FedEx going hard for UPS shippers

[BigUnionGuy]

Lol Sean has set himself up for a lot of upset people.

If the company had utilized the 22.4 position the way it was intended, there would be a lot less upset people.

But.... leave it to the company to bastardize the position. There shouldn't be 2-tier pkg drivers.

What are you willing to give up?

Vending machines in the break room's ?

Somedays Feeder Drivers almost revolt, when the honey buns are not restocked. Lots of portly pissed off feeder drivers waddling out of the break room.

Keep your day job. You would starve as a comedy writer.

Keep your day job. You would starve as a comedy writer.

Keep your part time day job, as a full-time employee you would crawl into a ball in the back of your truck.

12+hours Friday.

12+hours Friday.

Sounds easy, one day a week. On A route that you have no standards to meet.

I guess you missed the irony of "what are you willing to give up" ??

Easiest job I have ever had. Hang in there. Maybe someday you can be in my position.

Yeah, I think I’ll pass. allowing the company to violate contractual language and use me and give me half the pension while I complain about others, making less would make me feel like less of a man.

You stopped accruing PT pension benefits.... years ago.

So now (and for a long time) it's all about you.

Proof reading and punctuations would help you be better understood.

It's my retirement job.

Don’t worry, anyone with half a brain understand.

It's my retirement job.

What was it the other 30 years?

 

[BigUnionGuy]

It's my retirement job.

Please tell me.... you aren't one of those ?

The retired drivers that come back and work peak ?

Fed ex started targeting our small to mid level pick ups long before the strike talk. I feel like it started around the time they announced they we cutting ties with Amazon. They got a lot of them. I hate losing those customers. Ups offers discounts to larger shippers but never does anything to throw these customers a bone. Despite the fact that it’s a higher margin product. Every time they add gas surcharges etc, they never go away even when prices go back down. Etc. Let’s squeeze more out of the larger shippers and work retaining these customers.

You do realize the small and medium (SME) customers are exactly who UPS is pursuing and they are cutting ties with large accounts that are marginally profitable.

Based on the last earnings call, UPS is being very successful at winning SME customers through the digital access program that targets small accounts with aggressive incentives. The digital program generated >$2.3B in revenue in 2022; expect to generate ~$3B in 2023 so it seems to be doing OK. FedEx does not have an equivalent program and is losing small customers to UPS.
