Company Seniority at FedEx Doesn't Mean Sh** ( beware it might happen here at Conway )

This is bullsh*t of what FedEx does now, I was talking to a couple of line haul drivers today, and was told that FedEx doesn’t honor seniority no more.
Let me explain the scenario here, if a driver of local p & d that drove for 20 years as local p & d driver, and then decides to jump into the line haul operation department and transfers to it, he loose his seniority, which is ok, but not lose company seniority for vacation or layoff.
Now as of today, being in the same barn, he has no strap at all, meaning if a suppose a driver like Motto Rider that has 5 years with the company as a line Driver and this other driver that has 20 years of company seniority and just transfer to line haul, will be layoff first before Motto Rider.
Or Motto Rider will have first choice for vacation before the 20 year driver…Irudedog from changefedextowin and I warned everybody years ago (2006) that extreme changes were coming, we saw the Big Picture when FedEx took over.
I’ll say it again it’s time to organize now, it’s never too late, but now we have to negotiate what you have lost on the bargaining table.
Everybody that works for a Big Greedy Corporation needs a Collective Bargaining Agreement!!!

My Annual Disappoint Letter From FedEx

A post from change fedex to win
By Rudy Hernandez
FedEx city driver sbo

I recently received my information packet for my pension. From my Viking/ FedEx pension I will be receiving $648/ month. And up to now I will be receiving $55/ month for FedEx’s PPA (Portable Pension Account). That’s a grand total as of now $703/month.

Now I still have my 401k which I won't add for now because I’m 53 years old now. And have at least 12 more years to retire. And if the market takes a dump, so might my 401k!

Now when we retire from FedEx, we will not have any medical benefits. Which we will have to purchase on our own. I had to get my daughter medical coverage a few years ago, because she wasn't taking enough credit while she was going to college. It was going to cost me $399/ month! Thank goodness for Obama care which FedEx has to cover our kids who go to college to the age of 26 yrs of age?

With that in mind, it costs more to cover yourself and your spouse under COBRA around $500 each a month. My so called FedEx pension is $703/month minus $1000/month. That leaves with $-297/month, to pay a mortgage, food, med's, gas, etc. get the point.

And all our managers say, you don't need a teamsters contract, because they we know better for you!

If this alone, doesn't make you think that we need to organize FedEx nothing will. Enjoy your second job at Wal-Mart when you retire. So you could just survive your golden years!

I ask you now FedEx, "WHEN WILL THE GREED STOP?"

Mexican truckers still taking our work!

Mexican truckers taking our work, not only that but unsafe truckers. I thought Conway cared about safety??? All they care about is the bottom line! We need a union contract to help us stake a claim to our work and keep outside truckers from taking it. This is the only way to protect ourselves. Just because Conway owns the company doesn't mean we can't voice our opinions and have a say in the way things are being done. We will have a contractual right to have a say in work rules.

Con-way now wants employees to punch out when they need to relieve themselves in the restroom…. What's next, punch in when your truck is sitting at the gate with your stuff in the truck ready to roll out??? Punch out when you go make a delivery???

A victory for our blog!

Corporate has become aware of our blog entry that exposes the use of Mexican truckers to run P&D in Laredo, TX. They've come down on the manager in that terminal, Rudy. He is the scapegoat for this. I'm sure that corporate had no idea that this was going on… wink wink. Let's keep exposing these greedy bastards for what they truly are!

This is how they flag an employee at FedEx; it's an entrapment system to weed out seniority and the trouble makers (pro-union)
