Why would they bother giving ground raises? The whole ideal of ground is a employee willing to work for little play, long hours, no health insurance etc... Compensating Ground for the hard work they do is counter intuitive.
Because even FedEx is subject to inflation pressures. If prices continue to go up, and other companies are raising pay to keep workers, FedEx will have to follow suit. Sure they try to hold pay down, but even they have to face certain realities.
FedEx already has shown it could care less what other companies are paying. They raise there rates to keep up with inflation every year and have decided they can at will take from its workers to improve their margins. There is nothing to suggest this way of doing business is going to change. The only reality they will face is if we are able to organize.
