NE- VOTE













LCA has always run on fear - any employee knows that! Upper Management kissed ass the last few months being understanding, letting the employees do/say what they want - no one held accountable to any policy. Now they will go back to their old way and get rid of the employees that they know were pro union. Good strategy - LCA paid a lot of money for this vote. If they just gave it to the employees in the first place they never would have had this issue. BH strikes again.

A secret ballot election should offset fear, but looks like that was not the case here.
 






"Secret Ballot" ? What a laugh!!! They had employees "ratting" each other out - all management knew who was pro and con - they placed employees in the sites to "make sure" who was who. Again - a lot of promises made - they told us if you don't like what were doing you can petition again. What was not told was that we would have to wait one year from the vote. I wonder if the shareholders know how much money was spent on this for the last 9 months. Now to move into the Central and South areas. Drivers want in too. Let's see if we get a raise this year?????
 












Plumbers are special. You don't know how special they are until you need one. My family are all plumbers, we love what we do! The next time you need a plumber remember how special we are....

The one year "wait" is a federal law. The union should have been aware of that. These tactics that you describe are pretty standard in any campaign.

The good news is that often unions prevail in the second election.
 


















Neither will unpaid nurses, moron. Neither will unpaid teachers teach a class, moron.

Stop pretending these women care more than anyone else doing a job.


Any one with the ability to have a simple rational thought knows that

Women? Both women and men work in these professions. No one said anyone would work for free in this capitalistic system, although my brother a lot of pro bono work. We were raised with the sense that we have a responsibility to give back and help others who are less fortunate. No one said anyone cared anymore than anyone else. What was said was that most of us must work to make a living. Some of us work in a field because we love what we do, even though we could make more money doing something else. Many of us hate our work, but it pays the bills. A few of us are fortune enough to make loads of money doing what we love.

I have a healthy respect for those who work in those professions because as of late, they don't seem to be appreciated. Especially those who work in education. The LabCorp model is more and more becoming the system of choice. Why employ experienced well trained teachers. It is unnecessary when they have no freedom or prerogatives in the classroom. You teach the prepared lesson plan and dare not stray from it because there is no money or time for anything else. Students must pass that prepared standard test. LCA supervisors and managers are so micromanaged that well paid professionally trained managers are made unnecessary. The smart ones soon learn how to game the system by bamboozling upper management. Mindlessly following instruction. the less they care what they do and who they do it to, the quicker a they are promoted and the higher they rise. There is a name that has been coined for this phenomenon. It's called "failing upwards."
 






Heard it cost the NE almost half a million to fight the union. Those consultants and lawyers don't come cheap. Employees are all waiting for a nice raise this July. Hope they won't be disappointed - again.

And they really do feel your pain, don't they. Think about it as you realize they would rather pay those guys than you, their loyal employees. I am sure you would have been happy with a lot less than what they paid them.
 


















Hmmmm. Interesting. lol.. The NE was supposed to be the "pinnacle" but its crumbling down people. Care to place any bets on what BH, etal cost us all????? Raises? No word yet! Union - Round 2 - on a roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 












Neither is the vicious cycle of buying labs, firing all of the employees who made the lab who go off start a new lab and take their clients with them. Then buying that new lab and starting the cycle again.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

But it keeps the investment bankers in work. Poor bastidges need their bonuses.
