Is it important for businesses to play an active role in the political process? History paints an active play on how businesses tend to exercise their political powers to influence special interests. Some could argue that this political influence dates back to the Revolutionary War. In today's changing and demanding society, businesses and Congress continues to play the political wars to influence their interests. In the Federal Express and Congress case, is it apparent that Federal Express exercised their political power to influence Congress to amend the Railway Labor Act or were they simply trying to correct a change that Congress made mistakenly? Or is Congress playing against one another because of their own political agenda? The FedEx Amendment was a technical fix to the Railway Labor Act. In 1995 Congress had inadvertently dropped the term “expressed company” from the language of the Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act.
