[QUOTE="AlwaysChafed, post: 1191825, member: 47716"] They have a pension, no raises in four years, however, half the work and half the pay. They start or started at $16.10 a few years ago. FedEx Express employees don't have it as bad as everyone thinks. If you are waiting ten years to bid on a route, within 1-3 months you'd be driving at Express. Management is much more professional. FedEx Express also gets to transfer to wherever station they want in the U.S. as long as there is an opening and your contract/term is fulfilled. 75% off shipping, $75-100 round trip tickets (on standby). And $300 international. So yes, while a UPS Driver makes $32.XX, no out of pocket, etc. All that stuff will slowly go away and it is. In ten years at $16.10 you're way ahead of the game. Like I said UPS is slowly fading out bennies. FedEx Ground workers are the ones getting dogged, Express is totally different. It depends on what the person wants. FedEx Express - less stress/quicker turnaround/some options/breathing room UPS - more money/potential to wait forever/locked into your location/always feel like you're in trouble UPS bennies look great on paper, but are you sure you won't being paying $1000 a month for healthcare when you retire? Is that pension fund going to be there in 20 years? That $3500 a month retirement sounds great, not so great at $2500, and worse at $0. These are all questions that should be asked. We don't even know what TC is... [/QUOTE]
