New Fedex Suits Get Mixed Reviews

You can please some of the people, some of the time.

Just ask Federal Express Corp., which sought employee suggestions before changing its uniforms to reflect it’s compressed “FedEx” logo.

U.S. employees wanted wash-and-wear fabrics, while international employees preferred all natural fibers.

The company’s solution?

Compromise. One golf-style shirt will be made from a cotton-poly blend in the United States, while overseas it will be 100 percent cotton. Many of the other clothes, including button-down shirts and pants, will be made from a cotton-poly blend for employees worldwide.
