The extremely Reverend Matt Thornton claims his "Tuesday Initiative" has saved FedEx Express over 22 million dollars since it's implementation. What he's not saying is that most of that money came directly from reduced earnings on the part of hourly employees. All of those unfortunates who were forced to go Tues-Sat not only got to work their weekends, but also saw their hours cut because Saturdays only require a handful of drivers for pickups. What he's also not saying is how pissed-off customers are, how unhappy employees are, and how much extra it costs to double-handle all the Tuesday freight that gets rolled-over.For most stations,Tuesday split-shifts are also a thing of the past. Taking those factors into account, the real savings are much less and he's full of BS just like always. Thanks for screwing us in the butt again Matt!!!
