[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3657175, member: 49065"] Over the years you are taught to "take the path of least resistance"..From both sides...This includes Management along with our membership. The target on the back is real and has been practiced for decades to shut down an employee who asks the wrong questions. Not that the unfair discharge or suspension sticks, it is used to discipline not correct anybody that is not a "team" player, most of us have seen it or been through it..It is no Fun and you never forget it or trust the system in place to protect you. Only a handful of people are willing to put their necks out there to correct an injustice or try to make the work conditions better. Most are content to look the other way and hide their heads in the sand or go with the flow, stay under the radar and retire. I flashback to the movie scene in "Braveheart", the battlefield speech by Mel Gibson. In order to be part of history or make a difference you really have to get rid of the fears that keep you down, The movie "Matrix" would also apply, few are willing to take the hard pill, many are not. Still the universal truth of "what you sow you will reap" applies, it never fails, people finally will have enough, rebel and storm the bastille. Maybe with this contract we can actually send a message to the status quo on both sides that things need to change..(wishful thinking, maybe). [/QUOTE]
