Apo
Haven't been w/ Buster Freight long enough probably, to compare it to before when it was "O" BUT!!!
I like yourself, have been around this game for a few years.
Apo, when we started, If we could see the future, How many of the changes that have occured would we welcome. ? My guess is next to none.
Remember "wildcat strikes" ??? One union member was all it took to yell "strike" and the entire terminal was shut down until the "isssue" was resolved.Now the "issue" is greived, talked about, sometimes litigated,and eventually resolved in a poltically correct and "for the common good" mannner.
I was in a lecture the other day totally unrelated to work, the subject was "Changes". The speaker made the point there are three "R" 's as far as employees are concerned when it comes to change. RESIST, RESOLVE, REINVENT.
Some employees RESIST the change, some RESOLVE to go with the flow and do "whatever it takes" to get through, and some help REINVENT, the way things are being done so, as a whole, everyone benefits. I guess the point I'm trying to make is This aint your fathers Oldsmobile, and we may not like it BUT. It is what it is. This is where we are. That does not mean that we must fail to continue to struggle on a daily basis for the fair and equitiable treatment,that as employees we deserve , but we must temper that with the knowledge that it is a ever changing, and more competetive envrionment that we toil in.
Let us not curse the darkness, but instead light a candle as to lead us into the next days light
Take Care
