Fedex Pension question

[Cactus]

Just keep this in mind, the 8% match is not guaranteed. It might be that now to draw people out of the pension, but a few years from now "business needs" might force them to drop the match down to 5% or whatever. The pension is pretty much guaranteed, but that 8% match is not.

More like business greed.

That’s not a layoff. Keeping people employed when their job is no longer needed is pretty employee friendly. Choosing not to fill that position after they leave is a good decision.

Eh, you know how it is. There aren't any layoffs, but some people still want to complain, so they complain that not filling a vacant position is a layoff because reasons.

4. Decent affordable medical care
5. Traditional Pension Plan
6. Two-year topout
7. No layoff policy
8. Safe Driving/Roadeo

Feel free to add more because I know I've missed some.
