[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 724640, member: 24302"] OK, but didn't FedEx raise rates already this year? As to mgmt, in areas that were hard hit by the economy they found there were too many mgrs for the employees they had. Excess mgrs were given the option to transfer to stations in need of a mgr or to leave the company. Our station received one of those mgrs, but recently got approval for a 3rd mgr also, who has since transferred in. We aren't going the barebones approach. Apparently they have heard about bloated regional HQ's. Our district has been absorbed into 2 others and our district office has shut down. They've been in the process of consolidating operations into fewer stations nationwide for some time now. Getting ready to meet the challenge of paying union wages? Or getting ready to trim Express to the bone? We may get the union in, may get the higher pay, may even get better benefits. But those counting on $60k to $70k jobs plus UPS comparable benefits are probably going to be disappointed. If we get $30 hr but only 25-30 hrs a week, what then? Do we strike? I know what I'd do. I'll finally have some leeway to work a 2nd job without worrying about DOT regs. So I'll make close to $60k between the two. Knowing FedEx, that's the only way I'll ever make that kind of money.
