Not on topic but since you brought it up I have to ask...would you rather DL not offer the surplus catering to their employees? My firm there is often catering lying around as leftover from meetings and people began raising concerns about food safety and HQ wanted to put an end to the practice. I guess they can do no right it would seem.

Actually, it is much more on topic than WT's latest bout of megalomania is...
I note it only because it seems like an apt metaphor w/r/t how the company often treats it's ramp staff.
DL and all companies have time off and coverage policies which necessitate that not all requests can be granted. If there r cases where DL is violating its own policies, then u shud b on the phone.
To who? And how exactly do you think "making a call" would bring consistent application of stated company policy?
...other people can read in context
Maybe you should join 'em.
Those so called "bad-apples" aren't putting a dent on the ass kicking performance DL is on. Look at the PMNW hubs and maybe HQ can learn about running a lean, highly efficeint hub.
Right? Remember
"we're taking the best from both worlds?" How's that working out for ya?
Please don't make the mistake that most anti-labor folks make about work performance by represented versus nonrepresented employees.
It's an easy (and intellectually lazy) meme to adopt.
Believe it or not, just because I don't care for many of DL employee policies, I want the company to thrive.
Of course you do. So do I. That's an inconvenient truth that most anti-labor people try to avoid... Much easier to frame it as an us vs. them model.
The simple fact is that DL is no less committed to PMDL vs PMNW hubs and has been just as willing to make adjustments to each where necessary.
Who said anything about "commitment?"
BTW, I am not anti-labor. I am for good results and for common sense.
Then you should recognize what 'Lifer is saying. The truth is, many of the policies we're now forced to endure do NOT make for good results, or at best, we get good results
despite them. Most are tea-in-the-ocean in nature. ALL add up to meaningful change.
The difference between competitors will be on service. Like I said earlier, having a career-minded group with a vested interested in our company's future will only make that gap between us and the rest of the industry larger.
You can sit and stamp your feet all day in this little corner of the interwebs. Fact is, it's people like 'Lifer and I that are making that success a reality while you sit in the stands. That we both are delivering consistently positive results for our employer while rejecting your anti labor narrative out of hand is just the "icing on the cake."
Enjoy the view.
