[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4362479, member: 58386"] Oh, so you want government to make it all right and give you a clear conscience? Not going to happen . You chose to get into this. For years Fat Freddy did a good job of covering up the dirty little secret called Fedex Ground. Trucks all looked the same and guys in them wore the same looking uniforms conveying to the public the lie that everyone was a company employee driving a company owned truck. While eventually they had to give in and allow a disclaimer to be posted but they decided it's dimensions what it would say and where it would be posted which happened to be the place that got covered with the most dirt and mud. The good point about Friday's announcement is that the media is picking up on it and soon they will find out the unpleasant motives behind it. Fedex Express employees earning good wages and a company funded pension disability and healthcare plan are going to be systematically eliminated replaced by contractor employed drivers earning half the wages and either they ask their spouses employer to pay the health insurance premiums in order that they can have coverage or they have to go into the exchanges and try to get some coverage with publicly subsidized premiums and if they are lucky enough to be living in a participating state perhaps the expanded Medicaid program. And when they are so beat up that they can't keep up they are simply handed off to another employer with the expectation that he will accept the growing health risks and give the guy a job.....Very few will do that. So now what's the guy left with? Apply for SSD . That's going to be about it. Ever bother to read the Social Security "Blue Book" If so you would plainly see why 74% of all first time SSD claims are denied you've got a 1 in 10 chance of being granted a reconsideration and even if you granted a hearing by an administrative law judge the average waiting time is 21 months. This is what's coming and what many will have to look forward to.......basically nothing. [/QUOTE]
