Sick Days

On this, you are absolutely correct. All that has really gone on in this forum is bitching and debating shills sent by Memphis.



Start signing union cards. That is the best message that would be heard in Memphis relating to the discontent that is out there.



Sign a union card, get as many in your station and surrounding stations to sign union cards. If you and those that sign cards are "trusting enough" in the intentions of Memphis (ahem...), make photocoptes of them before you mail them into the IBT - then mail those copies to Fred with a letter stating that you don't see any other way to change the current situation for the better for the Couriers of Express.

You and some of those that signed cards might just get your meeting with Fred. Wouldn't count on any change occurring (you've been through enough SFAs) - you'd get Fred and crew with a pre-scripted meeting plan (along with a camera crew to record it all), looking to make you (plural "you") out as discontented and ungrateful fools.

That would be taking positive action - and would be a refreshing change of events from what has been going on here for the past few years - mainly bitching and moaning without doing anything about it.

Let us know how it goes.

Exactly. I especially like the part about pre-scripted meetings/media events. If anyone else has noticed, that's basically the only access we have now to the upper echelon. They know that a trip into the field would likely not go very well, so they keep it in Memphis, where the questions and "answers" can be completely controlled. As R1a said, they could easily manipulate the outcome to make it look as though we were just whiners.

I think they've even done away with the skip-level meetings where hand-picked suck-ups would meet with the Chosen Ones and toss them softballs, or better yet, only ask questions from a prepared list of acceptable ones. This almost sounds like Mitt Romney running away from the press, because he can't give an off-the-cuff answer without getting himself into trouble. Same for the Memphoids.

How about these two?

1. Mr. Smith, why did you just double your salary when we are in a financial crisis?

2. Mr. Thornton, is it true that you commute daily to Memphis from Chicago in a corporate jet?

Cue diabolical music and the smell of sulphur.

Maybe, but there wouldn't be anyone left these days. You don't work here, so you don't know.

Uh, yeah I do.

Uh, yeah I do.

OK, I thought you were UPS. So, tell me, why is FedEx so great?
