[QUOTE="ex2fedex, post: 1685435, member: 58849"] What's missing from the story is the buildings senior manager has a personality disorder. I've heard this happens 10% of the time when you lose exclusivity and other people can put in for your area, but I know this senior manager, and I was pretty much expecting it from him. I went through the whole negotiations process and he told me he was going with the other business the day before my contract end date. The new business owners have thick pockets in the millions, so I don't know if money was exchanged. I can't rule that out. Supposedly they had a better looking RFI which is curious because they got a contract without having any drivers. Including myself I had 7 people and 7 trucks. Six weeks after this happened this other business who they gave three weeks to get going has their manager who doesn't always drive because he has to spend time recruiting, and two of my old drivers. So the only people they have picked up are people they put out of work, and they pay them less. The building has been running 8 or more temp routes for the last six weeks. All that and I'm 99% sure FedEx gave this new business MY employees personal information to help them out finding people, which violates section 10 of my agreement titled "Confidential Information". I'm investigating this because I had the phone number of their manager that called my driver. When I talked to him I asked him who gave him the phone number and he told me that Contractor Relations called him and said not to tell me anything. This violates another section of my agreement. [B] 18.4 Duty to Cooperate. [/B]Each Party will cooperate in good faith with the other Party in conducting investigations internal to their respective business operations, securing and giving evidence, responding to discovery, attending hearings and trials, and obtaining the attendance of witnesses at hearings, trials and meetings, and otherwise will cooperate in such matters. This is the same department that two weeks earlier told me they have a no retaliation policy and they're telling this guy to shut up and he's not even a FedEx employee. I later texted him and told him he could tell me who gave him the number or I could send a subpoena to his home address. He was a little surprised I knew where he lived because I had only had his first name, and he called his local police on me who I had a pleasant conversation with.
