[QUOTE="FedExer267, post: 630718, member: 18716"] The way I look at it is yes there are contractors however there are those of us that are employyes of that contractor. Fed Ex wants nothing to do with us except ask us why service wasnt met or call us and use are minutes on are personal phones and ask us to reattempt a delivery or go to their meetings dress in there uniforms and deliver their packages however we dont work for them. We dont get vacation pay, benefits, sick days, holiday pay, retirement, or overtime. If we dont work we dont get paid on the flip side to that Fed Ex will tell us that they dont operate on certain days so we are not getting paid. If we are truly independent why can't we work when we want. The other day I had a supervisor tell me they have a support group for drivers like us its called the Teamsters I asked him for the number. This was because the poor guy next to me has one pair of shorts and has had to sew them up because they split. Fed Ex refuses to give him another pair til his contractor pays for them so I guess they would rather have this poor guy hanging out than supply him with a pair of shorts. Whatever!!! So maybe all the ground drivers should show up in jeans to work see if they try and send us all home.. Its not much of a stand but it is a begining!!!! [/QUOTE]
