FedEx Freight | 2019 Health Insurance

We were told this Morning that our family plan is going up around $100 per month. Also if your spouse can get insurance through her or his employer that's what they have to do. Unless you decide to pay an additional$150 a month on top of the increase. Has anyone else heard this news?

Going to need a 2.3% raise JUST to break even with that.

I knew it would be going up, but cripes that's a lot at once.

If this is true, the real surprise is that it’s taken them this long to implement what most companies implemented several years ago!!
Thx Obamacare!!

It all comes down to how much of the raise will be consumed by this?

Bring employee plus spouse back, BS to have to pay for a family plan when there is no children and hasn’t been

With the Obamacare taxes ending this year on self-funded insurance plans I don’t see or understand the need to jack our insurance up. The $64 million in taxes accessed to our corporate insurance plans has been more than made up for by increased costs and lesser coverages in the same time period. Ironically the company has spent in excess of 14 Billion in stock buybacks in the same time period so the $64 million was a pittance in comparison. That’s not even considering the yearly tax break windfall they now enjoy. I sincerely hope that the increases mentioned and loss of coverages does NOT occur. It would be sad and hard to digest considering the financial performance of our segment and the financial considerations already mentioned.

They have to take the raise back some how otherwise we would actually be getting a raise.

I dont understand how my co-workers can be so blind to the FedEx B.S. they keep raising everything on the employees but expect us to take it everyone keeps talking about Obamacare so everyone that's screaming Obamacare how is it possible for FedEx our company to provide great insurance to the pilots but not us I'm not talking about there pay or retirement just medical my medical needs is the same as theres oh I guess FedEx agreed to pay a fine for pilots to have good insurance but not everyone in the company I think not this company not going to do better until the employees demand better

 

[Holo989]

So how are they going to know if your spouse is able to get insurance through their job? Are they going to demand a letter from said company? And if they do couldn’t I just say they’re unemployed.

Actually most companies improved benefits this year to keep and gain employees. But I do wish we all could get that awesome union benefits you get through your wife's employer.

Pay no attention to the company clown.

Please provide the class with examples of these “improved benefits”...shouldn’t be hard since “most companies” are doing it...

You need new sources....I’m on our insurance, I’m not willing to pay the additional $200 plus the premiums that her company has charged spouses for inferior insurance over the last several years.

Nice try though

This is old dominion, abf is company paid 100%, saia stayed the same and after 10 years is still company paid, xpo got alot better with the union being voted in at terminals they made the insurance 20 times better than ours to make the employees happy, And if you looked at the one that Charlotte was proposing for the union was alot better and included life insurance, dental, and vision for the entire family and a hugely lower cost. Now go back to management and get your next response.

Well I hope this is not true. Poor raise and insurance going up is going to get everyone riled up again, I would hope the higher up's at freight would be smarter than that.......
