[QUOTE="quadro, post: 673816, member: 12850"] In a grievance process such as at UPS, who makes the decisions. Isn't it upper management? Surely it's not left entirely up to the union? While I understand people feel they need someone to represent them and I'm not questioning or debating that here, I am curious how the grievance process progresses in terms of who makes the decisions. You know what they say about statistics. While you may be correct that statistics would show that more people loose a GFT than win, that doesn't say anything about why that is the case. Maybe more lose because the right decision was made the first time? In all honesty, is it more likely that a Fortune100 company like FedEx is going to say "we don't care if it's the right thing or not, just uphold managements decision even if it does expose us to large lawsuits" or is it more likely that FedEx is going to say "ensure the policy is applied fairly and consistently to protect the company from lawsuits"? Keep in mind, this is not saying that the policy is necessarily fair, just that it is applied fairly and consistently. Just curious but why did the customer threaten you? I understand if you don't want to share if it was a unique situation that might give an indication as to who or where you are. [/QUOTE]
