NOT LARRY THE HOSTLER, BUT A PART-TIME WORKER ...

Get your facts straight! 25 dollars an hour was several years ago and Aug.1 you'll need to add another dollar to the figure. Yes another annual raise as provided by our contract negotiated by the Teamsters union. We receive a negotiated raise each year. Oh by the way how much do you pay for your health care insurance? Is that just for you? Hmmm what does it cost you a month for your entire family? Wow....I've never paid a penny for mine or my family's health insurance. Even as a part-timer I have enjoyed the same great health care insurance as well as vision and dental coverage at no cost as negotiated by our union my family enjoys the same coverage as I at no cost to me. After speaking with a FedEx Express employee I was led to believe by him my insurance was also much more comprehensive as well as better with similar co-pays. Do you have pension fund? Oh you have to be full-time to receive that. I'm glad the time I spent part-time included 2 for 1 pension credits in fact it also provided paid holidays and vacations. With my total company time now at 16 years do you think 5 weeks and 3 days paid vacation time is good? It will be nice when I pick another week at 20 years and again at 25. Oh yea the 8 paid holidays are nice too.

Teamsters and MEM Mechanics Announce Meeting

United We Bargain, Divided We Beg - We, as FedEx Express employees, have lived and enjoyed working for a company that has historically utilized a People Service Profit philosophy. Take care of your people and your people will take care of you. This worked well for FedEx as the company established itself and developed a new industry. Today, we live and work in an environment that dictates that the company no longer wishes to do business as a company and must evolve into a corporation. This transition signaled an end to the PSP philosophy for us. The Corporation has shown us what we need to do in order to secure our future and livelihood here at FedEx. We need a union now! We need the Teamsters now! Signed, FedxMX Organizing Committee

DISAPPOINTED DOCKWORKER IN FONTANA ...

After todays p.m dock meeting, with frank discussing about the pension and 401 k, I have no hope in Fedex future, I can't afford to contribute in the 401 k, especially being a part time dock worker ,can't afford it ,and for another reason Fedex does not allow dockworkers to become full time workers, this policy of Fedex sucks.
My uncle at usf reddaway said the new teamsters contract will allow part time workers to become full time workers, with a top pay of $ 22.18 an hour, one other thing at Fedex looking at the old time dock workers they have fringe benefits, and especially Fedex wanna be supervisor also have fringe benefits, who could care less about part time workers, also I am considering in joining those workers at FedEx who display the "union yes" sign on their car out side the parking lot, hopefully I will meet one of you guys and obtain a sign for my car.
