This is an outrage to move our employees to the Kettleman City, california area.
Here is a place where a hazardous material dump is near the town and near the new place of the future fedex freight service center.
We are unclear how many employees will be based there but it sounds like about 50 to 60 plus their families.
I have seen the video and listened to the audios on ltlboards and they are shocking to say the least. Thanks for posting this information. Our company would not have told us about this dangerous place.
Thanks for the information Change Fedex to win!
All you other drivers do the research on google or www.ltlboards.com and find out what to expect if you transfer there.
Wow 7 different toxic poisons in the water!
How far are we going let Harrison Arkansa push us? Stand up for your Human Rights, join this petition... Coming Soon, Your future Home of FedEx 2010!
Has management come out and said they are tranferring employees?
What are the plans for a new service center and who will be affected and who will be forced to go???
This will be a change in ops. Which will be done by mid-august. At our terminal, 4 drivers will move to Kettleman. Divers will be asked by senority. If no one wants to go, than they force drivers from the bottom of the senority up. This will only effect Line Drivers and there will be no local routes out of this new terminal, which they hope to build by 2010.
ps,
isn't it odd that fedex cuts wages and 401k matchs because they say the economy is bad.Yet they want to build yet another new terminal ???
