[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 724638, member: 22880"] I can just as easily come back and ask: Did FedEx state that the previous performance review based pay increase schedule will be utilized next March? The short answer is that even FedEx doesn't know what it will do for next year. The indications are that Express is looking at how high fuel prices will jump this summer, how much volume will return, how much the employees are ticked off and most importantly, is there going to be a change in Express' RLA exemption? What I do know is that FedEx knows it got away with only giving out a 2.2% pay increase in the past two years and this was AFTER having the traditional pension plan gutted a year prior to that. FedEx management is feeling pretty confident right now. Given the nature of this forum, I can't give "proof", hell none of us can give proof and still have jobs afterward (or those that give us information have their jobs afterward). You ask how are we to be compensated (wage increases) in the future? How has your wage progression been determined for the past two years? By what FedEx thought it could get away with - which they have indeed done, although at the price of ticking off many employees. I'll say this, if you're counting on getting anything above a 4% increase next year (even with a 7.0), you will be in for bad shock. The wildcard is the FAA legislation. If somehow Express does get reclassified, then you'll probably see a 10-15% wage increase, not due to the legislation, but due to Fred's desire to buy time for him to reorganize Express on his terms and keep service moving in the short term. The clock is ticking, for the employees of Express. The Democrats are going to take large losses this election cycle and the Senate will pass their own version of the FAA legislation. If the legislation moves to conference after the election in January, FORGET about Express' RLA classification being pulled and Fred will have won. There are but a few short months left to win this battle. Once the campaign season gets off to full swing, nothing of consequence will move. Look at my past posts regarding how the health legislation crowded out everything else (going back to September). I do know what I'm writing about. [/QUOTE]
