It’s a bit strange. Announcing a law suit and pulling contracts in the same day.

They probably know their lawsuit has no standing and they're trying to make an example of him to the rest of you guys.

Here comes the end of contractors and making the UPS model. All employees and 1 truck in one area. It makes the most business sense
It will be fine

It’s a great way to make sure they get minimum effort for peak. Shippers must be fleeing.
They should be.
Make it work? Lol. No. Just got weaker.

So do you think contractors will rally around Spencer and park their trucks in protest? Maybe move Purple Friday up to next week?
They should. FedEx contractors are already about to go out of business. Might as well go all in on the fight.
No. I don’t think anyone is going to run off to help cover the routes and the ones going broke just lost any hope that things would get better.
I would predict massive amounts or passive aggressiveness.

This feels like it’s going to be a huge change in the company. No raise leak rumors , suing contractors , putting express in ground hubs , e-star , new CEO. Something big is going to happen

If they don't, it further proves management are idiots.
If they do, then contingency teams are enabling FedEx to regard it's contractors with contempt.
Under these circumstances, contingency teams should be considered as scabs.

Of course they don't. Not in this labor market. But this is a classic FedEx move. Bite their nose to spite their face. FedEx is like a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cutoff trying to put fires out at both Express and Ground. It's entertaining to say the least.

Right now they absolutely are considered scabs. Many contractors that have done contingency in the past, myself included, won’t go near it right now.

Where was it seen that the routes were pulled?

Spencer posted it. I’ll see if I can find his press release.

Either way, it's already rough out there and fedex just threw 200+ open routes into the fire. Sounds like a solid idea. I would assume it might scare some people to back down but it might be something someone else could use to get out also.
