I'm a Fedex Freight Linedriver out of Fontana,Ca.
You wouldn't believe whats happened since about 7/14/08.
One example is that all dockworkers were given the option to get a CDL and become a dock/driver,or-and most interesting-become part time WITH NO BENEFITS.The last option-my theory-is that they wanted you to quit.
In 1/09 layover bids will be drastically reduced and you will have to work the dock if your run isn't ready;you may opt out of the dock but then you sit on YOUR TIME until the run is ready.
Candidly,I was not for a union in the past-an old Viking Freight System guy.Since this new policy has been implimented I've been active in organizing in Petaluma,Ca and assisting in Fontana,Ca.
For anyone who has a sentimental attitude toward Fedex Freight GET OVER IT.
It ain't pretty.
