Ridiculous. If it doesn't passes, you get nothing knowing the big changes come with a Joint deal. The longer that out if off the further progress stays away. Your transparent attempt to cause negativity only hurts those you supposedly advocate for.Tim Nelson said:
Pat, you can't claim pay raises for wage progressons. What is wrong with you? What you should have done is stuck to your word by making the wage progression fair. But you didn't even bother with that at all and didn't even bother tweaking it. Sorry Pat but a 13th year to top out is a joke. You walked away and instead of addressing it, you said, "We will get'm next time'. Puh leeeassseeeeeeee!P. REZ said:

You know PHX not to knock your idea but well I'm not too crazy about it. The thing is that were not kids anymore and the whole idea of giving me prizes to work harder just doesn't sit well with me. The first thing that came across my mind when I read your idea was the trained monkey dancing for the organ grinder hoping to get a banana.PHXConx said:
i think a little healthy competition is a good thing, many fortune 500 companies do similar things... we already have score cards about the hubs, why not reward success when its due?WeAAsles said:
Honestly, how can anyone really call this TA a great thing? The wage was a 3% increase over the last two years for anyone not topped out. They lied out their arses about everything else and ended up agreeing with management to keep the bankrupt agreement going. No new holidays, no new vacation for anyone unless you have 25 years, still pegged us with half sick time. Lied about bringing our pension back up to where it was and finally submitted to management to only give us a dime. A effing dime? Are you impressed with $51 a month? I hope you aren't part time either because you would get a whopping $36 a month now IF the IAM doesn't discredit you for not working 31 hours. They agreed with management to forget about the wage progression scale and it still takes the 13th year to get to top out. No profit sharing but we knew that. The only thing that they actually negotiated was they exchanged our work in several stations so the TWU members can work our work, for the scope for the 12 or so stations that need it. That I can understand just to cover the folks we have but it was a cost neutral exchange and those stations should thank the stations that will be cross utilized for subsidizing things for them. They bypassed a fence agreement and took away our exclusive rights to the work but, again, I understand that but other than tossing in the "See Management" health care so us topped out guys can get a 10% wage, and the scope exchange, they did nothing. The only cost positive negotiations they did was bump the union positive space up to 7 union officials instead of 5. The bankruptcy is 10 years ago and this is now the second IAM contract and we still have half sick time, no more holidays, a wage that is still the lowest among legacies, and "See Management" health care, and a wage progression to the 13th year, part timers getting hosed and subsidizing topped out workers pay/health. I mean, c'mon maaannnnn! What exactly were they planning to strike over? This TA could have been had the first week of negotiations.PHXConx said:
