Helps quite a bit with retention. FedEx doesn’t have a single hourly job that would keep a handler on the sort. Couriers are underpaid with a 20 year pay progression. RTD’s aren’t even close to competitive. Ramp agents are in the same boat. There’s no carrot to chase at this place. Go as high up the hourly chain as you want. There’s nothing to stay for. UPS agrees to these contracts because as much as it hurts to cough up the money.. they know having the top paid drivers in the country makes them a desirable job. FedEx thinks making $43,000/yr while paying $300-$400 a month for family insurance is a solid desirable gig. One that employees will happily stay at for decades.</p></blockquote><p></p>
