Don't use FedEx for your holiday shipping

The holiday shipping season has begun. I can't walk into a post office or shipping store without encountering very long lines.

There are lots of different shipping companies to choose from. So this holiday season, choose the U.S. Postal Service, or UPS, or DHL, or whoever. But stay away from FedEx.

According to the organization American Rights at Work, "FedEx has built a successful company on the backs of its drivers while pledging to 'never recognize any unions' at the company."

The right for workers to form unions is guaranteed via Article 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A union is often the only thing that stands between a worker and corporate tyranny run amok.

But FedEx doesn't care. They continue to threaten and harrass employees who try to join a union. And that's only one of the issues.

FedEx clearly puts profits above its people.

Please set your shipping standards higher. Don't use FedEx.
