Since the announcement of the October restructure, we have definitely seen the harassment of couriers with seniority ramp up. Boundries moved to make routes under perform goal, application of policies applied to senior couriers but not to others and other attitude changes. While these have gone on for a ong time, I would say they have stepped up the harassment again. No matter whether you are top out or not .....policies should be applied uniformly as opposed to selectively. Wasn't there a seniority lawsuit out there pending somewhere anyway?
Not only age discrimination,but senority and health-wise as well..
An employee was fired recently..""for falsifying company records""...the time card girl said she wanted to leave..when are you leaving is the question..cuz she wants to go home..in 20 mins is the reply..so she enters that estimated time of departure..which the employee did leave by..
Employee is reemed out..this was July 5..a day after US holiday,which is a light day here in Canada..it was ''suggested'' the day before,that all employees were requested to try to only work a 7 hour day..this employee decided to restock van with supplies,check emails,without asking a manager first if this was allowed, but the managers were all gone hours ago..an investigation is launched by manager about the employee's time card...lo and behold..further errors,or ''falsifications''..no proof given,just dates...no other info..
2 warning letters on file from Jan/March 2011,(one for a diabetic episode)..this is the third warning...good bye..26 years with Express...GONE..
Employee has been hassled since transferring to this station 16 years ago..continously..things like..''you're too quiet''..don't park the truck there..oh..your personal vehicle has been hit in the employee parking lot?..you didn't know this new procedure/rules?..how could that be??..you've been off on LTD..you should have kept up while you were off''..
This employee is a juvenile diabetic..suspect that somewhere,someone..has issued the order..''get rid of him..I don't care how..find a way..we can't have this employee on the property in case they have another diabetic episode-we can't be held liable"...
Other long term employees with health issues..have advised the company basically told them..don't call us..we'll call you..we can't have you on the property when you're not 100%...
Of course..this will all be denied..
GFT started..but..David versus Goliath..hope?
We recently had a swing driver get fired. He was 18 mph over speed limit when ticketed so he did it to himself. But this guy was an 11 year employee, acknowledged best courier in the station, knew just about every rt, had encyclopedic knowledge of rts, and everyone liked him. Moral of the story, they are looking to trim workforce, doesn't matter how good you are, if you give them anything to use against you they will. Luckily for him his father owns a bank and is a millionaire. I'd be up the creek if it were me!

Typical management. Lean staffing which makes them look good on paper but is detrimental to customer service and makes for poor working conditions. And yes naturally on top of it they lie and lie poorly in many cases because the management never can keep their stories in sync with one another. How on earth management ever sleeps at night is beyond me.My letter
