FedEx Ground drivers often face long hours, no benefits, and no control over their work because the company claims they are independent contractors.

The anti Union harassment and terrorizing of employees is continuing at Whittier. It seems like it is a broken record with supervisors following employees into the bathroom watching them go to the bathroom again. This is ridiculous and very intrusive on employees personal rights. I don't know why supervisors have to invade employees time to use the bathroom by peeking into the stalls when they take a crap. This is the typical terrorizing behavior Fedex supervisors use to try to intimidate employees making a hostile work environment. Fedex management and service center managers work very hard at trying to lie to the employees and making every second hourly employees are there like a living hell straight out of a non UNION sweatshop.
