THAT’S RIGHT A F/T PUROLATOR COURIER MAKES $6,082.50 MORE MONEY PER YEAR THEN YOU DO!!
(Based on a 8 hrs shift 5 days per week)
•100% paid benefits are worth $65 a month to each F/T Purolator Courier.
•100% paid pension plan is worth $70 a month to each F/T Purolator Courier.
•To have the same wage as the average F/T Purolator Courier you would have to make $24.37 per hrs.
SO LET’S DO THE MATH
•$24.37 per hrs (Ave. Teamsters Purolator Rate) minus $23 per hrs (Ave. FedEx Rate) = $1.37 per hrs.
•Break the deductions of the average FedEx pay period down to an hourly deduction. It costs the average FedEx F/T Driver approx .40 cents per hour for option 2 health and welfare coverage. It costs the average F/T FedEx driver approx .75 cents per hour in pension contributions. Ok, so that equals approx. $1.15 per hour in deductions for the average F/T FedEx Driver.
•$23 per hrs (F/T FedEx Driver) minus (-) $1.15 per hrs in deductions = $21.85 per hrs after deductions.
•$24.37 per hrs (F/T Purolator Driver) minus (-) $21.85 (F/T FedEx Driver) = $2.52 per hour difference.
•$2.52 x 40 hrs x 52 weeks = $5,241.60 per year.
•$5,241.60 plus the value of 100% paid benefits and pension = $135 a month or $1,620 a year.
•$5,241.60 plus $1,620 = $6,861.60
THE END RESULT
$6,861.60 - $ 779.10 (union dues) = $6,082.50 more money in your pocket per year.
Myth #4: FedEx management say’s it will close any unionized terminal
It is against the law to say that or any threat. FedEx hasn’t closed its unionized European operations nor have they eliminated their unionized pilots. So why would they shut you down? The answer is simple: “it’s only a scare tactic”.
