MLK Day: FedEx talks the talk, but do they walk the walk?

Yesterday was a big day at the FedExForum. The Memphis Grizzlies played the Phoenix Suns in a special Martin Luther King Day game. It was nationally televised on TNT, and there were awards and other special ceremonies before the start of the game.

I was down the street watching the game on TV, and I noticed that several top FedEx employees were at center court, presenting awards and affirming their commitment to MLK Day and all it stands for.

So, I have a question.

If FedEx is really so committed to MLK Day, why didn’t they give their employees the day off?

Just wondering.
