[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 520481, member: 12508"] There have been watch lists because they have been shown to me by a friend who is in management. If you speak-up about unions or distribute flyers etc. you are on the list and a manager is assigned to keep track of your activities. This was 7 years ago, so it may have been discontinued because it leaked or somebody let them know it was illegal. I would bet it's still continuing. We'll have to agree to disagree on how couriers feel about the IBT. Where I work, the majority have had it with the low pay, long top-out times, and general lousy treatment. The PPP was the final straw for many of us, and I notice you didn't respond to my questioni on how killing the traditional plan was an example of Fred keeping his commitment to us. Yes, the lousy economy will hinder unionization, but Fred's payoff will be further reduced morale and problems if he doesn't address the many issues hourlies have. And that's whether we go union or not. Even when the economy was strong, Smith kept up the takeaways, justifying them by "needing to expand into International markets", "buying new and more efficient aircraft" and on and on. At some point, upper management needs to remember that there are other employees who matter at FedEx besides pilots and executives. Somewhere along the line, that's been forgotten. And they can spout PSP, and "FedEx Cares" and whatever other feel good manure sounds good, but nobody is buying it anymore. When we view Frontline, many couriers just laugh, and the ops managers say nothing, because they've got nothing they can counter with that says FedEx [I]does [/I]give a sheet. Upper management has completely lost any shred of believability with the average worker, and they still don't realize it. It's kind of pathetic to watch MT3 and his ilk keep spouting the same old crap like we actually believe any of it. It sounds like you're one of the few good ones and I respect you for that. But Fedex has a long ways to go before they get it straightened out and flying right. A lot of people don't give a damn anymore, and the customer sees it. Fred will get what he pays for, and that won't be good for either the employees or the customers. In the meantime, those shippers will go over to UPS, and I can't blame them for doing so. [/QUOTE]
