The purpose of every organization is to employ people first
Code, you could not be more wrong. That is not the purpose of any organization. If it was, why would we not have 10 million employees instead of only 400,000. The only purpose to have an organization is to stay in business and make a profit doing so. Without the two, you would not have a business, you would have our gooberment.
I guess if the company was employee owned you wouldn't need a union either.
For all practical purposes, we are employee owned. Yes, we are on the open market with some of our shares of stock. But those stock only represent a portion of what is actually there. The rest, and the largest voting share, are owned by active or retired employees or their families.
As far as being union, that really does not matter when you are employee owned. A union is a business method that allows the company to deal with the employees in a different manner than if they were not represented. There are pluses for both, as well as negatives. But it has no bearing on the ownership of stock.
Sat, Sober does bring up an interesting situation with the solution. Unless it was a true emergency, I refused to sheet a missed as anything but a missed. I also refused to be dishonest about left building time. All these are their problem, not the drivers. IF they want the problem fixed, then they need to fix it, and not play dishonest games.
And not to pick on you but
Safety first.
The company, nor the union, will not do jack about the over dispatch, unless made aware of the situation.
ECON is my way of saying enough is enough.
My safety is an ECON and I record it as such.
Safety first? IT sounds like you know you are doing something wrong, and are now trying to justify your cover up. Its Integrity first. Safety is no excuse to hide missed packages. Econ is not your way of saying enough is enough, its managements way of saying "give Sat too much, he is a team player and will help hide the over dispatch via Econ." So in reality, that does perpetuate the problem.
Now, Kudos for going to the center and hashing the problem out with them, that is how you fix problems, not with Econ.
What I find interesting is that with large numbers of packages each day sheeted up as ECON. that either upper management has no clue, or is actually actively involved with being dishonest with the customer. And I find that them having no clue is hard to believe.
