[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1106424, member: 12508"] A really big part of the problem is the way FedEx ignores labor laws that supposedly protect the rights of workers to organize. [B]Everyone[/B] who has worked there for awhile knows that the union is [I]verboten. [/I]No discussing it, no literature, nothing, and to say anything even remotely mentioning a need to organize gets you the "troublemaker" label you mentioned. These scare tactics have been in-place since Day 1, and they are quite effective. Here's how far it goes. Let's say you want someone from United Way to come to your station and tell you all the wonderful things your donation will make happen. They won't even let the United Way person into the building, because that might open the door for an IBT rep to claim the right to equal access. They wouldn't even let the Girl Scouts in. If you openly talk about a union, you will have a manager [I]assigned [/I]to watch you and report back to Memphis. That's why anything needs to be done in-secret, and outside company property. It's our legal right, but apparently not at FedEx. [/QUOTE]
