[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1073474, member: 24302"] Lowest payscale started at $14.46hr before last March. Not sure if starting pay was raised then but at least half of the country is under the two lowest payscales, including quite a few larger cities and very expensive resort towns. FedEx doesn't base payscale on fairness but on the lowest they can pay and still attract and keep employees. I don't think any of our payscales start at $20.50 as usually there's about a $7-$8 dollar difference between starting pay and top-out. And MFE is right, a major contributing factor IMO to Express getting 2% raises for awhile and 3% for many of us now is that they can find drivers for Ground who'll do it for considerably less. That, plus no chance of a union makes them confidant they can pay less and get away with it. Another reason they get away with it is the mythology that FedEx couriers make great money. People think if they can get on they have it made. [/QUOTE]
