Any word on alternative or transfer employment, severance pay or extended healthcare benefits? Fortunately for them they were aware that big changes were in the works and had a few months to prepare .

Purge has begun it will be swift and brutal , Freddy and Raj selling their stock and taking their cash. If you have stock follow their lead the decline will be rapid.

1 week for every year of service, up to 36 weeks, up to $10 more per hour if you stay until they close!

Ground service is what the garbage citizens of Florida deserve.
I don't know about that but I think is clear is that the difference between UPS and FDX will be at it's widest point ever. UPS will be the premier first class carrier and more than likely the preferred carrier choice while FDX becomes the discount carrier for the more price sensitive shipper who is willing to take the risk of putting it on FDX and just pray to god that it gets there without honking off their customer by using a discount carrier.

Seriously, when you look at the history of service failures, the catastrophic volume spikes, the wrecks, the egregious incidents surrounding Ground and you want to hand off the jewel of your entire company to FDX Ground? It's not a consolidation....it's a capitulation.

This is what you get with DeathSantis and piss poor labor laws.
Looks like they're being given the same options a ups union employee would be offered when a building closes. Not sure why you have a hard on for ron desantis. Strange.

First one of these closures that stipulated to be on call for an extra month and to receive the severance one would have to wait until every position is filled. That would not fly in CA or a pro labor state.

I have a union contract and zero severance is required if you decline to take another position, so I don't think you know what you're talking about.

They aren't offering severance out of the goodness of their heart. If they didn't they would have an empty building the next day.
New and better job offers won't stay open for long leaving many to have to choose between staying for the severance and forfeiting the new job offer or forget about the severance and get the hell out of FDX. If left to choose between half a years income by staying at FDX and the 20 years you would need to get to full retirement and that new job offer has a chance to get you there the choice then becomes pretty clear.

This is the new FDX. You'll be expected to drop everything and come running when the want you then booted back out into the economy to figure out for yourself how to survive..... until they call you up again.
