We must unite with the Teamsters to protect our jobs and the standard of living we have worked to establish.
All Fedex Freight is interested in is the bottom line.
ANYTHING they can do to enhance it they will, this includes turning your standard of living to that of a 3rd world country.
Most of you are aware of whats happening,for those who don't here's a real live example (verifiable).
A Petaluma employee with 20 plus years of service was informed that:1,Get your drivers license,2,go part time with NO BENEFITS or 3, Quit (which they actually hoped he would option for) . He opted for part time. I will provide his name once I get his approval.
This is happening at all the terminals.However,management is reporting it as rumor with no factual basis.Pesky line and combo drivers report the facts.
This is happening and will only get worse.
For line drivers,go to the Fedex website at the terminal.
Go to Fedex Freight East
Go to drivers Manual
Go to Section 13 & 14.
Read about how you are goingto DONATE 30 minutes of." FREE TIME", and work the dock.
Some of this will not withstand legal scrutiny but it will be implimented.
For me I sell Fedex Freight my time and expertise and I will not donate either of them.
I will challenge any attempts to influence me to do otherwise.
What really ticks me off is that Mr. Smith,Duncan and a few other executive officers through INSIDER TRADING ,around June 1st traded in stock for about 31 MILLION Dollars.
The day after the stock began to tumble.Did YOU get a phone call to sell your stock ? I didn't.
Then they preach morals and ethics and doing the right thing. And deliver the purple promise while we get the purple shaft.
Those that know me have heard me say in the past that we didn't need a union.Well the mark of a lucid person is one that sees the need for change.I see the need now!!
If you are a person who leads now is the time to do so.If you are a follower ,get in line.If yo think everything is ok-Get Out Of THE WAY.
