[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 896582, member: 12508"] If your case has any merit at all, an attorney isn't going to bail on you until they've checked back with you. My experience has been that GFT usually only works for the groups I mentioned. However, if the [I]manager [/I]has violated policy and you can prove it, there is a chance that GFT might work for you. Here's the deal, and that's the fact that most managers can lie like a rug when they have to, but you'd better have witnesses or facts to backup your end. I've seen too many employees go down for something a manager [B]told[/B] them to do (usually a violation of falsification policy), and when push came to shove, the manager's word prevailed. Managers cover for each other, and some are experts at it. There are always exceptions to the rule, but with a company as anti-employee as FedEx, you'd better have an iron-clad case. I've seen GFT work for the wrong people for the wrong reasons, but they are invariably members of a protected class. If you're an average white guy, forget it, because FedEx knows they can probably beat you (assuming you don't have an attorney).Big disagreement. I've seen enough who have had success with the GFT process. Good managers use GFT'able discipline sparingly and only when they have a very strong case. Poor managers misuse discipline. If the manager has you dead to rights, good luck. If not, press on with the process. Managers screw up and give you forms of discipline that maybe you don't deserve. Hence, the GFT process and those who have had success with it. Few lawyers will drop you until they check back with you to make sure you aren't a prospective client. For around $150, most attorneys will write a letter on your behalf to show that you are "serious". I know quite a few of them, and if they smell money, they aren't going anywhere, especially these days. If your "bluff" is called, pay to have them write a letter to FedEx outlining your complaint. My attorney charges $300 for a letter, and I'm more than happy to pay when and if I need to. He doesn't do class actions, but attorneys know other attorneys who specialize in them, and the payoff for a referral can be quite lucrative. [/QUOTE]
