I totally agree with that.......

His paycheck comes from a contractor, which is how Fred gets around paying a decent wage or providing benfits. But Fred controls him like an employee, with TM's that are employees that take their marching orders from Memphis.
But he really isn't "controlled" from Memphis, is he? If that is true, there wouldn't be talk of Fedex buying out the contractors to get the control you claim they already have. That would be an expensive redundancy.

I don't think FE267 needs you to speak for him. I already got my answer and you just verified it....thank you
Ain't gonna happen bb....
No, I don't believe so either.

Sorry, but no. They already have a high degree of control, but they need more. If the contractors were bought-out (doubtful), FedEx would have the same dictatorial powers they have over at Express. The trick is to still exert the control, but pretend that the contractors are the ones doing it. So far, it seems to be working. If you think the TM's aren't answering to Memphis, you're kidding yourself.

Piss-off the TM enough, and see what happens. Then you'll see how much control FedEx really has.

Been there, done that. Problem was, contract said I was right. That pissed him off even more!
I'm thinking that FedEx has legal language somewhere in your contract that can and will be used against you if need be.

Ol' Uncle Freddo doesn't do ANYTHING unless he has a back door to slip out of.
If that were the case, do you think all the legal issues at Ground would have seen the light of day? They just would have "fired" them and gone on. Or is Fred just too dumb to figure that our?

No, they have not all seen the light of day. Fred, whom you regard as so freaking smart, has lost plenty of money over the years being sued by Express employees. His time is yet to come with Ground. Wait for it.
Are you kidding? That's what the whole ISP and the California lawsuit were all about. That's been going on for years. They have seen the light of day and Fedex has won several of them.

Sure, if you say so. Ask Fred about the Black/Latino Management settlement in CA, the upcoming age discrimination suit, and all the others in the pipeline over at Express. FedEx Legal has had egg on their faces many times, so don't be so confident that the ISP is in the bag. I personally know several very wealthy ex-couriers who got big money from Fred, so I'm guessing that there have been lots more throughout the company.
FedEx skirts legality all the time. Time will tell how much they can get away with.

Not with anything more than rumor and heresay, I would guess.
Rumor and heresay sell more newspapers.
Correct. And repeated often enough can sometimes come true and if not true have the force of truth.
