[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 861499, member: 24302"] Per buyout anyone know that if FedEx lays off a number of people to trim Express would they be responsible for paying unemployment of those people? The reason I mentioned a buyout is that if they are responsible for unemployment they may get around that by offering a buyout. Unemployment is up to 99 weeks now, a lump sum might cost them considerably less. At any rate right now I'm wondering what kind of time frame we're looking at? There's indicators that something is near, but have they got everything in place? 3 months? A year? And for routes like mine what are they going to do with extended areas? Take away P-2 and I still cover alot of territory. I'll certainly get less hrs but will they try to work it to still get us at least 35 hrs? Some couriers drive almost 2 hrs to get to their first stop. Currently get 42-44 most weeks. With the economy being what it is about all we can do is stand there like a deer in the headlights and wait to get runover. You must be right about wanting mostly part-timers but how do they think in the meantime all this is going to affect people who've worked faithfully for them through thick and thin and only get 35 hrs a week? Are they really that uncaring? [/QUOTE]
