Former Corporate Employee Speaks Out!
I wish to preface this email, and will not disclose any FedEx secrets from being in a position of "trust", this is MY PERSONAL OPINION of my discharge/treatment and, again, will not disclose proprietary information that I learned during my employment. In my personal opinion, I just want to tell the workers that they need to think long and hard about who is protecting their employee rights as the union will surely stop the nonsense and pure hell, game-playing and disgrace that a company of 255,000 employees, with terminations every single day, put me through. I had to contact the general counsel of Fedex in order to get cooperation of my rights and benefits. Think long and hard about who has your back, because if you don't, no one will.
The law protects you
The Canada Labour Code makes it crystal clear that you are protected from intimidation or worse from your employer as you consider joining a union. Here's what it has to say.
No employer or person acting on behalf of an employer shall:
(a) refuse to employ or to continue to employ or suspend, transfer, lay off or otherwise discriminate against any person with respect to employment, pay or any other term or condition of employment or intimidate, threaten or otherwise discipline any person, because the person
(i) is or proposes to become, or seeks to induce any other person to become, a member, officer or representative of a trade union or participates in the promotion, formation or administration of a trade union.
