[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 752026, member: 12508"] I wouldn't doubt it. What gets me about FedEx is that they think that it's going to be just like 1997 for them if they kill the RLA. Even if they "win", they still lose because they've created so much bad blood with the employees. This time around, there will most definitely be consequences. I could never talk this freely at work without getting fired. Without a legitimate grievance procedure, I could be canned for anything they decided to think-up. Insubordination, violation of "Acceptable Conduct Policy" (2-5)....and it would stick because employees have no means of defense other than hiring an attorney, and how many people can afford that? FedEx employees know (in general) what they can safely say, and it isn't much. I've heard of employees getting fired for speaking their minds at skip-level meetings that have been specifically called by management in order to "address" employee concerns. In short, you'd better not speak freely, even at meetings where they've asked for your "opinion". They don't want to hear anything but parroting the company line. So much for listening to the employees. [/QUOTE]
