Contract rumor.

Fedex Ground already provides their employees with healthcare insurance. Contractors will be required to do nothing.

For now anyways....... Obamacare is far from being fully understood or free from tweaking.

Absolutely. But in the present, the Smurf is simply making false proclamations.

How many routes do you own? If you don't mind me asking.

9

AWESOME! Congrats. Still love seeing entrepreneurs succeed not because of the government, but despite the government.

How the heck does that apply to BB's situation.

I asked how many routes he owns. He replied 9. I congratulated the lad for being a successful entrepreneur. It was a tad off topic, but didn't feel like going threw the PM motions for a simple question and a nod of acknowledgement.

I was just confused by your "government" quote.
No biggie

Than you sir. I would like to say it was all planned, but my UPS career ended ignominiously with a nasty crack addiction. Hardly planned.

Oh, yea, that was a dig at the government. They want, possibly need, a large percentage of citizens to be reliant on them.

Talk about picking yourself back up. Nice job!

Grace...and a government that picked up the cost of a treatment center that I could never have afforded...oops.

"Will" = future tense

 

[bbsam]

"Will" = future tense

"May" is probably more appropriate.

Government gets the glory while the tax payers get the bill. Congratulations though. Happy for your 2nd chance at life.

Only if by miracle it gets repealed. A little late for that I'm afraid. So "will" works just fine.

FedEx Ground has more than 50 employees that are not subcontractors so yes Obamacare will affect employees at FedEx ground. The individual mandate will force will FedEx Ground contractors to either purchas health insurance or pay the fine. Thats how Democrats help working class uninsured Americans.

This is untrue. The average contractor has 3-4 employees. The only true Ground employees work in the hub.

You guys really seem to be struggling with this one. It's not really all that difficult. FedEx Ground has employees that arent contractors & aren't hired by contractors. It would include managment, customer service techs, sales people, etc. Pretty sure FedEx Ground has more that 50 non-driving, non-contracor employees. Geeez....

And you've been told time and time again they already have coverage.

Thank you. Actually, without getting all religious about it, it (including the government) all proved to be a "God thing". Mostly I was in the right place at the right time and with a combination of desperation and "nothing left to lose", stepped up to the challenges along the way. It has been great though.
