On Wednesday 11-09-11, Sal was ask to surrender his badge and keys and was escorted off FedEx property, until further notice. As he was being escorted off; he asks the manager who falsely accuse him of this hearsay. And that he had his rights to confront his accuser to prove him for his wrong doing. Manager’s reply was, he was not at liberty to say who it was, and that Sal had no representation of any kind to be allowed for this kind of Rights. Today Monday, Sal was ask to come in at 10:30 am, and was told he was terminated for misconducts!!! Sal has been standing up forhisRightsto form a union athis workplace, since 2006, and now FedEx has retaliated on him. If we had union representation, Sal would have had his Rights for a union steward to be present; Sal would have Rights to file a grievanceagainst FedEx for allowing hearsay. Without the Teamsters and no Union representation, WE ARE AT WILL EMPLOYEES…Joe Nunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691065007200214687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353456924944787053.post-14780219573435283602011-11-11T19:15:20.942-08:002011-11-11T19:15:20.942-08:00we need a union. we should not have to depend on t...we need a union. we should not have to depend on the generosity of our managers and employers. Managers and employers change and we should not have to suffer the whims and wishes of every new face that walks through. In a union, working together, we have legal rights - we have the dignity of having some legal control over our own destiny.<br />If we lose our wages or if our working conditions change, it affects our whole family. Shouldn't we have some say over that? Of course the work has to continue! Of course we'll sometimes have to work hours we don't like! Of course some things won't go our way! BUT we should be able to legally work towards a fair and equitable system - a system that makes our voices heard - a system that gives us some influence! Under the law there is only one way to ensure our collective influence - we must become unionized.ulxnoreply@blogger.com
