You and I both know that ad will be for Baggage Handlers and CSA's if you go non-union.
Yep. :down:
OH No! they best not do something as silly as that!
if that happened, a situation of union to non-union and then contracting all the former "union" to low paid "non-union"..
Well!
would validate the need to have a union in the first place!
and it would be ..
really bad P.R.!
people more than likely at that point, would realize they were lied to and those who are left would probably unionize shortly thereafter for the sake to protect what is left to protect!
(never believing one word they say, ever again!)
* it would also create unnecessary monumental labor problems.
* it would screw over the state and vital jobs for the economy.
* it would make the labor problems at NW seem like peanuts!
(the mainline employees in their current jobs need to stay in their current jobs regardless how it plays out)
Believe it!
Dignity, you don't think outsourcing everywhere save *maybe* the hubs isn't a possibility?! Where were you in '04? Did you not see the company's proposal to the IAM (grey and black books)?
I would love to rebut your assertions in this post, Tech, except that you're dead on...
Question..concerning the jobs posted for DGS. This is for NWA people. IF the union vote goes against the union what will the majority of NWA people do? Will some quit therefore leaving job openings which this may be for.This is for Dignity and Kev...you two seem to have the pulse for NWA.
My guess (and it's just that) is that most will stay. Along with that, should the IAM prevail, I would guess most anti union folks would stay as well. Both sides will probably regroup for either another card drive or a decertification vote, depending on this one's outcome.
I thought the job postings were for Cleaners so what does that have to do with NW Ground Crew stations and the combined DAL In-Flight Service Department?
Well, for starters, cleaning is covered work under the ESSC contract. Next, why offer SLIP leaves in MSP and simultaneously be hiring people for your vendor business? I thought the leadership team was working hard to bring everything in house it could, as well as "creatively addressing staffing needs?" If there's an overage, use the people you've got (NOTE: Most of the people that would be affected are on the bottom tier of the payscale).
we are wearing their uniforms
Below wing are still rollin' the NWA uniform...
