I have been at Fed Ex for 12 years. I only make $19 per hour. You do not reach top pay for a long time if you are lucky perhaps maybe closer to 20 years or so.

Air driver top pay as of Aug 1st is around $23.69/hr and takes two (2) years of progression. That is for full-time air drivers, either inside-outside combo or FT 8 hour air drivers.

Part-time air driver (3+ hour) is $21.69/hr and also takes (2) years of wage progression.

Keep in mind FT air drivers pay far less out of pocket, as described above, for health/dental etc. Only the union dues which avg 60-80/mo for full-time and 40-50/mo part-time.

argh too late

As long as they say they are happy, why should it matter?

That would be a lie. Most are quite unhappy, despite what the "Maury Lane Show" says.

If FedEx employees were happy then FedEx wouldn't be fighting the the RLA classification change to the NLRA jurisdiction for Express employees. It will always be that simple. There would be no reason whatsoever for them to fight it because they know their employees would not seek union representation.This is obviously not the case and the execs at FedEx know this. If there was anyway that they could back up what they said besides some survey that would be it.It is obvious that they can't and they know that segments of FedEx would become unionized if this classification changed very quickly.


The FedEx circular logic becomes more comical as time goes by because of this simple point of deductive reasoning.If FedEx follows through and starts putting "brownbailout" commercials on television and attracts enough attention it seems the circular logic that eats it's own tail will eat that tail in the public's eye it confronted by opposition. The only thing that FedEx has going for it in this campaign is misinforming people about it and people not really knowing what is going on. Some people are just hearing the word "bailout" and going against this by that words association. If the truth comes to light and FedEx's anti-union campaign is exposed and proven not to be a "bailout" in any sense then this misinformation campaign will ultimately hurt FedEx.
