FedEx is following suit with other U.S. companies and giving some of its employees more money after the recent tax overhaul.

The company said Friday it's pledging $3.2 billion for wage increases, bonuses and pension funding for employees, as well as upgrades to its hubs in Indianapolis and Memphis, Tennessee.

Specifically, FedEx says it'll give over $200 million for pay bumps, $1.5 billion for pensions and another $1.5 billion for the hubs.

FedEx said these investments are coming after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed, and it's not the only company doing something like this. Walmart, The Home Depot and Starbucks are a few others making similar investments.
