1992, ALPA take concessions and then all the non-union workers at U lose there vacation, sick time, OJI bank. 40% of the full time workers down graded to part-time, mass layoffs, pensions frozen, hours cut from 40 to 25 hours, lose family coverage when downgraded, forced to pay $300 a month for insurance, where was ALPA then?
During the cooling off period, pilots clean planes when Uility does not show up due to working short handed.
1992 Mechanic and Related Stirke, AFA honors picket line, judge orders them to work.
ALPA makes secret deal with company not to honor the picket line and all pilots will get paid regardless if they fly or not. US grounds all the F28s, F100s, DC-9s, and MD-80s, all pilots get paid. Some pilots even come in on their own time to clean airplanes and run parts.
Karma, ALPA brought this upon themselves, let them solve it themselves. I for one remember 1992.
