So Doug, it seems as though the company has put a bad union taste in DHL now.
Many members don't have much to say because of the way it has gone.
The company and the union have raised many troubling situations for some of our brothers and sisters.
Mandatory OT with no regard to safety or fatigue all without paying any money into the H&W for those hours worked.
Where does his lead with the comp issues already being played as a financial game to them?
The tip of t.he iceberg is showing and it is just the beginning of a 5 year "deal".
