While I will abide by the mods wishes and keep fleet and AMT seperate, I wan't to second what one of the AMT's said over on their thread.
Many of us are over 50 and each day is costlng us dearly. Money added to my 401k (per the raise we have not recieved), extra savings I can be putting away (from the raise I have not received) obviously I could go on and on...but do they not realize many of us are closer to retirement than not. There is ABSOLUTELY no excuse, NONE for them not to already had proposals exchanged, or at least damn near it. The Association has not followed through on one single promise they made pre or post merger. Lomabardo has done nothing more than send AA letters in a apologetic tone as to if they don't mind, could they please tell us why no prefunding yet. If it's not too much trouble could you kindly explain why my members have not received the 4% raise like most other work groups. I can only imagine what they will say when the Association puts out the DELTA PLUS 7 Delta plus 3 letter telling is why...And whoever sent that email out didn't make me feel better about the situation, it actually made me feel alot more skeptical. It was nothing more than a "this why you shouldn't expect the plus 7". That should be completely different than all the other items, even Parker said as much...nothing in exchange for the raise!
And by the way email sender, I'm not a negative spinner, I'm a realist in search of transparency and facts!
