CWA Members Ratify Concessions by a slim margin

[Severed-N-Happy]

those numbers speak volumes..Imagine the next time the good hands people ask, errr..make that, demand, more money and jobs...say maybe around April?(Good Friday would be appropriate for symbolism's sake)

All that matters is that the ratification passed. Congratulations to the members for making your vote count.

ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Communications Workers of America (CWA), which represents US Airways' passenger service workers, today ratified a new agreement in support of the company's cost- cutting efforts. The vote was 1938-1933 in favor of the agreement.
"Today's vote by our CWA employees to make additional sacrifices to help US Airways achieve profitability is an extremely critical part of our reorganization plan. Each and every one of them faced an extremely difficult choice and I personally thank them for their resolve in ratifying this agreement," said US Airways President and Chief Executive Officer David Siegel.

Fromm WWW.CWA.NET

Washington, D.C. – Members of the Communications Workers of America at US Airways have approved proposed modifications to their contract at the airline. This is the second round of concession demands by US Airways. Agents approved an earlier round of contract changes in September in which they contributed $460 million in pay and benefits to help the airline.
The final tally was 50.1 percent to approve the changes and 49.9 percent to reject them. Voting by US Airways agents was directed by the American Arbitration Association in an Internet and telephone process

Amen, this is fraud.....going to call my lazy cwa rep on Monday, because as he has stated, He has the greatest job now.....still an employee with us, but he would be working nights, maybe stuck in baggage....He advised me paid cell phone, his own office and by the looks of him unlimited meals.......spoke to him about what happened last time and of course he said it would be cleared up......He is the one that advised me he wasn't looking out for the employees, cwa is looking for new members......
