Effective dates will be either September 1 or October 1 for United Services employees, and November 1 for Airport Operations employees who are approved for the program. The last day of employment for participants will be August 31, September 30 and October 31, respectively.

Well I guess this is the IBTs first test.

Only 8 more months till you can file to go back to AMFA if they dont deliver.

Instead of bringing jobs back in house more jobs are being eliminated.

The Early out package doesnt have much, will the IBT be able to squeeze a little more out of UAL?

Well I guess this is the IBTs first test.

Their first test was the 'promised' Teamsters pension. They failed
2nd test was the promise to reopen the contract, the company said 'NO'. They failed again

Only 8 more months till you can file to go back to AMFA if they dont deliver.

JMHO,
Who is going to organize?
The UAL M&R are too fractionalized and the organizers are pretty fed up with them.
They wanted the teamsters, let em have it!

Instead of bringing jobs back in house more jobs are being eliminated.

IMHO, Nope :down:
