The model should work as well as socialism does.

There is no trickle down theory.

Let’s hope ups and the union will have a trickle down effect for FedEx employees.

Good luck with that

Good luck with that

Agree. The other trickle down hasn’t been working since the 80’s. We gotta try something different

I disagree. Been happening to me at public urinals for a couple years now.

You have a union or are organized you get paid if not than prepare to take it in the rear. Fred has reduced benefits and made up false pay raises for years like the step process. Finally he said ditch the whole system and give it to the contractors and pressure them to make it work. They are going to do it, whether it works or not is another story.

Good luck with that

At least at my station they are all about licking and sucking fdx teet, mass majority is against union.

Idiots, I tell you.

Funny that those Express employees at consolidated stations aren't flooding this board, FB, or any other forums with horror stories of absolute failure.

How many people who said for years that combining Express and Ground was the smart move are also the ones saying it can't possibly work?

They are using other sites like reddit and facebook fedex page....

That's a list of stations. I was asking where consolidation has resulted in the predicted spectacular failure.

 

[Fedexcellent]

Still seems like many of the targeted stations have been in smaller populated cities and areas, with perhaps the exception of Jackson, Mississippi. But that location had been a VERY difficult station for quite awhile and had some other dynamics that didn't work in their favor. I don't think they were targeted, necessarily, but they didn't do themselves any favors.... especially when they were within a few hours trucking distance from Memphis and in a declining region.

I still believe this will truly be a hybrid model, as the company has said. I don't believe all areas and stations will see stations close and freight all moved to ground. I think the company will do it where it makes sense. My personal hope is that the bigger metropolitan areas, especially the ones that are growing rapidly, are not affected.

Easy to assume if you just read the conspiracy theories that FedEx is trying to eliminate the Express employees entirely, but I'm not seeing that to be true. The company even said they plan on reducing their station count by 100 stations in the United States by 2027. That doesn't sound to me like they are planning on merging every Express station into ground and laying off 90% of the employees.

Most of them are just beginning their merge. Give it some time by peak we'll be hearing plenty about failures.

Just like last year when the networks collapsed, as predicted!

Looks like Colorado Springs is the latest to fall

The funny thing about this merge is FedEx thinks express drivers are going to go to ground if merged. That’s not happening , Express won’t work for ground

The funny thing about your post is that FedEx thinks no such thing, nor does it care.
