[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1131572, member: 12508"] Exactly. Also watch out for the phrase "We are considering, which means that whatever your concern is, that absolutely nothing will be done about it beyond the 3 words I just mentioned. It is all theater of the absurd, where well-rehearsed VPs and the like go out into the field and vomit-back exactly what they were told to say by their superiors. Any deviation from the script is major trouble for them because you aren't supposed to ask them anything random and/or controversial. This is where a manager usually steps-in and either tries to divert or outright terminate the exchange and move onto an "approved" topic. Freight has had major problems with having their work outsourced, and I hope the OP comes back and can confirm this. That means that FedEx line drivers sit or work the dock instead of doing their normal job. I see this all the time in the region where I am located. FedEx Freight trailers being pulled by either an independent owner-operator (sound familiar?) or some small low-budget outfit that undoubtedly does it for less. As R1a says, they are only there to diffuse the situation and speak in platitudes about what they are "thinking about doing", which is nothing [B]except[/B] to keep the union out. If the dog and pony show doesn't work, then the Memphis Goon Squad gets prepped and ready for action. I hope more Freight people get on here and spread the word that your ONLY means of dealing with FedEx and improving your situation is to vote for a union and do it NOW. [/QUOTE]
