Is it time for economics to kick in at NWA? Supply and Demand rules and Scabs are leaving NWA at what I consider an alarming rate. They are headed for a contract in Connecticut working a strike for Sikorsky. Reports coming back say that there are a bunch of AMFA Boys there as well. Is this possible? AMFA Boys that refuse to cross their own picket line but will cross another unions picket line? Who is the union at Sikorsky and what is this strike over? Is NWA going to increase the pay rate for the mechanics or are they going to continue to lose mechanics to this contract? I know of three that have their paperwork in and are waiting for their security clearances. It has been awhile since we have lost some top-notch mechanics and just in the past week we have lost three. I really do hate to see these next three leave as well. The unemployment benefits for the AMFA Boys ran out this month for most here in Michigan, will this spur them to cross the line and return to NWA thus keep NWA from having to increase their pay rates to retain mechanics? The next few weeks should be interesting.
