Any other contractors being forced to work on Labor Day? FedEx told them it was mandatory and if they don’t send trucks out, their contracts would be pulled. Just wondering if this a local thing or nation wide.
Why do you seem surprised? That so called "contract" isn't worth the paper it's written on because there isn't a single term or condition set forth in that contract that's binding upon Fat Freddy. And the reason it's not binding is because there's no governing legal authority in place with the power to make it binding.Any other contractors being forced to work on Labor Day?

So if say several contractors refuse, their contracts are pulled, so how's Fat Freddy gonna find new contractors fast to replace them? Or are all the terminated contractor's packages just going to sit there in the warehouse and rot?Any other contractors being forced to work on Labor Day?

Contracts won’t be pulled automatically. It would depend how much notice was given to even issue an opportunity to cure letter. Getting a letter just means the contractor loses exclusive rights to negotiate. There were plenty of contractors that got letters for not running on Easter. Labor Day is specifically mentioned in the contract as an excluded day so I don’t think anything will happen for the contractors that were just told this week. If they’re smart they’d have a handful of guys show up and do what they can. Pretending to care goes a long way.Yesterday they all refused, today they threatened them. I know I’m not going in. Our station is so screwed up right now and behind that’s why they threatened them to try to get contractors to bail them out again. It’s a joke

Thanks for the input. I have no memory of anything you’ve posted beyond your attacks against me. Not sure why you’re so obsessed. It’s creepy at this point. So thirsty.lol
You never fail to amuse me
It’s not going to be limited to Ground.Peak will be a Fedex ground disaster.
You maybe rightIt’s not going to be limited to Ground.
Which will spill into Express. Some of the routes around more opulent parts of Annapolis had almost 500 stops last peak season. I wouldn’t be surprised if those routes breach 4 digit stop counts by the middle of December.Peak will be a Fedex ground disaster.
Find new contractors? I think the plan is to go to Lowe’s, buy a tarp, and get the camera rolling to film a new Front Line video to show everyone how great things are.So if say several contractors refuse, their contracts are pulled, so how's Fat Freddy gonna find new contractors fast to replace them?

Threatened them with what? It’s kind of hard to act like you wield leverage when you’re begging people to tell their friends to apply for jobs.Yesterday they all refused, today they threatened them.

They've got these mercenary contractors out there. They're like locusts. They travel all over the country setting up shop in contractor defaulted or terminated areas and run boxes at highly inflated rates until Fat Freddy finds some other unsuspecting slug with visions of sugar plums dancing in his head looking for the opportunity to "own his own business" (lol).So if say several contractors refuse, their contracts are pulled, so how's Fat Freddy gonna find new contractors fast to replace them?

They're too cheap to go to Lowe's. They'd first go to Ollie's Bargain Outlet and buy all the traps they have followed by Trader Joe's and then Surplus City .Find new contractors?

There’s many contractors that don’t offer holiday pay so I imagine there are many drivers happy to work.If only EVERY driver refused to work that day. We all need a unon.
