FedEx pilots take another step toward 30% pay raise
The board of the FedEx pilots union has endorsed a contract agreement and sent it to members for an up-or-down vote.

Uncle Sam cut my pay more than 30% when he invited me to his party, he didn't let me vote to see if I wanted to stay.I was young and worked for a guy that cut our wages by 33% after he got a union vote of NO then , well there was no one left after 45 days , well some that could not drive , he lost customers and lost everything , bye , bye . I'd be down for 33% larger hot dog bun length . So much for 30% . Even a bag of hot chips with 30% more would be nice , good luck to the pilots .
FedEx announced a couple of months ago that they will only be flying the "hot" packages and envelopes in FedEx planes. The rest will be flown through other airlines. Purchase transportation if you will. By them announcing this it would seem they won't need as many pilots or planes in the future.30% is a huge bump. I'd be happy with 10, Instead of the 5 we got last year.
The question is, will they have the same amount of work with FedEx leaning into road and rail.
Sure it does. All commercial pilots are in the union, not all commercial drivers are. It's not like FedEx pilots are the only unionized pilots.The Pilots are Union but the drivers are not doesn't make sense.
Yeah, but if you do, don't go FedEx.All I gotta do is get the endorsement right?
What do you specifically mean by this?think about this............
we are in The Reign of Raj now. cut billions from the budget
Pilots get 30% increase. express and ground not profitable right now
Where does he recoup the 30%???????????????? from FREIGHT. were screwed, just sayin
and we lost our hero status
Don't forget, there is a pilot apprentice program at Express.All I gotta do is get the endorsement right?
Fedex Freight had some locations sign cards then vote in favor of Teamster representation about 8 years ago. Nothing ever happened so one by one they started to decertify.The Pilots are Union but the drivers are not doesn't make sense.
Two reasons for that.Fedex Freight had some locations sign cards then vote in favor of Teamster representation about 8 years ago. Nothing ever happened so one by one they started to decertify.
