[QUOTE="quadro, post: 672794, member: 12850"] Technically nothing is stopping the manager from retaliating. The big flaw you are referring to infers that every manager is corrupt and that simply isn't the case. If a manager were to truly retaliate, 99% of the time, using the GFT, Open Door, or calling the ethics line would resolve the issue. You can believe that or not, your choice but think about it. A manager retaliates and the senior manager, director, VP, Sr VP, HR, HR manager, HR director, HR VP, HR Sr VP,etc all turn a blind eye? That's some conspiracy theory. And you really don't file a complaint to the same people you are complaining against. Most times your complaint is with your manager or sr. manager. Neither the GFT, Open Door, or ethics line goes to either one of those two people. Whether it's GFT or a union grievance process, if your discipline is overturned, in your eyes it's a great process. If your discipline is not overturned, it's a joke. That's just humane nature. Ask yourself how many people have told you or have you heard about who went through the GFT process? And how many of those thought it was a joke? I'd venture a guess that it's certainly not all of them and typically you are not going to hear about the people who had discipline overturned. The most vocal are the ones that feel they've been wronged (whether they were or not cannot be determined here). And one other thing I just thought of. The GFT process is open to everyone and accessible easily online at FedEx. I'm not sure it works the same way with a union grievance process. I'm sure someone here can tell us but my understanding is that if you have a grievance you have to go through the shop steward and there's no guarantee that your grievance will even get heard. Again, not claiming that to be fact and would welcome accurate info on that. [/QUOTE]
