Never work. Boxes are so poorly designed they can't handle the traffic they get now.

Not necessarily true. I know a Ground driver gets the same benefits we do. Though, I never discussed details with her.
Who cares about intent? Just simply WAD

This is one time I say not to Work as directed unless you are going to make a record of it for a future lawsuit.Not necessarily true. I know a Ground driver gets the same benefits we do. Though, I never discussed details with her.

I would think you will all have to document supes telling you to pick up ground packages. Take photos of anything from the FEE side telling you to pick up FEG packages. It would be best to show it is being done all across the country to show wide disregard for the RLA classification.
This might be easier than you think.

Drivers getting written up with OLCC's for not taking the ground freight is also useful documentation.
You would also have to show it is in violation of the RLA. In past threads it has always been the assertion that there is nothing prohibiting Ground from Delhi vering Express packages. The prohibition came in Ground picking up Express. The converse may not be true. It may be that Express can pick up Ground and not violate RLA law.

It may not be violating RLA law per say but they couldn't use the argument that Express only handles air freight, unlike UPS. This is one of the main reasons for keeping the opco separate.

I just want to make friends!
"I picked up 29 pieces of Ground freight this month. Twenty-nine pieces of the MILLIONS they handle out each month."
I bet that will revolutionize the shipping industry as we know it.

The tip of the iceberg, Dano. We stop it now. Of course, we know that you're a strong supporter of doing Ground's work.

29 pieces that your station didn't get paid for. Take that 29 and multiply it by all the stations in the US and that becomes a lot of packages that are being picked up by Express for free.

We have realists and we have Kool-Aid drinkers. Wreaking havoc by disrupting operations is one of the few avenues we have to encourage change. Years ago, I would never have proposed disloyalty to FedEx or disobeying policy. The "new" FedEx has changed my perspective. You need to get a reality check, get-off the Kool-Aid, and understand your true position as an employee...bent over and ready to be kicked under the bus at a moment's notice.

She could wear the uniform, ride a 10-speed bike, and have a name badge that says "Elder CJinx". Praise FedEx!!

She would be "Sister CJinx". Elders are male.

The philosophy of friend.W. Smith: So run this company as directed, but only if it screws the employees in some way. If working as directed benefits the hourlies... Well, we can't have that.
See how we are influenced?
Get it?

Thanks! It has taken some time to learn this new way of working but fedex has been a real inspiration.
