[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1850597, member: 12508"] At UPS, it's based on the Master Agreement. At FedEx, it's based on what they can get away with for as long as they can do it. That station I mentioned in my first post just cleaned house with managers. Called them in, and told them to downgrade or move on. The biggest issue? Massive turnover. In other words, they blamed the local management for a systemic problem. Memphis is just now starting to realize just how screwed-up and non-competitive it's compensation package is. Now that word is out that FedEx is a lousy employer, they'll have even more problems attracting talent. As always, anything you get will be accompanied with either higher expectations, or takeaways somewhere else...probably both. The couriers at the "sandwich" station I used as a example have been complaining for about 20 years, and with good reason. Home prices have always been at the same level as the surrounding higher level stations. The cost of living BS didn't pencil out, but they kept the low wage market level. They're all crowing about their 10% plus upcoming raise, but don't realize they'll lose it all with takeaways down the line. That's how FedEx works. [/QUOTE]
