I will have to agree with you that every year I have gotten some form of a raise with FedEx. They have been minimal to say the least ( .40-.60 cent raise. This comes about to around 2-2.5%. Now, generally, core inflation runs at around 3% a year so in reality every year we are making less and less money. Were making more money on paper but value wise we are making less. Throw in health insurance deductions rising every couple years and we aren't getting sh$t. To get a real "cost of living" raise we would have to get in the .60-.80 cent range. (this is assuming if your hourly and at top of the scale). i just have a problem with a 32 Billion dollar company skimping on paying their employees. They can certainly afford it. ( This is my view at least)
