Sorry to prove you wrong, but after doing a quick INTERNET search, it proved that several countrywide outfits, including CNBC, FOX, Marketwatch, among others, are indeed covering the case:What papers? They might settle because its cheaper than fighting it. But the fact is it hasn't gone national and I can't find a link to a single major news source covering it. Unless you consider the Memphis daily news as a major news source no one will see this or care.
That's a very good question. Sounds like a "class action" to me.Well if doing the same work for lower pay is the issue here why can't midrange employees sue FedEx since they're doing the same work for less pay?

Let me know how many articles pop up about this.
And the news is covering the court precedent, not the woman claiming equal pay.
Like I said, NO ONE WILL SEE THIS OR CARE. Sorry to point out reality.
So.........that doesn't mean FedEx will win this.What papers? They might settle because its cheaper than fighting it. But the fact is it hasn't gone national and I can't find a link to a single major news source covering it.

This wasn't an explanation of why FedEx would win this lawsuit. Try to keep up.
This is your take on the case but doesn't explain in detail why FedEx will win in legal terms.They offer a buyout to the current employee. Reclassify the job and offer the newly classified position to someone. She accepts the new position and then sues because she's not making as much as the guy before her.
Sounds more like an employee that's pissed she stuck around and is trying to get a payout.
Sounds like she didn't read the print when she accepted the new job, and what she was expecting versus what the paperwork said she was getting were two different figures. It stands to reason that the position would be reclassified to pay less, otherwise why offer a buyout to the guy currently holding it?
She was probably painted a pretty picture by FedEx upper management (in other words, lied to) when she accepted the position. Happens all the time.Sounds like she didn't read the print when she accepted the new job, and what she was expecting versus what the paperwork said she was getting were two different figures.

Be that as it may, she signed an agreement that laid out the terms of her new job as well as the compensation and benefits she would receive. Unless someone tape recorded a manager saying "you will be paid the same as he was", it would seem that this would boil down to a "he said, she said" argument. MFE is probably right; I expect this will likely get settled out of court on the company's terms (gag order).She was probably painted a pretty picture by FedEx upper management (in other words, lied to) when she accepted the position.
