Did you guys stop to think that all the ones getting let go will management and not drivers?
If you have 2 FedEx terminals in one town and they decide to close one, they both have 20 drivers, don't you think they would just keep all the drivers so they can service the customers the same? I can definitely see them letting go the management from either terminal but not drivers.
So that brings me to my next question: What ARE they gonna do about about management, as far as merging them? Same scenario as above, two terminals, same amount of employees, how are they gonna decide who runs the terminal? FEF or FEN management, secretaries, billers, dock, etc. etc.
My PERSONAL opinion is, out of that 1700 countrywide layoffs will not drivers at all, just management, office personnel and maybe even dockworkers.....
Good luck to all of you, I don't wanna see anyone lose their job, especially drivers.
