Your not union. You want paid for time sitting on the clock I suggest you rally the troops and try to unionize.
We do have written policy that pertains to these situations however. Many managers abuse or ignore policy to the detriment of many new or uninformed employees. These battles should not have to be fought.

Lol. I feel as a senior employee that it’s my duty. One guy I steered to the P & P, he had family coming from out of the country. He asked for a day off a month ahead of time. They kept putting him off until the Friday before, then told him he couldn’t have Monday off. He said, I won’t be here. Then they didn’t want to pay him for the day. Um, no. I told him exactly what he needed to do. He got paid. Another educated employee. Lol.

Really? Most of east coast/midwest the USA can be trucked 11 hours by a contractor to a local hub and then the local CTV could pick it up from there... but they decided to sit on the freight for a plane....

I mean, it always seems like as soon as MEM hits *any* wx the operation goes tits up, even if IND is doing ok.

Anytime I see or hear a statement from Fedex, it sounds in my brain like Charlie Brown’s teacher.

That only works for a limited amount of domestic freight, right? Aren't disruptions like this par for the course of a system that is overly centralized?

It really is a little more complicated than that, not carrying water for them though
