[QUOTE="FedEx courier, post: 672731, member: 23267"] I have to acknowledge that you seem to respect differing opinions. I am really just stating what I have seen first hand. It is difficult for me to see how punishing an employee for something they aren't physically able to do because of their age isn't discrimination. I am not alone in this, as I said before go to google and type in fedex age discrimination in the search engine and see how many lawsuits there are. You have continuously pointed out that I make assumptions about things going on across FedEx. Aren't you doing the same thing when you say that FedEx makes the requirements the same for everyone. You seem to have acknowledged before that some managers have a tendency to abuse situations like this. So I can only assume that what you mean is FedEx does not literally condone age discrimination but leaves such determinations up to local management. If company policy dictates that managerial decisions are up to individual operations, then if such discrimination occurs it would in fact be company policy. I have to disagree with your statements about why FedEx wants to keep it's RLA status. It is obvious they don't want to have to provide benefits and a grievance process similar to that in a Union environment. I think FedEx knows it would spread like a virus and wouldn't be just a couple of stations. Managers would go from judge juror and executioners to actually having to abide by a set of rules. [/QUOTE]
