Ground taking over

[MAKAVELI]

It wasn't my idea, it's what they said. Though I never claimed they said anything about cutting pay and bennies.

Regardless, I guess it was a mere coincidence that all this started after Fred left.

Network 2.0 and DRIVE haven't been fully implemented yet. That cliff is getting closer and once they jump off, there ain't no coming back.

They have the DOT# that contractors operate under. A true independent contractor would have their own DOT#.

LOL, who owns and operates the truck?

"A true independent contractor," LOL. This is how the court system said it should be done for this to be a legitimate contractor model. Maybe you missed the lawsuits; they were only discussed ad nauseam here.

You're conflating two different issues. One being the contractor model and one the RLA status. They aren't one in the same.

I'm not conflating anything. Express has RLA status, and some of its freight will be delivered by third party contractors. The latter has no bearing on the former, not matter what the board's prime mental patient says.

Dano has no clue what’s happening he retired and is obviously around Nashville by his radio station choice. I do not think the seniors or directors even feel safe in our area everyone is scrambling to save themselves. Everyone thought we would be losing rural areas but it’s the opposite giving up the main city we service which takes more than half our stops. It’s just going to continue into larger markets. Once UPS contract is done they will shift focus to trying to level the field with fedex.

Ground is not a Third Party contractor. As always, you rely on the past, not the present, and the present is quite different. Let's see how crazy I am when this BS gets slapped down hard.

 

[Fred's Myth]

There are some jobs that will be cut with redeployment, and some that will just be cut with severance.

Including DGO managers…..

Dano seems kind of worried, eh? He's trying extra hard to pretend that nothing has changed and that old rulings will still save the day. I don't think so.

 

[AB831]

I siad THE SIDE that said those things.

I think you have the right wing media confused with the left wing media.

No, I don’t.

All you do is say it's wrong over and over. No evidence. No legal precedence. Nothing.

 

[59 Dano]

Most likely. What of it?

 

[59 Dano]

No, I don’t.

OK.

Good lord.

It was posited months ago upon the initial announcement of Network 2.0 that it certain markets could just as easily lose dense city Express volume as they could lose rural Express volume - it all depends on the logistics of that market. That doesn't stop people from pulling ideas out of their butts, preaching it as gospel, and it being wrong.

And to correct another of your errors, I'm not retired and I'm obviously around Nashville because I've said so here a million times that I live here and work from home most of the time.

Ground taking over is based on are there enough Ground drivers in the area. Being this is near Nashville than there has to be enough because that’s the home base of Patton and Route Consultant if you can’t make it there you can’t make it anywhere.

Fedexcellent is one.

Sorry assumed someone who would defend the company so vigorously would probably already be drawing a pension. Not too many people working for them now would be so passionate to defend them. I think it will come to Nashville the directors answer or reluctance to answer about it being done there kind of gives it away. Also the dishonesty behind it all we knew there was a new ground building we could all see it had an express sign on it as well but they spent a year telling us we weren’t moving and knew nothing of us moving or merging.

All of the lawsuits were based on a business operation model that no longer exists. Ground is now delivering Express, a fundamental change. You can try to finesse it all day long but Ground can no longer be classified as “independent “, or third party because it is neither. Controlled, managed, and financially bound to FDX, the parent systems integrator.

You are so full of it. 2010 is not 2023, and any decisions made then we’re based on fun different circumstances. And you know it.

 

[MrFedEx]

Fundamentally different circumstances. I can’t edit the original post.

 

[Fedexcellent]

Fedexcellent is one.

Isn't everyone?

Update on this senior told us today that the people displaced at our station will have a job at BNA if we want it. I’ll probably go just to stay employed while I look for something else.
