[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 863855, member: 18708"] Yeah without a doubt, I cannot see things getting better. And to MrFedEx, you said "It's interesting to see the opinions of UPSer's who are advocating bold actions, yet do not understand the vehement anti-union environment present at Express. The moment you started getting cards signed, your name went on a "hit list" and a manager was directly assigned to monitor you and begin the harassment process, hoping to hustle you out the door before you could inflict any real damage to the Borg Express machine. That's totally illegal, but what kind of defense could you have mounted [I]on your own against the combined forces of FedEx?[/I] The answer is that you'd be terminated, probably on totally false grounds, and then forced to find legal counsel that would take your case on a contingency basis. FedEx, knowing that they can outlast most lawsuits, would then try and starve you out, either through procedural delays, or by bouncing your case from court to court until they find one they like.

If your case has merit, you will finally get your settlement, minus the 40% or so you have to pay your attorney(s)." I don't know if you have worked for UPS before but the treatment is the same. The good news is UPS cannot just fire you unless you fire yourself with a cardinal rule breaker...but I'd say UPS disciplines 2-3x as much as FedEx due to the mgmt/union battle [/QUOTE]
