Even if this is true, Fred will take it away elsewhere...that's how it works. The recently mentioned scheme to have couriers change timecard codes when they do package handling sounds like one way. Another would be to make our insurance "benefits" even more expensive. A more likely scheme is to hire massive numbers of part-timers and cut hours.
Understand that Fred thinks we are already overpaid for what we do. If these raises are accurate figures, we are still going to be years behind where we should be.
Oh yeah I forgot to include at the bottom of what I saw...our "self-paid" insurance will increase 30% because of increased costs associated with an aging workforce...
PS: I didn't see anything, it's all a farce, we won't get anything. what FDX is working on is how to minimize costs.
They Removed DOT requirements, allowing people to expire, I'd be willing to bet that FDX will in the future reinstate DOT requirement. now those who had medical exemptions for diabetes and other ailments will no longer be able to get a DOT card because they will fail the "initial" exam.
90days of FMLA leave has been reduced to 45, those who can't become DOT elgible in 45days will lose their routes, and now be displaced, and will probably quit.
enjoy the reaming... I quit last Monday!!! brought back a truck load at 8pm
