Fedex has narrowed its market levels to 5 and if you dig deeper into the differences between these so called markets, mainly the bottom 2, fedex is saving millions. Last year market level B was the lowest market at fedex and it was $1.27 less than what a market A employee was making.
Example if you were making $19 an hour in market level A you would make $17.83 if you transferred to a market level B station and vise versa if you transferred from old B to old A. Now look what happend when fedex supposedly said that market B got a market level increase. Take the $19 hr employee, fedex gave him a 3% raise and stuck him into a step and the employee who's making $17.83 also gets a 3% raise and gets placed into a step. The magic trick happens when the step system was placed at a higher pay scale to benefit Market A employees not B. The $19 employee would go to step 5 current pay base market $20.50 . The $17.83 would go to step 3 current pay base market $18.45. Thats a difference 2 step, $2.05 a hour and 2 years to supposedly top out. Congrats to those market A employees with 8 years of servive and a big friend@@@ you to the 10 year employees in market B.
Now it gets interesting where people that transfer will not gain or lose any money if they transfer between the two old markets. So that step 5 employee ( old market A ) moves to an old market B location he'd stay at step 5 and if the step 3 employee (old market B) moves to an old market A station he'd stay at step 3.
Fedex is stealing money from its own employees. Just because old market A and old market B are now the same market (base) doesnt mean the two markets are the same. Market level B is still market level B and market level A is still market A. This applies if you worked at fedex before the step program was established. If you just got hired the base market at fedex doesnt keep up with cost of living when transferring between station. Do your homework before you transfer.$40,000 in one area needs to be $45,000
in another area but Fedex doesnt agree.
