The FedEx pilots who belong to the Air Line Pilots Association voted 57% against the proposed contract, which was reached in May and endorsed by union leadership. The proposed contract would have provided for a 30% pay increase, as well as a 30% improvement in pension benefit. Major objections from the rank-and-file are not yet clear. But even with the “no” vote, the 5,200 FedEx pilots won’t be able to go on strike any time soon.
“The tentative agreement voting results have no impact on our service as we continue delivering for our customers around the world” said the company. “FedEx will continue to bargain in good faith with our pilots to achieve an agreement that is fair for all FedEx stakeholders.” FedEx pilots are the only significant group of employees at the company who are union members. The union said that it will go back to the bargaining table in search of a deal membership will accept.
