The CEO of FedEx said on Sunday the transport company will be able to meet holiday demand “assuming that we can get the employees,” as a number of industries continue to grapple with decreased workforces because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Asked by host Margaret Brennan on CBS’s “Face the Nation” if Christmas presents will arrive on time this holiday season, FedEx CEO Fred Smith said “I think we’re ready for this,” as long as he has enough workers.
He said FedEx and other companies have seen a shortage in workers in part because of the highly infectious delta variant, and to a degree because of COVID-19 stimulus funds that supported businesses and workers amid the pandemic.

Pressed on how he will hold his employees to the mandate, Smith said FedEx will “try any and everything,” pointing to incentives, encouragement “or what have you.”
FedEx has really gone down hill in quality of service.
Just had them deliver laminate underlayment roll on Saturday. They threw the $200 unwrapped roll in my driveway by my trash cans far from my front porch and entry door. Luckily I found it before the rain destroyed it.
The previous two packages they delivered were seeds. Both the packages were smashed.
Express or ground?
Good luck getting seasonal part time workers to get the “mandatory vaxx”.
The “experts” will never see it coming....
The mandate’s deadline is after the holidays.
Ground
Employees, you can’t even get the crap off the ships in the pacific!
And what do the commies do? FINE the container ships who have nothing to do with getting the ships unloaded!
FUBAR!!!
"CEO says GM can meet truck demand 'assuming that we can get the chips'"
"CEO says Amazon can meet holiday demand 'assuming that we can unload the container ships'"
"CEO says Mobil can lower gasoline prices 'assuming that we can get the crude oil'"
LOL...good luck finding good workers in Memphis.
LOL, at least someone here gets it!
More like Atlas Shrugged every day.
We could have ham and eggs.... if we had some ham.
My FedEx driver said he’s working 7 days a week and he’s happy. In case you’re wondering, he’s black and a very sweet man. Always smiling and chatting and he’s been delivering my Chewy orders for about 2 years.
Fred Smith is still CEO? I worked for them back in the 80s. I guess he’ll die in that position (he’s almost 80 years old).
I applied for a seasonal job with UPS. So far they’ve said nothing about a vaccination requirement or even a drug screen.
While both Express and Ground are FedEx, they truly are like 2 different companies. FedEx express has FedEx employed drivers, sorters, etc.
FedEx Ground drivers are contractors. They paid and bought their route, so to speak. They are just different. I always worked express. Ground probably wasn’t even an idea when I started. Plz call and let them know what he did. Ground doesn’t have the work ethic that express has.
Pressed on how he will hold his employees to the mandate, Smith said FedEx will “try any and everything,” pointing to incentives, encouragement “or what have you.”
but you will comply.............
