FedEx reportedly examining cellphone policy after Indianapolis shooting

FedEx is reportedly examining a policy barring workers from carrying their cellphones on the job after a deadly mass shooting at one of the company’s Indianapolis facilities.

The shipping giant told Insider it was reevaluating the ban amid concerns that the policy made it harder for workers at the warehouse to contact their families after a gunman killed eight people there Thursday night. The staffers’ family members were told to wait for information at a nearby Holiday Inn hotel, where some said they were struggling to reach their loved ones because of the policy, according to local media.
