- Strategic Restructuring: FedEx has proposed a comprehensive operational transformation plan for its French business, aiming to reduce its domestic station count from 103 to 86 locations to enhance competitiveness amid fierce market competition and cost pressures.
- Job Cuts and New Positions: The plan may result in the elimination of up to 500 operational jobs while adjusting roles or schedules for 800 team members, but it is expected to create over 770 new full- and part-time positions related to digitized operations, thereby improving overall operational efficiency.
- Investment and Technology Upgrades: FedEx confirmed it will invest up to €78 million (approximately $91 million) in facility upgrades and scanning technology deployment, which are anticipated to enhance employee experience and customer service performance, further driving business growth.
- Compliance with Labor Laws: FedEx stated it will work closely with social partners and adhere to French labor laws during consultations, engaging in formal discussions with employee representatives to ensure that employee rights are fully considered during the implementation of changes.
