their ideas of "progressive" legislation.
