[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 926404, member: 12508"] Exactly. FedEx is spinning this as if everyone wins, and they don't. Very few "win", and everyone else marches backwards. Don't get me going on the market levels, because they are the second level of this scheme. Sure, it costs less to live in East Bicycle Seat, KY than it does NYC, but FedEx plays the market level game for all it's worth. You do the same job, for [I]a fraction [/I]of the money, if you live farther out. The "adjustment" is a joke. And it just isn't couriers. Even in a major market, new RTD's, ramp agents, and dispatchers have to deal with the same "low, low everyday" wages for far too many years. You never really "catch-up". If you live in a suburb of a major market area FedEx will usually downgrade that market level, even though the cost of living is essentially the same as in the "big city". It's a complete scam. Sign those cards, and keep telling people about this site. Communicating the big picture and starting to act in a coordinated effort are the keys to success. As others have also suggested, it's about time for slowdowns and sickouts to start happening. [B]Nothing [/B]is going to change until we play hardball with Smith. [/QUOTE]
