Carty Resurfaces

[TIME FOR CHANGE]

Maybe the unions need to start lobbying efforts to deny Virgin America a certificate?

Whats in it for us union folks.

What's in it for you union folks?...

Someday, perhaps when it's too late, y'all will realize that the likes of Branson, Needleman, and now Carty, have always been the biggest threat to your continued employment. If you put a quarter of the energy into fighting other airlines that you do fighting your own management, there wouldn't be carriers like Jetblue or Airtran.

Are we now saying that Carty acted alone in his final act of greed and the rest, including Aprey, Garton and the like knew nothing of it and were completely unaware of their individual SERPs? If these individuals were such the stellar role model bosses, wouldn't you think they would be breaking the SERP story and not the Wall Street Journal?

Yea right.

Management picked this fight, not the workers. Perhaps if management had used their size and the advantages that their size brings to fight those start ups then there wouldnt be carriers like Jetblue and Airtan.

The fact is those carriers are the best thing that ever happened to management, they help these guys lower costs. Once they feel they have squeeezed all they can they will do the same thing to Jet Blue and Airtran that they did to Laker, Capitol, Peoples Express etc etc.

What working people need to do is get everyone in one union, set the rates, establish industry seniority, then when an entrant like Jet Blue comes on the scene agressively organize. Workers will join because even if Jet Blue dissappears they have a future due to industry seniority.

I've always believed being hired out of a hall was more condusive to solidarity than the present system. Your loyalty is to the local, not the employer. Boycotts and labor actions have teeth when the co. doesn't know your whole life.
