That group is a complete sham and goes to show you who is actually against having a voice.
Look thru the members...
Many are managers/supervisors
Many aren't even Delta/NWA employees
Many are new hires (less then 1 year)
Many are EIG members
How many are left that are actually regular coke poppers like me and you?
I would say less then 1/2.
The people that have been around Delta for all those years including the "golden" years, mostly support having a voice and a contract.
I am going to quote a friend here...
Our junior flight attendants have bright fun futures ahead of them if they vote right “UNIONâ€. They will have a written contract of what they can expect to be paid, and how their seniority will grow. They are the fresh blood that we need and are just as valuable as all the rest of us. Many of them do not know the devious, ruthless greed that lurks behind those smiles, empty words, and sweet talk. I was like that once.
It is a shame when you are young and realize that you can’t take people on their word. That was a devastating blow to me as a young person.
Our new people just have to be shown the facts. Facts can’t be argued with. Then they can make up their own mind...Delta non union= short career and poor compensation, vs. Delta union=stable career and a written industry leading contract as the world’s largest.
AFA had better be put on notice RIGHT NOW that Industry leading (better than AA AND Cal’s) is the ONLY thing we will accept, and I want that out of their mouth NOW! (and we will NOT get that with out a FIGHT...just like Freedom didn’t come with out a fight!)
I think this primarily sums up why new hires are for the most part against having a union on property.
Obviously we know management is agaist us keeping our voice.
EIG members? "Employee Involvment Group"
Well...lets see, they are employees hand picked by management to "represent" my interests. Is it just me or is this a joke?
Why would EIG members side with management and help keep a union out? It should be pretty easy. They are puppets, they believe that by following the word of "daddy" Delta they will further their cause and help them move up thru the ranks of Delta.
Delta wants you to get that warm fuzzy feeling that you do have a voice, your peers of the EIG. Now, its ok that they actually have no real power...because WE listen, and WE care about you!
"Yeah I know, I know...we tried to outsource the international flying when we were at NW, but we have changed...plus this is Delta now. I know what you're thinking, all those customer service agents in Canada with 20-30 years that we sent home and outsourced their jobs, we feel really bad about that. Oh, and the Delta payroll department that we also outsourced and left those people at home, yeah we are sorry about that too. Geez...I guess all those res agents in our call centers we shut down and sent over India...hmmm...come on guys, we did it because we care. Oh yeah about the airplane maintenance...I know we laid off alot of people, but really...flying our planes to HKG for the heavy maintenance really gives our pilots a good view and is free advertising in HKG...don't you think its worth it to ship our maintenance over to HKG?
So please, as you can see...we really do care about the people of Delta and we do have your best interest at heart!"
