FedEx is doing unbelievably well. What will be the excuse to hourlies and FedEx ground drivers this year?

Raises for hourlies are coming in October.
Ground drivers should ask their employers.

I have yet to hear about October raises.....what is the percentage?

 

[CJinx]

I can't speak for Express as Ground employee raises are review based. Since they moved the effective date from July to October, they haven't exactly been in a hurry to let us know the results but they did say we're getting compensated for the quarter of missed raise money.

"Raises?" if you wanna call them that.

I doubt they will be review based anymore

What about the handlers who haven't seen a raise in forever?

I'll be gone, it won't bother me, but I do have friends and family

That'll certainly be a crutch for them to use as an "excuse."

I can't speak for the express handlers but the ground handlers get three raises in their first year and one raise for the next three years. It's not a terribly lucrative position; more of a 'foot in the door' job(get promoted) or just something to throw on a resumé.

Less then the cost of living index.

Far less then the cost of living index.
