How have you " helped fix " the system? What a load of bs. The fact is worker rights and labor laws is the result of the average worker standing up for themselves and not the result of management fixing the system. Down play the voices on this site all you want. It only fires us up more. And any movement starts somewhere. So keep on trying to demean and beat us down. It only adds fuel to the fire and motivates us more. Thank you
I'm always polite, I've never used a write up to solve a problem other than excessive lateness or missing a shift. Or had a heated argument with a driver. I never cut corners when it comes to safety or labor laws. I've never denied a vacation request nor have I not everything in my power to help out a driver. Drivers(even though they are not employees to us) are included in Christmas and regularly included in things like McDonalds breakfast and doughnuts. We are close nit and have very few complaints that involve company matters. If I asked a driver to pick me up a coffee, done. If a driver wanted me to give him/her a ride to a shop for maintenance, done. I don't fix the problem, I don't let there be one. I don't control pay or major policies, I do control my own actions and attitude. If people do those right there aren't problems.
There isn't a need for a movement, there's a need for communication, compassion, teamwork, and understanding from all sides. Yelling "friend you Fred" isn't going to fix anything, and in the end is just going to make you more unhappy.
