This morning's meeting in SBO included 2 DVDs with corporate leaders. In one segment Doug Duncan mentioned that ' unions are attempting to hurt FedEx and they are changing the rules, to make this happen. He also said, ' FedEx doesn't want to deal with a 3rd party.'
So with these statements when he says, “FedEx doesn't want to deal with a third party”. Who is the 3rd party? Most likely Doug means the “Union”.
Websters Dictionary definition of 'Union' is:
“An organization of employees formed to bargain with the employer.”
So when Douglas says, FredEx doesn't want to deal with a 3rd party' & the Union wants to hurt FedEx. He means Fredex doesn't want to deal with you fdx employee! And you want to hurt the company!
Now who's hostile and disengaged?

Brothers and sisters some of you are already viewi... Brothers and sisters some of you are already viewing Doug Duncan video, and in this video Doug states that the employees at FedEx does not need a union or 3rd party to represent our employees. Well Mr. Doug Duncan let me tell the union has already been in our system for 3 years, it started the day when we the people of FedEx started grouping together and discussing how we can improve our working conditions. We the working people labors of FedEx are the union, we represent our self, we educate and practice our labor Rights, and we are not joining a union, we are forming a union... now where in the hell is this 3rd party Mr. Doug Duncan?
Good job JOE NUNO it is time to make a case against FEDEX FREIGHT with the LABOARD BOARD COMMISION for showing ant-union videos telling to the employees in the video that fedex does not need a union or 3rd party to represent our employees we need to contact the teamster and let them know that fedex is violating the laboard law by showing anti-union videos forcing workers to watch videos on company time but when it come to pay delay time to our driver they look the other way i think that MR DUNCAN is having a nightmare with MR JIMMY HOFFA KEN HALL AND PATRICK KELLY AKA "THE 3RD PARTY" that's what he's afraid of from a fontana driver ready to form a union see you at the meeting.
I hear Gardena has scheduled monday meetings for their employees and I'm sure there will be no real answers from those videos. When Fedex allowed supervisors to enforce work rules that have nothing to due with driving a truck, loading a trailer or moving freight down the road, they paved the way for unhappy employees and these same supervisors have been disrespectful to us because fedex gave them the green light to do so, otherwise each service center would have been forced to fire these supervisors and managers and bring in some fresh folks who know how to treat people. As a former Viking Doug knows what Randy and his brother did so well. Taking away benefits, seniority, working hours and treating people like trash has only done more harm to the employees that work here. you can't take benefits away from employees who have put over 10 years of there life into this company and then change the rules. Remember John H said no changes would be comming to this group or that posistion and all turned out to be lies. Every service center has broken the Family Values that we worked so hard for. Now the time has come for us to become Teamsters so we can have a Voice here.
looks like Mr.Doug Duncan was not very good at math. if he said there is a 3rd party. when do the employees vote on all this Changing that Fedex is doing..1+1=2 not 3...Mr.Doug Duncan...
they take away benefits and cut our hours. then they force some long time workers to settle for chicken feed and scraps to live on. then they kill our pension plan and add another type of plan. follow that up with no 401k match and then no cost of living wage. now change the uniform policy and cost to maintain that. treat people like second class morans and now Beg us to say No to the only hope we have left The Teamsters. I don't think we can afford to say no now, were all being screwed by Very Rich people that hold all the cards and alot of Money. Sorry but I'm headed to the Union Hall to support my Family as well as my Brothers and Sisters that have lost so much because some folks need bigger toys to play with while we drop to the bottom of this garbage pile they call Respect. this is the 1-st time I have ever wanted to be in a Union, I screwed up 30 years ago working without one. Not Anymore.
RIGHT NOW FEDEX NEEDS US BECAUSE THESE NEXT 4 MONTHS ARE THE NORMAL BUSY SEASON AND THERE MUST BE PLENTY OF WORK BECAUSE THEY NEED ALL US LINE DRIVERS TO WORK THE DOCKS, AFTER THAT HOWEVER IT WILL SLOW DOWN AND THEY CAN START MAKING MORE CUTS TO ALL OF US AND USE THE OLD TUNE, IT'S SLOW AND WE HAVE NO FREIGHT, WHILE NATIONAL CONTINUES TO GET THE CHOICE RUNS AND WORK ALL THE HOURS THEY WANT. IF IT WAS SLOW AS THEY SAY, HOW COME MOST LOS ANGELES AREA YARDS STILL HAVE 7 SUPERVISORS ON AVG, STILL GETTING 60.000 PLUS A YEAR WITH NO FREIGHT TO MOVE WE SHOULD HAVE MAYBE 5 SUPERVISORS AND 1 SERVICE CENTER MGR ON HAND, NOT 7 TO 10 SUPERVISORS AND TWO TO THREE OPPS / SLASH SERVICE CENTER MGRS WORKING 500 BILLS AS THEY SAY, THE RICH GET RICHER, WHILE WE CONTINUE TO RACE DOWN TO THE BOTTOM.
Who's the,"2nd party"?
I don't recall any negotiations regarding everything thats been done or taken away from us being negotiated.
We were TOLD this is the way it is.It's their way or the highway-and please take the highway if you have any seniority.
Then too,if they tell or imply that they know best-watch out.What they know best is how to screw you;and,you have no defense because you do not have a Teamster's CONTRACT.
Connect the dots.
You're Right brother Frankie there is no 2nd party either, I am suppose to be 1 whole FedEx Employee.We all represent Federal Express. You see brothers and Sister this is a brother who is Educated on the language, and language is a key role that FedEx does not want you to understand or learn!! BE WISE AND ORGANIZE OUR OTHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF LABOR, BROTHERHOOD FOREVER.
IT is time to let THE ARKANSA UNION BUSTERS know about the way the operation manager from gardena ROY aka "MR D.U.I"is been harassing and misstreating workers in our terminal this guy use to be a lazy ass driver bust two times with dui he's been pusching workers around for a long time and instead of being fire he got promoted as operation manager now if fedex wants to save more money they should fire this gardena o.p manager including the one from ANH LOS IVN WHT FTA OXN SFV SDO fire all this operations managers we don't need two managers at every terminal that's a waste of money wake up MR DUNCAN it's time to save some money to UNKLE FRED SMITH he needs more money to buy more airplanes now he knows where to get it from we are just giving you a hand THE GARDENA PRO UNION WORKERS>
after those videos yesterday and the chetchat from our managers it looks like were in for more changes real soon. this company don't care about us and our family's, so what if you have to drive 60 miles to get to work at 3.50 a gallon. so what if your family may have to move away from their home after living there for 10 15 20 years now. line drivers working the docks at 50 60 years of age and then telling them they are slow and need to speed up, is DISCRIMINATION no matter how you slice it they don't care. the Union can help but only if you and i make it happen otherwise we get what we allow them to do and they have shown they will stop for nothing short of senior folks being forced out or at least being pressured to quit due to stress. think about it, 55 60 and i heard 67 year old drivers working the docks how stupid this is, your turn is comming soon your just not in your 50's yet, bet your looking forward to this bid some day.
Only people who work for this company will know what she says is truth. I worked for American Freightways in 1995, and once Fed Ex bought AF..things went downhill slowly from there. Pay for health insurance, now they won't even contribute to the 401...because of the economy they say. Fred, are you having fun in your big jet and your mansion. Fed Ex Freight is not the company is once was when Mr. Garrison from Arkansas owned AF...Thanks Freddie (guess that's what happens when there is no union
Listen to the WISDOM of Rudedog, he is showing you the right path to a solution to get up and stand up for your rights, let your voice be heard, form and organize a union together. See the KNOWLEDGE of what a union can do for you and others,with education of our labor rights we be able to show others and open up their eyes. Once you attained the KNOWLEDGE of unionism you can sit in the round table and help negotiate a Collective Bargaining Agreement. Now when you really UNDERSTAND what a union can DO you have the power to take control and DO the right thing using your Laws, and that law as I UNDERSTAND is the U.S Constitution, the Law of the land to form a union..Now if you don't UNDERSTAND the WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE here then you will always be WONDERING why, what if, what can I do now, but how?. You will always be trapped in dead zone, with no future, always from the neck down.

I think that the union IS a good idea now since I was singled out and called on the carpet a few times.
We need to unite and bring back what respect we use to have before FDX Inc. took the reigns here to molest our core values and rape our employees financially.
Lets go bro's and sisters!
