You are exactly correct sir. I think a lot of Americans see the exploitation process at work, but are helpless to do anything meaningful about it. Since the corporations basically run the country as they see fit, it's "take it or leave it" as far as employees are concerned. If you won't take $13 per hour, someone else will, and since there are few alternatives for many, there isn't much of a choice.
Fred and his ilk have this country by the balls, and Ground is just one prime example of exploiting the crap out of workers who have a "choice" of being exploited by WalMart, an auto assembly plant, or Amazon. As the bar gets ever lower, so does the standard of living, and the expectation from employers that workers will "take it".

I find that hard to believe reading your comments. Kind of the opposite of what Obama is trying to accomplish in his 2 terms.
Believe it. And when the landscape changes, I will be happy to oblige. Just don't expect me to fall on a sword until you Express guys are ready to openly unionize.

People like you don't give more when they can. They just take more for themselves. So save the bullsheet for someone else.
then there will be no shortage of things for you to rage about.

I'm also Obama all the way, and what Ground does is not in his playbook.
I used to believe that. Not so sure anymore. Haven't seen him do much to change the landscape and haven't heard of any initiatives to do so. There is a difference between being theoretically opposed to something and doing something about it.
as it has always been, is now, and always shall be.

The other side of the coin is most companies say "we gotta do this till things get better." Most companies do start giving back once things get better. Fedex never gives that back once there's an excuse to take away. Pure shadiness. To top it off they aren't even embarrassed to act like this. As long as the public says "Hey nice Mercedes." Thats all Fedex cares about. When there's bad PR they sure do everything they can to fix it. When no one's paying attention. "We'll were can we make up that money? " " Let's just rape the Express employees. Hey, we can push the start time another 10 minutes."

Sorry bbsam,really? What exactly do u do more? Then just do pick ups as well as deliveries. Maybe more stops cause of your volume. Which u guys milk anyway in overtime. On the other hand we are out there with printers inputting manual shipping slips and correcting incorrect labels. Ups would be on strike if they had to do that crap with there daily route duties.. Do u load and unload at ur station?

25k is crappy but definitely capable of living comfortably if you're careful with your money. If someone can't get by on 50k then they need to reevaluate their lifestyle.
again you succeed at missing the point. Is it arrogant for the secretary to see the Fedex driver making $45,000 and think that he has it good? I think not. Seems to me that MFE would rather the secretay would empathize with him rather than the other way around.

those millions are hardly torture. If it were, companies would change their policies.
I doubt that any company gives back. Why would they? They simply wait for the screwing to become the new normal. Face it. FedEx is the new corporate America.
