A Need for Urgent Change

I have been watching on the side lines , taking in information, listening to other workers, and watching managers behaviour trying to decide whether or not I would be willing to support a Union. After a very long time and much thought I have come to the conclusion that there is definately an Urgent Need for Change at Fedex. Loyalty is a very large part of my work ethic and over the years, I have felt pretty blessed to have a company that fosters relastionships, helps employee's grow and commits to us as individuals. That was then......and this is now...... Over the past several months, I have seen such a downturn in events that I just cannot believe it. I have seen managers behaviors change drastically, to the point where I do not even think they know what is what anymore. Micro managing, questioning employee's for silly little descretions which are explanable, disempowering, cuts, cuts, cuts to hours, disorganziation, questioning the intregrity of the employee's, lack of leadership, deflection of blame and the list goes on..........What a Shame. I do not know what is going on but there has been a significant change in attitude towards the philsophy that grew on me in the past, that I have to wonder how my future will be impacted no matter what happens. There is an Urgent Need for Change and quite possibly, the Teamsters are the answer to put things back into place as they should be. Thank you.

Myth #3: If you form a union, you risk losing the benefits and pay raises you already have

The truth is... It is illegal for a company to freeze or cut previously scheduled raises to discourage you from forming a union.  Once you’re organized, you’ll lock in current wages and benefits and then negotiate improvements from there. Read more >
