Fast Track Courier Pyt Ltd. has undergone many organizational changes but has also faced resistance on the part of the employees. When changing the technology of the company and including GPS systems and PDA devices to improve the working of the drivers and help them navigate easily through the route, the drivers felt hesitant as they thought that the company didn’t trust them. Also removing their companion drivers and using automatic lift gate forced them to go on strike as they were happy working with companions. Expanding their fleet of trucks by 8 they are trying to capture the Sydney market and offer their customers shorter delivery times.
