Our drivers voted for a union to help them. Wonder what this means for us? What do they know that we don't?

Heard this today as well. Do not think it is the end of quest but will drive much change
eventually will spread to other areas, billing, customer service.....
That is something our leaders must be very concerned about. Many of those groups will be waiting to see what kind of deal the union will be able to get for the drivers first.
The drivers will be replaced with independent contractors, similar to Amazon Prime. As always, contingency plans were in place and regardless of the outcome, Quest Diagnostics always prevails. The drivers will lose their lucrative benefits and and status within the organization. Further consolidation will cost many of them their jobs. It’s difficult to have sympathy for them. It was a massive overreach for a group that was more than fairly compensated.
What are you smoking...Quest prevails???
In this case the union kicked their butt scoring an overwhelming majority of votes, not even close.
I don't think anyone thinks of their wages as lucrative....perhaps with union help they might move in that direction.
Big issue here is the leadership does not share the wealth. only the burdens. Quest is poster child for pay inequity. Times are changing.
Keep dreaming, son. Perhaps it hasn’t occurred to you, but getting your way isn’t always a personal victory. Fast food workers thought they wanted $15 an hour, until they quickly lost their jobs to automation. Third party, independent contractor staffed drivers, without benefits, will replace overly compensated Quest employees. And Quest will ultimately benefit. You and your kind are your own worst enemies. Hope this helps.

The real enemy is corporate greed and poor leadership. Think of all the layers of VPs, and directors that don't impact patients and have no value. Think of the dollars spent without impact or return. Getting some of those dollars into the hands of those that impact the business makes sense.
Yet another post from Mr. know it all who does not know what he is talking about. You always react to other's post and nothing original. Do you really think that it would be as easy as just hiring third party drivers because there is a little more to it than just picking up specimens and throwing them in the back of a van.
I’m sure that the courier position looks highly complicated to someone like you, but believe it or not, there’s actually a large pool of candidates who are qualified to drive around in a car and pick up specimens. I would also explain how contract labor works, but your your pea brain is obviously already working beyond it’s capacity. Hope this helps.
You are a hypocrite of the absolute highest order.
"...beyond it's capacity"???????
try "beyond its capacity".
Or better, just try getting lost you troll.

Ummmm yeah sometimes you may have to actually remember where you parked the van!Yet another post from Mr. know it all who does not know what he is talking about.

Cutbacks, take aways, poor leadership.....company got what it deserved.
And now the drivers will get collectively bargained right out of their jobs. Good riddance ingrates. No one is on your side. No one cares about your stupid wages.
