Do you have any respect for drivers who never worked on the inside?

[QUOTE="bottomups, post: 912331, member: 29452"] Years ago as a steward, I had the opportunity to represent a fellow coworker who was ex military. This person was the senior employee on the seniority list and it was well known that management was pushing him out the door. The production harassment was never ending but tolerated well by this employee. One day during a PCM, the center manager called him PATHETIC in front of his fellow employees. That was the last straw and a grievance was filed for harassment and lack of dignity and respect. A few weeks later during the grievance hearing, the member stood up, faced the DM and said something along these lines. "In 1969, during the Vietnam War, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. I was sent to basic training and in the ensuing weeks, the Corps broke me down and belittled me until I was a shell of myself. When they had me at rock bottom, they instilled Duty, Honor, God, Country and Corps and built me back up to make me the man and Marine that I am today! You sir, your corporate mentality and your minions in management have set out to break me also. When you get me to my lowest point all you want to do is toss me out with the trash. I am here today to inform you that you that you will NEVER break me! Semper Fi!" Without another word being said, the DM turns to the center manager and states "You will treat this MAN with the dignity and respect that he has earned and deserves. If you ever call one of my employees pathetic again you will be shown the door!" Easiest grievant I ever had to represent. I literally never had to say a word. The harassment ceased. The center manager was promoted to DM a couple years later. Upstate, you sir have earned my respect as you have served our Country! Putting in a couple of years PT pales in comparison. [/QUOTE]
