[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 543034, member: 22880"] I heard news to the same effect. Supposedly there was going to be a 1% pay raise for all hourly employees announced in the next week or so (been in planning stages since the pay raise was suspended in March). They're going to up it to 2%. Haven't heard about restoring the 401k matching funds. They'd have to do that to ALL employees (salaried and wage), or they'd have a riot among the salaried force in Memphis. It would be a "bone" from Fred and nothing more. There is supposed to be some sort of meeting that Senior managers are going to have at their locations sometime this month, where they'll do a dog and pony show to try to gin up some loyalty for FedEx and try to convince/con the employees to not sign union cards if the RLA exemption gets pulled. Assuming there was a conference call among AGFS (Air-Ground Freight System for the UPS folks), I didn't hear about a call among DGO (Domestic Ground Operations) managers; this tells me FedEx is scared, and their efforts to lobby the Senate aren't getting the results they are wanting. It has been awhile since I've been in the AGFS environment, but I know it has gotten even worse since I was there. Looks like FedEx has blinked first. Trick is to keep them on the defensive and blinking until a contract is in force. The fight is starting to shape up ("choosing the battlefield" as is said in the military). [/QUOTE]
