There is no love lost between Jeff Bezos and Fred Smith, given the unpleasant break- up of their companies’ shipping marriage in 2019.
Yet in decisively thwarting efforts to organize 5,800 workers at Amazon.com s Bessemer, Alabama warehouse, Bezos took a page right from the FedEx founder’s anti-union playbook.
Other than about 5,000 unionized pilots that came over after FedEx acquired the old Flying Tiger Line cargo airline in 1988, and a smattering of workers at its FedEx Freight LTL unit, FedEx has remained non-union for its 50-year history. Smith and Co. have beaten back multiple organizing efforts by persuading FedEx workers that wages, benefits, working conditions and an open-door relationship makes third-party bargaining units irrelevant.

The effort by the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store union to organize 5,800 workers at Amazon.com Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Bessemer, Alabama, warehouse is being seen as a defining moment for the organized labor movement. The union has pushed the world’s most powerful company to the limit, earning plaudits from supporters and observers for its cohesion and determination. It even won the support of President Joe Biden, who in a near-unprecedented step for a sitting U.S. president defended the Amazon workers’ “free and fair choice to join a union.”
