"FedEx bests UPS in lobbying skirmish"
The Hill has this report.
"FedEx appears to have triumphed over UPS in a multimillion-dollar lobbying battle over a labor provision in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill.
A 230-word clause added to the FAA bill introduced in the last Congress would have brought FedEx under the same labor laws as UPS. The two shipping companies turned to K Street to duke it out over the provision."
