He needs to redo his math then, b/c Van is right....if he was at top of range before, he couldn't have gotten more than 3%. And no, you can't go above top of range....the top of the range just moves to the new max with the 3% increase.
Here's the basic deal, which is that the only real reason for multiple pay scales is to save FedEx huge money. The honcho who invented this scam has probably been promoted to the very top of the Memphis pyramid. If you want to really be pissed, know that FedEx Freight doesn't have the same type of multiple pay scales or extended topout times. Why? Because they are under the NLRA, and Fred knows he can't jack them around the same way he does Express employees.
Try finding-out how much Freight drivers start at, and how quickly they reach top wage. The only way to find out is to ask a Freight driver on the dock.
