FedEx Corp pilots are inching closer to a potential strike as negotiations stall on a new labour agreement.
Leaders of the FedEx Express pilots union approved a strike authorisation vote, according to a statement from the Air Line Pilots Association. A date for the vote wasn’t specified.
The union said no new talks have been scheduled between the two sides.
The move underscores the rift between the union and FedEx management despite almost six months of oversight by a federal mediator.
Calling for a vote is one step in a lengthy process laid out under federal law that could lead to an eventual strike.
The potential vote has no impact on FedEx’s service and the company said in a statement that it’s “still in productive negotiations†with its pilots.
