Our Senior Manager said 3% raise for everyone October 1

[Operational needs]

Non-union yes. Drivers pension is held by the IBT locals.

Non-union and inside PTers (package handlers and loaders).

This is the part that really makes me roll my eyes.....


Asked in July if the company has provided additional pay for employees performing frontline work amid the pandemic, FedEx said in a statement that it evaluates “our pay policies to ensure we remain competitive with others in our industry under all circumstances, including those we are facing now.”

Excluding your buddy on Longboat Keys bonus for his meritorious service during this china pandemic?

 

[floridays]

70 employees. Impressive.

or should I say, 70 employees my ass.

 

[floridays]

Not quite, there are more costs that come with raises beyond the employee portion. It’s why Van’s suggestion is so stupid.

Try the bonus route.

 

[floridays]

Only a few guys opt out of insurance. It costs them $30-50/week, deductible is either $6k or $2k depending on the plan they choose. You guys complain about things you don’t have any knowledge or understanding of, it’s very strange.

I gotta call bs on that one. You offer better insurance for a cheaper price than Express? Post your plans.

 

[59 Dano]

FedEx does it all the time. That's why we don't have Amazon on our trucks now.

We don't have Amazon because the deal Amazon wanted with Express was horrible. The door is always open if the price is right.

 

[59 Dano]

Then shouldn't the corollary hold true?

No.

 

[59 Dano]

its definitely a loophole. There’s no reason for a FedEx Courier to be under the RLA and a UPS driver be under the NLRA. Both out on the road doing the exact same job. It’s a loophole. FedEx Express is an airline but the drivers are not airport employees.

You don't know WTF you're talking about. The RLA covers employees of airlines, which Express couriers are, and doesn't require that they be "airport employees."

They’re truck drivers.

Oh? OK then. They're still covered by the RLA because this imaginary "truck drivers that aren't airport employees" division works exclusively for the benefit of an RLA carrier and provides services essential to that carrier's operation.

You people need to get off that short bus that carries you to the school of "The RLA only applies to those airline employees who are directly involved with flight operations and isn't supposed to cover any truck drivers." You don't know what you're talking about.

 

[59 Dano]

That entry level job at FedEx isn't some guy sweeping up after everyone has gone home.

It's still entry level.

UPS airlines employees are covered under the RLA while the package division is not. This is exactly how it should be done at FedEx.

 

[59 Dano]

You say plenty of stupid things but that’s up there. That would bankrupt my company and no one would have jobs. You shouldn’t talk about corporate finances if this is your level of understanding.

He pissed away over $100,000 he made from playing Mr. Commodity Trader, the man knows a thing or two about money!

 

[59 Dano]

Yeah, I think you should set an example because you more than anyone have been pushing Socialism over on Current Events. Let's see you redistribute some wealth comrade.

He already provides jobs and incomes to people. What have you done to better the plight of the working man?

 

[59 Dano]

UPS airlines employees are covered under the RLA while the package division is not. This is exactly how it should be done at FedEx.

UPS airlines employees are employed by UPS Co, which was founded in 1988 and structured as an airline to be governed by the RLA. Those in the package "division" work for a different company, UPS Inc. All FedEx Express employees work for an airline.

Just as FedEx Express is under FedEx Corp. Same difference.

Which without your job isn't possible.

Left the nest of snakes so another could take my place and get screwed. Shame on me.

Says the guy who once told me mutual funds buy stocks and hold them for appreciation. Must have read that in Money Magazine.

And Fred bribed a bunch of Congressmen, oops, excuse me, contributed to their campaigns, to keep the RLA designation in place. So the RLA isn't set in stone, that designation can be changed if Congress so chooses. But not if enough money is flowing their way.

Like in 2021??!

Didn't happen in 2010, doubt it'll happen in 2021.
