Satisfaction in knowing this, more than almost anything else, will force (underlined) labcorp's management to have to interact with the union (ie; employees). labcorp's tactics for years has been to beat down the hourly works taking advantage of their lack of "voice". Sure, people can quit and go work somewhere else, but why can't a company treat their front line employees like something other than an expense. Same with drivers.

For years, Burlington has done everything it could to squash unionization. At every site where unions have gained a foothold, they have disrupted managements' bullying.

No doubt, labcorp management will do everything they can (legal and maybe not-so-legal) to reverse unionization. At the very least, they will try and make life miserable for anyone thought to support the unions.

Drivers and phlebs are not the only employees privied to labcorp management's bullying tactics. Sales and many other departments get the same treatment. There really is a major divide between the have's and have not's or management to employee. HUGE divide!

I think it's safe to say no department is exempt from the tactics of LabCorp management. It is the culture of this company to treat its employees in the manner we are accustomed to. I challenge anyone to state he or she would go to the wall for their manager and this company especially the Sales teams. Criticize me if you will but you are not human to these guys you are a line on the balance sheet that's the way it is.

Agreed.. In sales here. But how is this working for labcorp now and in the long term? Can't see any long term success from treating people like that and it is not a formula for long term success

I'm sure the union told folks they would get them a lot more money. Of course that is to be determined.

Of course money is important. If you work for Labcorp you have to know that it is not all about the money in this scenario. Take a look at how labcorp treats people, it's about respect and a voice and a way to stand up to the bullying tactics

Funny the bullying goes from the east to west coast. Maybe DK and LS should really look who they put in these high profile positions and resize it starts from the top which leads me to believe they are bullies as well. Union will help the front line- remember that yes we all like money but being treated well and not being bullied will go along way. The union is brought in when the folks who are being bullied need a voice and some relief. A happy worker provides a lot better service than one who is being screamed at all day! I say they need a union for multiple reasons, LC will never change and look at you as a number that can be relaxed they don't care about you.

Bottom line is, the front line managers are probably good people when they start and then after filling out a million redundant forms and go to their managers or the division for help that is when they start getting molded how to treat employees if they want to keep their jobs. It is a repetitive horrendous cycle and it starts at the top.. It is glaringly obvious where the problems start and end. BURLINGTON
 


















Well one good thing about this is LC will attract better phlebs to apply for a job here. Because let me tell you I know first hand that about 40% of our phlebs suck in southern Ca. I field calls all day long regarding complaints about the stupid things they do. It is constant! They can't even read a requisition correctly and leave off half the tests. Don't even try to deny it because you know it's true. I say bring on the union and let's get some better employees!

The union will ensure that none of those bad employees will ever lose their jobs and they will be empowered to screw up even more now that they are protected by the union. Good luck selling union labor medical services to physicians. Last time I checked, they don't wear blue collars.

If Labcorp " management " didn't treat thier employees like dirt ( all employees ) they would attract quality people and the "bad " employees just might become great employees.

Major class action lawsuit brewing. It's coming. Lab Corp will be paying and you'll be reading about it soon. Major cash coming to the plaintiffs. It's long overdue. You can join too. Stay tuned!!!

I said this weeks ago on this board and people replied i was a moron.... Of course lawyers are going to get in on this! Labcorp has been so blatant and obvious in their bullying tactics that it will be a slam dunk for former employees and lawyera to win. I think it will go steps futher though and civil cases will surface as well

really?? Just stop! LC treats good employees very well. You other losers have to blame someone else. Look at yourself in the mirror everyday. Sadly most of you are 20 something years old. Grow up and do your job because seriously I am tired of cleaning up your messes!

Yes it will be harder to fire bad employees but it's not like the old days where it was impossible. LC and their attorneys will follow protocol and employees will either do their jobs or be gone. Also phlebs can say goodbye to bonus money. LC does not have to pay that. They get so much per hr and that's it. Good luck paying those union dues.. It will eat up most of your "raise". It's going to be interesting!
