Delta Labor Relations thread.

And what happens if the union tells the company to pound sand?

Apparently the company doesn't care if a union (like say AMFA @ NW) tells them to pound sand, when another union (like the IAM @ NW) is willing to cross that picket line!

So much for "Union Brotherhood".....

And what happens if the union tells the company to pound sand? It's not like the employee can just make unilateral changes...

You guys do know that, right?

BTW, how does that same discussion go at DL? Oh wait; there is no discussion. Never mind...

Its not like the union has any real leverage. The union will either grieve it, which goes nowhere, do nothing, or cave.

That's not how it works.

It's not a leverage issue at all. The company can "discuss" changes all they want. With an agreement in place, no changes can be made without a vote. There's nothing to grieve, nor is there anything to "cave" on; the extant language stays in effect.

Meanwhile, at Delta...

Don't be mad that you were duped by the NoWayIAM crowd. It happens...

But if/when you ever decide to actually learn how collective bargaining works, just ask.

Im not mad, on the contrary, happy as a clam.
 
Got the single biggest increase ever without a union.
 
So there's that.

 

[Kev3188]

Great.

Still doesn't change the fact that you took the ball and ran...

...the wrong way...

Another of those silly meaningless things you say, that means nothing to me, or anyone.

 

[Kev3188]

And yet you responded.
 
Keep telling yourself whatever you need to...

Did you do the honorable union thing and return your pay increase in solidarity?
 
No you didnt did you?
 
What does that tell you?

 

[Kev3188]

Why would I do that? We earned that increase.

 

[townpete]

You didnt earn it through a contract.
 
I seen many of the pro union people (including you) make all kinds of disgusting and snide comments about the increase, yet non of them refused to take it.
 
Why is that?

 

[Kev3188]

You'll have to ask one of them.

And after that, maybe you can ask them how "discussions" go regarding language in CBAs outside of negotiations.

Again, what "Difference Does It Really Make" that it's in writing, when what's in that writing is CRAP to begin with?

They kicked WT off for being annoying, how did they miss you?



NAILED IT!
