Being reassigned........To Ground..

[MrFedEx]

Of all the strange dealings I've seen, Fred and his lackeys setting up a back door deal with big Ground contractors to "re-home" Express couriers for whatever reason does not seem far fetched at all. After all, FedEx SET UP the Ground infrastructure, which is massive. What would it take to re-home a few couriers? We all know he skirts what is considered ethical in business practice. Is it not plausible that he would skirt a contractual agreement or reword to his advantage somehow as well? Why let ethics get in the way of profit?

Fred would most certainly do this if he could, but as others have pointed-out, he'd lose his RLA security blanket. The whole Express RLA scam is predicated upon us being "airline employees", and therefore under the RLA and Fred's special "Express Carrier Exemption", which is a WTF gift from Congress if there ever was one.

Hardly a fantasy. I doubt much of it happens. You, on the other hand might want to consider the myriad of possibilities that may next be coming your way.

I think Upstate is going to get upset that you have extended your "Bromance" to Cactus and SPH. He's going to scratch your eyes out!

I don't think it's a bromance as much as it probably is this..... @TechCrunch

Don't think this isn't possible this fall.
Ground needs new workers, Express needs to get rid of them(without layoffs or buyouts)
With fedex corps history of threading legal loopholes, I can't wait to see what the higher seniority purple cool aid drinkers think when they are given this option because "their" route has been "cut".

It is nearly impossible to find qualified people to work as drivers for ground. I am not going to tell what the pay is but it isn't 2009 or 2010, the job market is producing 150,000-300,000 jobs a month and ground has just become a revolving door (both contractors and drivers). I have to say it has been what of the worst (and most expensive ) experiences of my life

What are the 150 to 300,000 jobs being created?

I can't see that happening particularly here in the NYC/New England areas. There are too many other employment options besides they would be getting effectively a 50% pay cut. Y

Every Express courier is going through the worst experience of their lives now too, we sympathize with you...

As I said before, that's always been the fact in large metro areas with high cost of living.

Oh brother. Not another right wing nut job who thinks the rich aren't rich enough.

At least us "liberals" can string together a coherent sentence.

Combining your user name and command of the English language and it makes me believe you may have gone to the same school ,or schools , as Sarah Palin.

He can be quite difficult to understand....

 

[Route 66]

He's sort of like that guy at the bar who's had like one or thirty too many and suddenly starts yelling out a bunch of incomprehensible words that all sound like they're made up entirely of consonants.

Looks like someone has slept through the past 13 years.

You may be better served selling your routes and buying yourself an attention span.

FedEx might reassign drivers as employees to ground... "operational need" and start to push contractors out... LOL

Wow, this is almost exactly what Mr. Smith says. Cut taxes, and all you get is richer people like Fred. Most major corporations are sitting on billions that they won't re-invest, OR they are doing what Smith is, which is attempting to gut the middle class by saying the "new normal" is $12-$16 per hour with no benefits, or "business will die". I guess great minds think alike. Boy, you are one smart fellow. Too bad Sarah Palin already has a husband, because you are prime material for an intellect like hers.
