XPO | 2.5% raise...really? That's all you can give us?

The 2.5% raise for everyone will cost the company $33,000,000.00. I consider that significant.

Which they will make up for in higher freight rates, more reweighs, and more inspections. At least that's what it sounds like from Greg's video this week. I haven't seen this $33 mil figure posted anywhere. Where are you getting that from?

Its actually 35 million

33 mil, 35 mil, doesn't matter. I'm sure they'll be fine. Also, where's that regional adjustment they were talking about? Nothing was done to even up South's pay scale to West and Central. I'm not all that surprised really.

They never gave a timeline on the regional adjustment. They still don't have a timeline set.

AFTER he ran it for himself for how long? I wonder what ol' Leland would say today if he were still alive. I'm sure he'd be proud of how big and successful his company is today. But he also got out there and did the work with his drivers. I doubt that many in management could do the same today. I'd also be willing to bet that he'd be ashamed of how CF got hung out to dry back in '99 and left to waste away on it's own. Leland James INVITED the Teamsters in at the beginning, they didn't come in and organize. It's in the History of Con-way book. I read it myself when I first started here.

It takes a heck of a lot more than decisions in a board room to make this company succeed every day. Who do you think does more, the guys coming up with the plan or us, who make that plan work? Also, supposedly they take advice and suggestions from us on how to make the day-to-day operation work better. And they drag home millions and we get less than $1/hour raise. We help them do their job and they reap the benefits.

What can I say, maybe you should see if there are any openings in upper management.

White Shirt,
From my understanding the Regional pay scale isnt going to be applied to everybody but to the geographical areas were the cost of living is higher than others,Like the bigger metro areas,Example Chicagoland, Metro Detroit, New York...ect ect ect..For the guy living in the boonies they may not see that increase if im not mistaking...Correct me if im wrong as this is how i understood it..

You pretty much understand it. That's why it's taking so long to work out.

I guess you might wanna go get a job at McDonalds. It's so bad here. You can certainly do better. Go for it.

I doubt that you will ever get the con-way socialism you seek. The concept of one company with one wage is flawed.

33 or 35 million. Which ever it is is a good chunk of the profit we posted this year. I don't know how you can be so disappointed in such a good thing.

I guess you need to pay attention.

And yeah. The idea is that they can afford to give us the raise. It won't mean much if they gotta come back with another 5% pay cut next year to recover from a terrible financial situation.

Yep, I think they would have a hard time selling that one again.

How ignorant! Why is the concept of one company one wage flawed? Why should someone doing the SAME job for the SAME company NOT be paid the SAME. If that isn't correct then conway should split back up into separate regional companies again. And to label that as socialism just shows how ignorant you are.

As I myself reside in the south and suffer the wage difference, I feel there must be something for the large metropolitan areas up north and west.
However, there are areas such as dallas, atlanta, Miami, and northern Virginia that have higher costs than parts of Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana that needs to be addressed. The ot rule needs to be uniform company wide, whether they add to us or subtract everywhere else.

How is taking money out of my pocket going to help you, or the company?

While I don't work for con-way, I do live in a small town in Texas and work for Fedex, out here in the "boondocks or backwoods" we don't get as much as the drivers in dallas do. But it cost me just as much to but grocerys or pay my bills as if I lived in a metropolitan area. The idea that someone living in the metroplex has a harder time because of higher prices is just plain ole bs. In fact due to the cost of transportation, we actually pay more for grocerys and gas. Although I will admit I may get by a little better on gas but that is only because I don't have to drive 45 or 50 miles in stop and go traffic one way, but it still cost me just as much to survive as one of the city slickers.

They didn't really have a full grasp on it when I was told about it. I imagine it will be similar to Fed Ex's new pay scales.

Don't have to take money out of your pocket. Just don't give a raise to the regions that already make more until its even. Besides, you didn't have a problem when they DID take money out of your pocket! Or 401, or stole vacation time. That was to help the company right?

Of course you disagree. That is great. Good for you.

Most companies pay differently based on the different job markets. There is a regional walmart-like chain here. It is called Meijer. Many of you may have heard about it. If you work in Columbus. Top out is $2.00 more than if you work here in the suburbs where I live. There are two stores that are less than 15 miles apart. And have drastically different pay scales. It is a reality of business.

You guys down south are paying for sunshine.
