Ground taking over

[Lates]

Idk I'm kind of thinking not. I assume things will go by seniority if it came to any layoffs.

It is by seniority but if your station switched to ground you would have to hope you have enough seniority to make the cut, transfer, or apply to work for a ground contractor.

Name a third world country that developed wealth on their own?

Their wealth was stolen.

It’s only wealth if you do something with it.

At that point I would take the layoff, who wants to work for ground

Seniority definitely counts, unless a manager or the senior manager want something else.

Out of nowhere part timers are going on road again at my station, I wonder if it's because of fear of UPS strike in 2 weeks?

I wouldn't exactly call that an apples to apples comparison.

Two guys working side by side, doing the same job and one makes $480 more each week, before OT. How much of a pay disparity is required for it to be an apples to apples comparison?

Speaking of legacy Fred's made his money. His legacy is FedEx. I'm thinking a man like that isn't about to sell out before he takes the long dirt nap. In his later years his legacy is probably More important than anything to him. I could equate it to a sports team and im guessing he's willing to throw money at the problem to go out on top. I think you'll all be surprised.

Fred turned the reigns over to Raj, knowing what was to come. Appreciate the sports analogy, but no.

Lol It really needs further explanation? If you can't figure it out I guess I can't.

Fred is executive chairman of FedEx. He hasn't exactly left, just a little bit less of the grind I imagine that comes with being CEO. Do you think Jeff Bezos isnt running Amazon anymore? He has the same exact title.

The combination of shares he holds and those of his holding company make Fat Freddy/Prime Weasel the company's largest shareholder.

Wrong

 

[bacha29]

Wrong

According to Marketscreener.com Frederick Smith and Frederick Smith Enterprises own 7.76% of all shares. That's makes him the largest assuming all of his shares are voting shares. If so it would be a slightly larger number that what The Vanguard Group holds.

Now show me what you've got.

Ground drivers are stupid to work for idiots that don’t have to pay them a decent wage.

And now burdened down with air box on top of what could be a mass exodus of contractor employed drivers who simply refuse to continue to accept a pay disparity that now gets even bigger.

Meanwhile, we have guys at my station who won't sign a union card because "we don't need a union."

In 5 years UPS drivers will be making almost $50 an hour and our top out will still be in the low 30s.
