Fed Up with FedEx: How FedEx Ground Tramples Workers’ Rights and Civil Rights

American Rights at Work & the Leadershp Conference on Civil Rights - October 2007

FedEx Corporation is a striking example of a company widely considered to be a pillar of American success and corporate responsibility.

FedEx’s troubling labor practices are masked by the company’s globally-recognized brand name and its reputation for both getting the job done and being a great place to work. Most Americans remain unaware of what has become an insidious pattern of anti-union conduct and efforts to subvert labor and discrimination law that call FedEx’s reputation into question.
