I know people who use this method and have failed with them. Union is still a better choice IMOHere is representation. https://www.eeoc.gov
I agree Coal but unfortunately many just don’t have the “will” to push the union through. It’s been tried in Dallas and just can’t gain any steam. Perhaps it just hasn’t reached the tipping point. I hear through a very reliable sources that after the 1st of the year another attempt will be made. Whether it will succeed is anyone’s guess. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. You can lead a man to knowledge but you can’t make him think.I know people who use this method and have failed with them.

And you used them before personally,Is this from your own experience and are they impartial and unbiased.Really and will you get a hearing right away.Or will your employer fire you before because of some trumped up company policy or work rule (,Like running a stop sign)Do you have access to company records and or other disciplinary measures taken upon other employees.Remember we keep records of disciplinary measures taken upon our members by companies There is not supposed to be disparate treatment.Everyone gets the same or less depending upon circumstances Can you actually say Saia treats every one the same for the same instances .Or will the EEOC vindicate you not knowing anything or little about the trucking industry or what we do.If you get fired for theft drunkenness Violence or repeated offenses of companies policy ,Nobody can help you ,not even the EEOC.Remember If you don’t like the teamsters there are others try the operating engineers or machinist union.Or in your case retire if you can’t fight any more.Enjoy The next chapter of your life brother ,No Worries a No Hurry ,You got nothing but Time!Here is representation. https://www.eeoc.gov
You make some valid points but ultimately it comes down to the workers willingness to make a stand. It hasn’t reached the tipping point. At least not yet.And you used them before personally,Is this from your own experience and are they impartial and unbiased.Really and will you get a hearing right away.Or will your employer fire you before because of some trumped up company policy or work rule (,Like running a stop sign)Do you have access to company records and or other disciplinary measures taken upon other employees.Remember we keep records of disciplinary measures taken upon our members by companies There is not supposed to be disparate treatment.Everyone gets the same or less depending upon circumstances Can you actually say Saia treats every one the same for the same instances .Or will the EEOC vindicate you not knowing anything or little about the trucking industry or what we do.If you get fired for theft drunkenness Violence or repeated offenses of companies policy ,Nobody can help you ,not even the EEOC.Remember If you don’t like the teamsters there are others try the operating engineers or machinist union.Or in your case retire if you can’t fight any more.Enjoy The next chapter of your life brother ,No Worries a No Hurry ,You got nothing but Time!![]()

Well you should be a voice now!You have the experience and Now the time.You have taken enough :You make some valid points but ultimately it comes down to the workers willingness to make a stand. It hasn’t reached the tipping point. At least not yet.
I know I'm late to the party but Smith System is a bunch of horse manure. I'm so happy I now work at a company that doesnt shove that s*** down your throat every chance they get. Not getting in accidents is common sense, you dont have to make a system about it.Our accidents at the Garland terminal were leading the region in frequency because of the new guys inability to follow the Smith System objectives. When you push inexperienced guys this is what you create. Shortcuts in safety should never be acceptable. Numbers seem to over ride safety and common sense. OMG, the things I could tell you.
I agree Train carry on. If people google search a company their considering working for they will most likely stumble upon this site.Well you should be a voice now!You have the experience and Now the time.You have taken enough :::: for years and had to eat crow.Its time .The young guys have no guidance.You Remember you had a mentor early on in your career.Help those who can’t or do not know enough to help them selves .Its the Christian thing to do.Carry on!
I quote to anyone that asks about training I say Smith System. All Good Kids Love Milk! I'm left alone after that.I know I'm late to the party but Smith System is a bunch of horse manure. I'm so happy I now work at a company that doesnt shove that s*** down your throat every chance they get. Not getting in accidents is common sense, you dont have to make a system about it.
People are crazy enough to buy a Ford or a Chevy, based on others opinions, why not get some advice on where you might take a job?People would be crazy to make a decision about a career based on the rants of what seems to be disgruntled employees and ex employees.
What I find amusing is that when I was defending this company my haters were ripping the company. Now that I’m ripping the company my haters are defending the
Ain't that a kick in the pants?
I actually disagree this time. The old guys are starting to get out of this business and the new younger guys are starting to get in and I think you're going to see the unions make a comeback why? Let's face it our generation wanted to get rid of them but the new generation believes in power in numbers you're already seeing it with the fast food industry I think it's just the beginning just give it some time
