[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 4665386, member: 12508"] I'm going to make a few posts before I disappear again, but I have to say something about FedEx "insurance", which is horrible, an insult to employees, and a "benefit" mostly in the arena of catastrophic coverage. I'll use my friend Ken again as an example. He drives for a unionized Fortune 50 company with a trucking component. It's a pretty specialized job. He is married, with 3 kids, and for the YEAR, his family deductible is $300. He pays zero premiums because his union contract provides him with a lump sum check the first pay period of every new year that covers every penny of the premiums. Ken had his knee replaced 2 years ago, and his entire out of pocket was approximately $500. About 5 years ago, he had an inner ear operation with a similar out of pocket total. There are no referrals needed to specialists, and there are no weak areas of coverage except Vision, which is similar to FedEx crap coverage. So, FedEx screws you on your wages, top-out times, and especially, insurance. If Trump and the GOP get the boot, which seems likely, 2021 will be the year Express employees need to organize. You have the leverage, and probably will have a politically favorable playing field. [/QUOTE]
