MLK50: Justice Through Journalism and ProPublica are investigating worker safety at FedEx and other warehouse and shipping companies in Memphis. (Read our investigation here.) If you’re a worker who has a story or if you know someone who does, we’d like to know:
- Did you feel well trained for your role?
- Were you ever injured on the job? Did you report the injury? If yes, we’d like to know what steps were taken by supervisors to address the incident.
- Did you lose money or employment because of the injury? If yes, we’d like to know if you filed for workers compensation, short- or long-term disability, or state or federal unemployment benefits.
