Walking in Memphis
On 24 May 2023, ALPA announced that hundreds of FedEx Express pilots, in a strong show of support for the air-carrier’s ALPA negotiating team—had participated in an informational picket on the grounds of the FedEx Express Air Operations Center. The picket was undertaken for purpose of protesting fantastically protracted, abjectly unproductive contract negotiations—negotiations convened in May 2021 and relegated to mediation in October 2022.
