When I hired on with Overnite in the mid 80's,just before he sold the company to Union Pacific Rail Road.
He promoted all of his employees to have an interest in the sucees of Overnite,by working together.
He wanted everyone to feel like they were part of his family.
Only problem is that when we were sold off.
The Rail Road only knowing how to deliver rail head to rail head,and nothing about a more face to face service of dock to door.
It seems all of Mr.J.H.Cochrane's family values went out the window.
They did come back some what when Overnite went public with their stock,and got away from the rail road,
But now that we are a division of UPS it seems like our family is drawing apart once again?
The one thing I want to bring to your attention in this thread is that when we were more like a family,we had no use to be organized by any union.
But when we feel that are family is being threatened,than we are more vulnerable to look for help from those out side of the company.
Our company has gone through many changes,but because of our strong work force of dedicated employees we are still standing tall.
If we choose to remain a family and pull together we will see Leo's vision come to us as our company prospers.
But if we cave into outside forces who knows how we may end up?
