[QUOTE="quadro, post: 750307, member: 12850"] No, I didn't miss your point. You as usual are trying to have your cake and eat it too. Your claim is that FedEx will "use you up like a tube of toothpaste and toss you". In the same post you use an example of a 23 year employee who doesn't pull their weight. If that employee is hypothetical and doesn't exist, then it invalidates your example. If that employee isn't hypothetical and does exist, then it invalidates your claim. This is an area, however, that for me is a plus for having a union. It is likely that with a contract, performance standards would be clearly spelled out. As it stands now, most managers don't appear to follow up, discipline, etc, those poor performers. If they did, more people would either improve their performance or be terminated. With a contract, it would be a lot easier for managers to discipline and terminate. Those employees would then be free to use whatever grievance process is established and hope for the best (if their grievance even gets heard). I really don't like to see people lose their job but some people are just not cut out to be couriers and need to move on to something else. Should a union come in to play and a contract ratified, this is something that would help those of us who have to keep bailing out the under-performers. It's not enough to get me to vote for a union but it is a check in the plus column. [/QUOTE]
