CWA Board Clears the Way for Possible Strike By US Airways Passenger Service Agents

11/30/2004

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Communications Workers of America's national executive board voted unanimously to authorize strike action by 6,000 passenger service agents against US Airways, clearing the way for CWA's president to set a strike date.

The passenger agents earlier this month voted by 86 percent to authorize a strike against the airline in a membership referendum.

Meanwhile, CWA negotiators are continuing to meet this week with US Airways management in an attempt to reach a new labor settlement. The airline has demanded devastating pay and benefit concessions from the agents and has petitioned the bankruptcy judge to throw out their union contract.

Abrogation of the contract would allow the agents to strike or engage in other job actions.

"The Scab" by Jack London

"After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a scab."
"A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water brain, a
combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, a scab carries a tumor of rotten principles."
"When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep it out."
"No man (or woman) has a right to scab so long as there is a pool of water to drown its carcass in, or a rope long enough to hang its body with. Judas was a gentleman compared with a scab. For betraying his master, he had character enough to hang himself." A scab has not.
"Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Judas sold his Savior for thirty pieces of silver. Benedict Arnold sold his country for a promise of a commision in the british army." The scab sells his birthright, country, his wife, his children and his fellowmen for an unfulfilled promise from his employer.
Esau was a traitor to himself; Judas was a traitor to his God; Benedict Arnold was a traitor to his country; a scab is a traitor to his God, his country, his family and his class."

Author --- Jack London (1876-1916)
NO SCABS!
