[QUOTE="Guitarman01, post: 5912526, member: 90385"] I think the changes in how FedEx will calculate overtime is a much bigger deal at least for now than changes in paid minimum hours. There is obviously various ways they can manipulate this standard overtime policy to cut costs while the employees now lose thousands yearly. I say for now because with combined services, I doubt any full timer will be consistently under 40 hrs a week regardless. I also think paid minimums is more of a barometer for how many hours a person should be working for managers as opposed to expecting to be paid on a regular basis for not even working. If anyone is consistently under minimum hours obviously the higher ups are going to make sure that changes pretty quick. As far as package handlers there are various shifts at UPS where they only work a couple hours and I don't think they are guaranteed any minimums. Obviously the big difference is their part time benefits and union starting pay of 21 an hour. [/QUOTE]
