Meanwhile, here the company has told us that ground contractors will be bought out at 15% over the value of their route and offered ft employment and retain their seniority, if they decide to move to Express. Their employees, meanwhile will not be offered guaranteed employment but can apply to Express as a new employee, losing any seniority they accrued working at ground.
At the same time, ground contractors are telling their employees they will simply move over to Express and keep doing what they have been doing, while keeping their seniority and route.
One side is being lied to (or very well could be both sides being lied to.). Though, I tend to believe contractors are lying to their employees as I have also been told any contractor that remains until the merger is complete will receive a bonus, so they probably are telling their guys whatever it takes to keep them from running for the door.
