FedEx take care of your injured workers

Right now, we have 45 days of recovery from the date of injury, not surgery. If an injury requires surgery, give drivers 90 days from the date of surgery to recover without risk of losing their route.

So I drive for FedEx express. I was injured on the job and this company has a policy that after 45 days, you lose your route and can be kicked out of your station. How can anyone heal after surgery in 45 days? It’s impossible and this is a way to force people back to work before they are fully healed. I can understand for bad sprains or like a rolled ankle just needing some time to rest but to include people with serious injuries and having to have surgery is absolutely ridiculous. It is not fair to do that to somebody and their family.

Why is this important?

Because the more drivers who come together maybe we can have this policy changed immediately.

Hello my fellow drivers. I have been waiting patiently for the associated press to get back to me so I can tell our story about this company and what they are doing to the drivers after we get injured on the job. I will keep you posted on this. Hope you all are doing well. 🙏

Hello Everyone just wanted to give a update. So sometime this week I will be talking with the press about FedEx and the policy’s when we get hurt on the job. I am really hoping to get the attention this matter needs to help all of us who are dealing with an injury now and for the drivers in the future. I will let you know how it goes. Hope everyone is doing well. 🙏🙏

Hello Everyone, So I had restrictions to return back to work FedEx denied them. Went back to my doctor had restrictions lifted where I could return to work because my HCMP told me so and I still got denied. Nothing but games this company plays with our life’s which effect our family’s as well. My next step is to find out if we can have one big lawsuit against this company for how they treat us. Please keep this petition going strong. Like I said before your not alone.

Hey Everyone thanks for signing this and let’s keep it going share with co workers and Family and Friends. We can NOT go on being treated this way it’s wrong on so many levels. I had to have multiple surgeries there’s no way I’m coming back or anybody’s coming back in 45 days or 90 days. For this company to turn its back on the drivers who are making it the best in the business is alarming and frankly it’s disgusting. Stay strong you’re not alone. 🙏🙏
