American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

[ALUS78]

That’s true, but maybe more importantly, they have zero interest in paying for some just because “that’s the way it’s always been done.” On the other hand, if they see value in it, they’ll be the first in line to pay; just don’t be surprised when they want to use Venmo or Square.

I'll admit I shake my head at today's youth.Parents fault I believe anyhow I believe if an elder statesman such as the Weez talks to them and tells them what they stand to lose Applying some peer pressure they will come up with the money

 

[NYer]

I said lack of a better word how about more to lose

Not at all.

 

[ALUS78]

Not at all.

Then you are not who I think you are

 

[ALUS78]

Not at all.

You don't stand to lose $31,000 ?

 

[WeAAsles]

Then you are not who I think you are

Uh huh.

 

[ALUS78]

Uh huh.

Confused

 

[NYer]

You don't stand to lose $31,000 ?

Do you know why the pay stipends?

 

[ALUS78]

Do you know why the pay stipends?

I would think for the work you do

 

[WeAAsles]

Do you know why the pay stipends?

Do you always answer a question with a question?

Why don’t you just answer his original question?

Otherwise silence speaks volumes.

 

[WeAAsles]

I would think for the work you do

Because he was voted a $13,000 raise from last year without informing his Members first.

But Al I doubt you really need any lessons in Capitalism.

 

[ALUS78]

Do you know why the pay stipends?

I also remember Weez was not too happy the way you received it.Enough to make him opt out of dues we shall see

Sometimes he answers like a Magic 8 ball

Confused

On the TWU side, the Local Presidents get their regular 40 hours paid by the airline.

It doesn't include any extra hours, no OT, no HW and those that work more than 40 hours on the Field also lose on the 401K match. The stipend helps to offset that.

Then how does he say he has nothing to lose

He doesn't know what happens because he doesn't go to union meetings, but it was disclosed. Twice.

All the stipends were adjusted, but he just chooses to focus on one.
