Bbsam why would I do that.. Go to Express which has a hiring freeze in place to work as a part timer, So they can screw me out of benefits and screw the other couriers out of full time positions. I have heard from the Express guy that one full timer retires they replace him with 2 part timers why do they do this. To insure they arent paying for benefits and keep pay as low as possible. Like I said it is sad a billion dollar company resorts to this.
Fed Ex spent what 21 million dollars on trying to keep their special deal. Take into consideration all the sporting events and Nascar races they sponsor which cost money. Ground contractors loose their bonus when there is a complaint, get charged a fee for late pickups so tell me where does that money go ... Into Freds pocket thats where. They make being a contractor sound so good however we all know they set it up this way to make more money free and clear and screw the little guy. They have this model so you dont make money and if you do kudos to you however the average contractor has drivers who dont care so they loose some money is that fair if your suppose to be running your own business? Would Mcdonalds penalize itself for giving out a big mac instead of a quarter pounder. No they wouldnt. They make it impossible for you to run your business because they want it ran like FedEx not like Bbsams trucking. FedEx has put the cost of doing business on the backs of the contractor meanwhile they make boat loads of cash. You pay to run their business which in return they control your drivers and want it ran the FedEx way and you get screwed out of your bonuses for complaints like your drivers truck is to loud.
So bbsam where does that money go it obviously dosent guy to the guys and gals at Express. We definately know it dosent go to ground drivers. Yes Fred S made a investment in a company operation but he needs to remember who made FedEx what it is today. The hard working men and women who deliver the goods driving in a FedEx marked truck and wearing their uniform, it was not the people who sit in a air conditioned office all day trying to improve their putting game so they can leave early and go play golf at their country clubs.
Another ruling in our favor saying we are indeed employees enjoy it why you can because it will end soon enough when we get recognized as employees. Dont think for a minute that even your favorite driver wouldnt want more. It comes down to you or me I choose me for better pay for doing back breaking work that it is obvious many contractors dont recognize and reward for. This scam known as ground will end and you will have to dust off your boots and get back on the road. 267 out!!!!
