No, we don't need a union, we just need people to come to work and get along with their fellow workers and work with management to get it done. We don't need somebody whom thinks that they are better than everybody else and thinks they can do what ever they want. There is nothing wrong with being a good employee. nothing wrong with bringing up problems in a professional manner and treating people with respect. They will, in turn, treat you with respect.
I think the guy will get his job back, but then again, we don't know the back story or what is in his file.. This could also be a made up story.. like the propaganda "feel sorry" stories told on different blogs and such by union members trying to gain members.. who knows. Entertaining though..
Bull****, I have worked there at XCO and I have never worked at company in my 22 years where they talk to you like crap and with disrespect and have to put up with bunch of little snitches in my entire career. Not to mention some employees can have contributions to 401 and not others regardless of how long they have been there. Guys who have been there 2yrs or less deserve it as well because they are doing the same job as a guy with 15-20 yrs. One of many reasons why I left that sweatshop. The SCM and that dipatcher with initials of BM is truly an a-hole with his tantrums and attitude. The HR guy just transferred to XCL because of the SCM at XCO and he was only there for about 6 months. Firing Con-way was the best thing I ever did.
