Business Ethics

As part of US Airways' response to the changing business landscape and new laws enacted to enhance corporate accountability, the company will soon begin briefings for all employees on the updated Business Conduct and Ethics guidelines.

A copy of the newly revised policy, which contains real-life examples of potential violations, was mailed to all employees' homes in December. The updated policy is also available on theHub. To ensure company-wide awareness, Corporate Learning and Development has developed a one-hour briefing session for all employees.

The session includes a 20-minute video with scenarios that illustrate ethical and unethical behavior. According to Rose Serino, director of Corporate Learning and Development, briefings for front-line operating groups and their management will be handled by their respective training departments.

Other management employees and administrative representatives will attend sessions delivered by Corporate Learning and Development.

The goal is to have everyone, other than pilots and flight attendants, attend a session by May 31. Employees in the flight operations and inflight departments will receive the information as they attend recurrent training. More information will be provided to each department as dates, times, and locations are confirmed.

From the Policy:(just for you usfliboi)

You are prohibited from identifying yourself as a Company employee when posting comments on the Internet or on other on-line services. This rule applies even if a statement is included that clearly states that the user is expressing his or her own ideas and not necessarily those of the Company. This rule also applies where such posting is done from your personal equipment. Internet traffic sent via Company resources is generally identifiable as being from a Company employee. Therefore, participation in Internet newsgroups and the like via Company facilities is prohibited.
 
Yet another act of intimidation to silence the critics. If management was indeed labor friendly <_< then no such policy would be required. Would it :p ???
 
As we discussed at length on a thread a while back, such a policy is common at most if not all major firms of all sizes.
 
Sure they are. But the point is that U-S Airways never had threatened enforcement until Dave Lorenzo came to town :down:
 
Maybe it's a complement? The korporate ( sic ) party line feeling genuinely threatened?

First they try to ignore you.....

Then they laugh at you...........

Then they try to shut you up...
 
:eek: Aint that the truth. They just want everyone to shut up. Kinda reminds of our current political administration!!! Y I K E S, US is a scarey place to work! :down:
 
Just a standard business practice to minimize risk of all sorts of problems including accusations of insider trading/stock pumping..(as if there was much to pump)

They aren't saying that employees can't communicate, just that they can't identify themselves as U employees.
 
There is no such thing as "ethics" in business and especially not to the current crop of corporate leadership. There is ONLY what LEGAL AND WHAT'S NOT LEGAL and by extension . . what they can get away with and what they can't . . . legally or illegally. That's why there are so many high priced lawyers employed by corporations. If corporate leaders had strong sense of ethics, they wouldn't need to spend such large portions of the company treasure on lawyers. And they might even have decent labor relations.
