Some guy running around trying to cancel our cards at Fedex ground!

This guy who obviously got intimidated by management into revealing that he signed a card is now trying to intimidate the rest of us into admitting that we signed a card. He is even trying to get us to phone the Teamsters and labour board to cancel our cards. Well I can tell you that just because he got sucked in by Fedex management doesn’t mean the rest of us will. I find it funny he does this after spending a bunch of time in the managers office. lol

Teamsters Canada Response:

I am very familiar as to what is happening at FedEx Ground.  So much for the company’s “respect for your right to choose”. Unfortunately the tactic of using worker against worker is a very old trick used by management , as well as the tactic of trying to get people to disclose that they signed a card. Management typically tries to intimidate the workers one on one to find out who signed a card. Even though this tactic is totally illegal and immoral they do it anyways. Management sometimes will then use this information to fire the employee who  signed a card if the organizing drive fails. The joke is Management will also fire the worker that they sucked into running around doing their dirty work for them. I've seen these tactics at every single organizing drive that I have been involved with.

 
The answer to this problem is…..
 
#1 Let us file charges against the company and the person intimidating the workforce.
 
#2 Don’t say anything to management about signing a card unless you're on the inside committee. (Inside committee people are easy for the Teamsters to defend since it's obvious to the Labour Board that they are Union supporters,  so bogus charges or discipline by FedEx management against open pro-union workers will never hold any weight).
 
Remember, the best protection is to sign a card and unionize. The only way FedEx can "get rid of people" without cause is if the organizing drive fails.The very second you are unionized the Teamsters will put a stop to all this non-sense.

Info on union busting

While the right to join and form trade unions is recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR),[1] union busting actions subvert the organization and continuation of unions by sowing discord amongst union members, challenging unions via law courts, strike breaking, lockouts, violent suppression, the sponsorship of anti-union organizations, or the creation of employer-controlled trade unions.
