"...in other words, the certification allows companies to launch and operate long-range commercial drone delivery services without a limit on size or scope.

Video | FedEx speedy and professional mail delivery; Setting quality standard for mail delivery

   

Huntsville, Alabama - A FedEx employee is caught on a Ring video setting a safe and quality example of how to deliver mail packages.

A Madison County resident says his Ring surveillance camera captured a FedEx employee sprinting to his porch to deliver a package. "Not only did the FedEx driver deliver the package quickly, but the courier carefully placed the package on the porch. The person was so quick they would not have even known there was a camera filming the delivery. The courier returned to the vehicle as quickly as they had approached the house and then carefully drove off to the next delivery. I was very impressed with the work ethic of this individual. Great job!"

LA Train looting of packages from UPS, FedEx and Amazon (with video)

  Thieves in LA are looting freight trains filled with packages from UPS, FedEx and Amazon

Watch Video on YouTube

"...Union Pacific, one of the country's largest railroad companies, says it may avoid operating in Los Angeles County following the spike in thefts, which it blames on lax prosecution of crimes. The containers and trains are locked, but can be broken into. Union Pacific said last month in a letter to the Los Angeles District Attorney that it saw a 160% year-over-year increase in theft in LA county. The company claims that a December 2020 special directive issued by District Attorney George Gascón that changed how low-level offenses are prosecuted has contributed to the uptick. ..."

FedEx Voluntary Buyouts

FedEx Starts $575 Million Worker Buyout

"...The FedEx company is offering U.S. employees four weeks of pay for every year worked as part of a cost-cutting initiative announced in December..."    

This Article is From: www.bloomberg.com

This above article is a good example of a FedEx voluntary buyout vs. a Postal Service buyout (VSIP) based on the cash pay-out incentive alone. FedEx is offering four weeks of pay for every year worked [Example: based on $60,000/year base at 40 years] would equate to approximately $90,000 versus a USPS VSIP that is limited $25,000. Our example is based on a 26 pay period year. Please note, that in all fairness, other factors must be considered in addition to the cash offering. For example, we do not know the details relating to continuance of pension, health insurance coverage, wage comparisons, life insurance, pension COLA's, dental insurance, and how the incentive will be distributed. The Postal Service is known for offering "craft employees" less than the $25,000 limited by law and then splitting up that tiny payment over two pay-outs over a timed period. - Postal Newsgroup
