In the past few weeks,Employees were sent a packet explaining what and how the new pension plan was going to work, which starts in June of this year. At the very end of the packet is a statement required by the government called, "Notice of Benefit Reduction Under ERISA Section 204(h)" .
Section 659 of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, Public Law 107-16 (115 Stat. 38) (EGTRRA) added section 4980F of the Code. Section 4980F imposes an excise tax when a plan administrator fails to provide timely notice of plan amendments that provide for a significant reduction in the rate of future benefit accrual. A reduction of an early retirement benefit or a retirement-type subsidy is also treated, for purposes of section 4980F of the Code, as a reduction in the rate of future benefit accrual. Section 659(b) of EGTRRA also amended section 204(h) of ERISA to treat the elimination of an early retirement benefit or a retirement-type subsidy as a reduction in the rate of future benefit accrual. The Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002, Public Law 107-147 (116 Stat. 21) included certain technical corrections to section 659 of EGTRRA.

Well if every old school employee remembers, it was PEOPLE, SERVICE, AND PROFITS. now is service ( Corporate) and lots of profits!!!
As info for the employees. In the Fedex eemployee handbook if a full timer averages less than 32 hours per week OVER A CONSISTENT 6 MONTH PERIOD. Their benefits may be taken away. This means if an employee averages less than 32 hours over six months every week over a 6 month period they lose their benefits according to the employee handbook. So if an employee averages 32 hours for 3 weeks and then gets 40 hours the next week this nullifies the cancellation of your benefits. And for some employees they have lost their benefits after 3-4 weeks of getting less than 32 hours per week. Is Fedex management trying to bully us again? What a shock.

To all brothers and sisters of FedEx Corp, Good luck fellas at the Las Vegas convention this weekend!!!!
