About FedEx:
FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX), originally known as FDX Corporation, is a logisticsservices company, based in
the United Stateswith headquarters in Memphis,
Tennessee.[1] The name "FedEx" is a syllabic abbreviation of the name of the company's original air
division, Federal Express, which was used from 1973 until 2000.
FedEx Corporation is a Delaware corporation, incorporated
October 2, 1997.[2] FDX Corporation was
founded in January 1998 with the acquisition of Caliber
System Inc.by Federal Express. With the
purchase of Caliber, FedEx started offering other services besides express shipping. Caliber subsidiaries
included RPS, a small-package ground service; Roberts Express, an expedited shipping provider; Viking
Freight, a regional, less
than truckload freight carrier serving
the Western United States; Caribbean Transportation Services, a provider of airfreight
forwarding between the United States and the Caribbean; and Caliber Logistics and Caliber
Technology, providers of logistics and technology solutions. FDX Corporation
was founded to oversee all of the operations of those companies and its original air division, Federal
Express.[3]
In January 2000, FDX Corporation changed its name to FedEx
Corporation and re-branded all of its subsidiaries. Federal Express became FedEx Express, RPS became FedEx
Ground, Roberts Express
became FedEx Custom
Critical, and Caliber Logistics and Caliber Technology were combined to
make up FedEx Global
Logistics. A new subsidiary called FedEx Corporate Services was formed to
centralize the sales, marketing, customer service for all of the subsidiaries. In February 2000, FedEx
acquired
Tower Group International,
an international logistics company. FedEx also acquired WorldTariff, a
customs duty and tax information company, TowerGroup and WorldTariff were re-branded to
form FedEx
Trade Networks.[3]
FedEx Corp. acquired privately held Kinko's Inc. in
February 2004 and rebranded it FedEx Kinko's. The acquisition was made to expand FedEx retail access to the general
public. After the acquisition, all FedEx Kinko's locations exclusively offered only FedEx
shipping.[3] In June 2008, FedEx
announced that they would be dropping the Kinko's name from their ship centers, with FedEx Kinko's changing
to FedEx
Office.[4][5]
In September 2004, FedEx acquired Parcel Direct, a
parcel consolidator, and re-branded it FedEx
SmartPost.[3]
In December 2007, the Internal Revenue Service of
the United States 'tentatively decided' that FedEx Ground Division might be facing a tax liability of $319
million for 2002, due to misclassification of its operatives as independent contractors. Reversing a 1994
decision which allowed FedEx to classify its operatives that own their own vehicles, the IRS is auditing the
years 2003 to 2006, with a view to assessing whether similar misclassification of operatives has taken place.
FedEx denies that any irregularities in classification have taken place, but is facing legal action from
operatives claiming benefits that would have accrued had they been classified as
employees.[6]
On October 22, 2008, the Internal Revenue Service withdrew its
tentative assessment of tax and penalties for the 2002 calendar year ($319 million plus interest) against FedEx
Ground Package System, Inc. (“FedEx Ground”) relating to the classification of FedEx Ground’s owner-operators for
federal employment tax purposes.
In June 2009, FedEx began a campaign
against UPSand the Teamstersunion, accusing its competitor of receiving a bailoutin an advertising campaign called "brown
bailout". FedEx claims that signing
the Federal Aviation Administrationre-authorization bill, which would let some of its workers unionize more easily (and,
according to the Memphis-based company, "could expose [its] customers at any time to local work stoppages that
interrupt the flow of their time-sensitive, high-value shipments”[7]), is equivalent to giving
UPS a 'bailout'. Independent observers have heavily criticized FedEx's wording,[7] claiming that it was
"an abuse of the term".[7] FedEx staff are
regulated under the Railway Labor
Act.[8]
