[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 955397, member: 24302"] So basically FedEx didn't have it right the first time around, got spanked, then developed a new system that satisfies the courts, and appears to be now realizing the profits that they figured to obtain if they could control labor costs. And it's working so well that they are now trying to reduce the impact Express has on profits by taking away as much as possible and giving the work to Ground. Which begs the question if they shift too much too fast will there be layoffs at Express? Or will the reduction in hours due to lack of work cause enough employees to quit? Our director in a meeting last week said that our station was averaging 300 less pkgs a day compated to last year and yet they were still giving us raises because they were committed to taking care of their people. Wanted to shout out several things, from lousy raises in the last few years, giving mid-range employees smaller raises than those who already make much more, and terminating our pension plan. This is what we have to look forward to, having our work taken away then being told how generous they are to give us any raise as if we were the reason that freight went away. Which seems to be setting us up for a possible future of no raises, or layoffs, because WE are underperforming. It's all smoke and mirrors, and if you are new to the company you might as well get used to the fact that Express is no longer about just coming to work and doing your job. This dog-and-pony show will always be in the background and it's becoming more evident every day. [/QUOTE]
