Urgent need for change

I have been watching on the sidelines, 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 employees for silly little discretions which are explainable, disempowering, cuts, cuts, cuts to hours, disorganziation, questioning the intregrity of the employees, lack of leadership, deflection of blame and the list goes on..........

Thank-you for your comments. No response needed!

Myth #2: The union will make you go on strike
