[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1001554, member: 12508"] A lot of lawsuits against FedEx never see the light of day because Fred has a veritable army of lawyers who will try and starve you out through changing venues, bumping cases up to higher courts, and generally stalling to make you use-up of all of your resources and go broke before the case comes to trial. Here's one for you, Dano. FedEx used to do a lot of side-loading in curtainside (ragside) CTV's. Because they were too cheap to buy and install readily available pneumatic docks, FedEx used flimsy portable plates that regularly failed and sent employees crashing 3 or 4 feet to the ground. They fought every suit, even though they were clearly at-fault. In fact, I hear they are still using the portable plates in a few locations. That's pretty dumb, but Legal apparently thinks they can weasel out of litigation. Some injured employees were hurt quite badly, and FedEx still tried to pin fault on them, even though said plates were defective, poorly-designed, and completely inadequate for the job. In principle, [I]and [B]in fact, [/B][/I]FedEx was, and is, wrong...and they still fight it. FedEx sucks, and so do their operatives. [/QUOTE]
