6.3 billion and none for you!
 
almost 1 year and 2 months since EVERYONE but association members got a 4% raise and almost 9 months since the fix was in on the association. and we still have nothing to show for our sacrifices. nothing but empty promises. nothing.
 
 
6.3 BILLION AND WE SEE NOTHING.

company repurchases stock so they can distribute it to themselves. when you exit bankruptcy you distribute all stock. its like a shell game.
 
and again we have seen NOTHING but excuses and delays and swinging carrots. it we get an update on negotiations that is bullshit, time to move on and seek different representation. pathetic simply pathetic.

i.e. everyone but association members. they are easy they just dream about it. we dangle a carrot and they believe.

Buying back more shares because they believe the value of those shares is worth it.

Talking about shares not being worth fair value.

Talking to the investors about the hardships employees have gone through and that the investors don't like the fact that employees are being restored.

Paid down all high cost debt in the company. Borrowing at 4% and saving cash is the right thing to do for shareholders. Right way to manage the cash generated by the company. Borrowing well below investor rates.

Has a different view then competitors.

Restricted would mean not being used because it's earmarked for something else.

Now if you don't mind I'd rather pay attention to what they have to say rather than you. Nothing personal.

Uh, for those who don't know how restricted cash works... those holdbacks are to comply with Workers Compensation claims and liabiities.... not for your future paychecks.
