The Purple Promise........ not for US!
The "Purple Promise" Doesn't Apply To Us!
All of us at FedEx Express have heard about the Purple Promise for years. As more
and more of our benefits keep slipping away, we all held onto our company's word that we would ultimately be taken care of by the company that we helped build. Most of us were of the belief that we were highly valued at FedEx and the Purple Promise would prevail and protect us.
We would have an outstanding experience! We are promised an outstanding experience!
Well, at the company's annual shareholders meeting held Sept. 29th, in Memphis, Fred
Smith apparently has a new definition of the Purple Promise, and it does not apply to employees.
A worker asked Smith a question about why the pension plan was changed, and stated that such an action by the company basically went against FedEx keeping its
Purple Promise to employees.
That was when Smith redefined the Purple Promise. His statement (which can be heard
on an audiotape of the meeting posted on FedEx's website),was this:
The Purple Promise applies to customers. I will make every FedEx customer
experience outstanding. Unfortunately its not within my power to make every life experience for YOU outstanding.
There were several FedEx Express mechanics at the meeting when Smith said this and we
couldn't believe our ears. All those years of the company selling us the Purple Promise, only to find it gone, taken away, just like our defined benefit pension
plan.
Whats next?
