I pay $32.64 a week for family medical, dental and vision benefits at FedEx Freight.
So $1697.28 per year. All the top plans offered. No co pays for a regular checkup at the doctor.
No union dues.
Fedex has a 100% funded pension plan based on years of service and your age and the employees do not contribute to it at all.
They offer a Fedex stock purchase program
Up too 75% discount on shipping Fedex
401k is offered at 100% match up to 2% and you are automatically enrolled after 30 days of starting employment.
I think I earn like 5 sick days a year, and I am at 3 weeks vacation based on my yearly pay so that can vary a little year to year buts it’s more than my standard hourly rate. My vacation rate is like $33 an hour.
Once I hit 14 years in 2 more years I’ll earn another week of vacation and that is the max right now you can earn.
My terminal will ensure I get my 40 hours a week, even if I have to tie up rope and roll up straps at the end of the day they will give me my 8 a day. I usually work about 45 hours a week so I have never had to do that.
Not sure what the unions dues costs members monthly, but I would think it’s a wash maybe between what I pay for medical versus union dues?
What else does the union offer that a non-union company doesn’t anymore?
Seriously I’m not trying to stir the pot, but personally I would never join a union in this day and age, as to me they seem to be an old, outdated, dying, obsolete machine that’s desperate for paying members.
