[QUOTE="Bailey4, post: 1101675, member: 36374"] Although I am not the most senior of our employees, I have over 10 years and would gladly sign up for a union. In the mean time, I would recommend slowing yourselves down. I do not think that the shift premiums were removed for only cost cutting advantages. Nor do I believe that the focus on limiting stand alones during the P1 cycle are just to move the customer towards purchasing p! service. Nor do I believe "Roads" is just to make it easier for you or someone else to do your route. Nor do I believe that the focus to cut regulars that do not ship at least 3 times a week ...every week...off the PM pick up routes is just keep those routes moving. These items....I think.....are preparation for what will be our goodbye. I believe they are to pave the way for the service structure changes. The letter Fedex released concerning our delayed raises specifically stated that pick up/delivery routes had been combined where ever possible. I think the items I listed above are to make even more route consolidation possible. I think a lot more routes will be combined, split and eliminated. I think those routes will have some really bad hours. The elimination of all the split shift pay was just to pave the way for these changes. Anybody on the normal day shift can begin to say goodbye to getting home during daylight. I think moving forward they will use "Roads" to help enable them to just drop pick ups in on the fly when a courier is in the area.... I think that is why they are actively looking for ways to cut out regular pick ups whenever possible and rearrange routes...to give them more flexibility to create these crappy routes. I think Pick up, part time and some full time drivers will become displaced at the onset. Moving farther forward they will keep using these systems to cut us while they continue to shift our volume over to ground where possible. So then .....full time routes will drop out and part timers back in.....presto low paid part time work force. No pesky full timers or part timers with higher pay and very few full timers. It looks like Fedex are just rolling it out slowly to eliminate as many bumps as possible and keep us on board until it is most advantageous to them to shove us off. So I for one am slowing down....down. and more down. I think they are using this information in the planning of our new future consolidated crappy route choices and ultimate demise. Full timers and part timers slow down cause your helping lead yourselves to slaughter. I dont know about us being a threat to UPS. It seems to me that if FedEx ground were able to build more ground volume by taking UPS business that Fedex would be pursuing that without fail.
