[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 707937, member: 12508"] The concept that seems to be over your head is that FedEx has a planned strategy to keep unions out and eliminate anyone who supports them. No, not everyone is out to get you, and there are actually some managers who covertly support unionization. The trouble is, they have to toe the company line, so even if they see nothing wrong with a union, if they don't report you for distributing literature or talking openly about the positive aspects of a union in a workgroup meeting, then [I]their[/I] butt is on the line. The whole thing comes straight from the top of the company and it's been that way for a very long time. You're free to disagree with me anytime you want, but if I disagree back it's not a personal attack, it's just me disagreeing with you. And no, I don't think you have much common sense if you cannot see what FedEx is all about. Trusting a manager will usually get you fired because if it comes down to an issue between you and them, guess who's going to prevail most of the time? I've seen couriers confide something to an ops manager, and then have it revealed the very next day. There are 3 I trust, all of whom I've known for over 20 years, and feel the same way I do about the company. They do what they have to in order to play the game, but they don't like the direction FedEx has been heading in either. One is a VP, one is an MD, and one is a senior. What does that tell you about this company when highly-placed mangment isn't onboard with the program? All 3 want Smith gone, and would like to see new leadership that is more progressive. [/QUOTE]
