Company said it is offering employment to men hired by independent service provider while it investigates the incident.

FedEx has denied reports it fired two of their drivers after a video of them confronting a customer over an alleged racist incident in Georgia was posted online.

During the clip, which has been viewed more than 4.7 million on Twitter, a black FedEx employee is seen challenging a while male who is recording him on his cellphone, telling the customer"you didn't have to come out here cussing me like that." It is unclear what sparked the argument, but according to Blackwell, it occurred moments after they delivered a package to the white male's house.

"That's when we told his wife to get the police on us.. that's when he kept following us then he pulled out his phone to record us and start playing the victim role we drove off at first but they yelled"f**k y'all"

fedex probably didn’t fire them cause most of the delivery routes they have a franchise routes, what they probably did was told the franchise owner to fire them
