Listen to what this senior member of management tells us about Prefunding when they were trying to sell the contract. at 2.42.
The company has refused to give us the company half as Ream clearly stated. Instead they said "arbitrate it". In fact this new management team does whatever it wants, blatantly violating our contract and says "Arbitrate it". Not only have they held the Prefunding funds , but they have reneged on the Gain Sharing plan and taken back the Profit Sharing (although Jim Little agreed to give up profit sharing) . More recently we see where the company refused to pay guys when the authorities closed not only the Airport but the roads going to the Airport, The company in a recorded message told the people to stay home, and the people were told they would be paid just as they were before, even when the company was in Bankruptcy. Why did the company pay us TE in Bankruptcy, because they agreed that the language of our contract compelled them to do so. Now that they are making Seven Billion a year in Profits they changed their minds, what is wrong with these people?
This is a management team that acts like immature children in that they lie and do whatever they feel they can get away with. Violating long standing contractual agreements and practices because the know that the RLA prohibits an immediate response from the Union. Sometimes I wonder if they are just playing with fire and trying to see how much they can abuse their employees before things ignite, then when they do come back and say "Aw c'mon fellas, we were just kidding". Whatever the reason, its immature, antagonistic, unprofessional and unwarranted. The RLA as written (if not enforced) expects better behavior on the part of the employer as well. Its no wonder that Delta fired many of these people.
