Delta Labor Relations thread.

Do they have the ability to transfer into ATL?

 

Nope...

 
Unless I'm missing something, doesn't it seems kind of strange to not allow these folks to transfer to ATL - IF they are hiring there?

Example?

Cost Savings programs, have been done to prevent layoffs.
 
Clear cut bumping procedures, paid moves, also early outs have been negotiated to prevent involuntary layoffs.
 
When I got displaced in TPA, I could bump into any station as long as my seniority could hold it, same as when I was in stores in CLT, got displaced, bumped to where I wanted to go, not where a company told me I had too.
 
No furlough clauses in CBAs have stopped airlines from laying off before.
 
PMUS M&R CBA company has to maintain a minimum headcount in base maintenance between CLT and PIT.  Also has a list of protected line maintenance stations that the company cannot close.
 
PMUS and PMAA have scope language which protects what work the company can outsource.

Sometimes the exercise in seniority (and ripple effects) make a reduction in force more costly than keeping a workforce in place/intact.

TownPete's correct in that a union does not control business decisions like flight activity, but is inaccurate in asserting that being represented doesn't mitigate the impact of said moves.

Thanks for the reply.
I can see cost savings programs and early outs as a way to prevent layoffs.
 
Bumping - that still results in somebody junior being displaced for an old-timer, but I guess that's how union seniority system work.

When DL downsized MEM, those employees were allowed to go anywhere on the system with an opening. That's not happening this time around. Why the inconsistency?

 

[Kev3188]

Separately, a lot of line stations have their "heavy" GSE inventory (air starts, heat/air carts, device trucks, etc.) maintained by CVG mechanics. They do great work, and I hope that program both stays and insulates them from the chopping block a little bit.

 

[700UW]

Dont forget about the no furlough clauses and protected stations.

 

[Kev3188]

Of course!

History tells otherwise.

History tells otherwise.

Show us how it does?
 
I can give you clear cut prime examples, where history supports the facts, which are correct, unlike you.

Actually, she can. She's willfully choosing not to in order to wind you up.

DOL takes on IAM pension plan, trustees
 
DOL filed suit against the International Order of Machinists National Pension Fund and its board of trustees for multiple violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
 
According to DOL, the trustees—Robert Roach, Warren Mart, Burton Trebour, Alfred Nelson, Lynn Tucker, Philip Gruber, Gary Allen, Robert Martinez Jr., and Thomas Connery—breached their fiduciary duty by failing to prudently select fund service providers, including consultants and fund investment managers; ignoring required procedures included in the fund’s governing plan documents; creating conflicts of interest for the fund; unlawfully soliciting and accepting gratuities from plan service providers; and spending and permitting others to spend fund assets lavishly on unnecessary trips, parties and extravagant food, wine, and accommodations.

Thats nice.
 
Im placing it here to remind 700 and the others how corrupt his organization is.
 
And will continue to do so despite you and the others best efforts to spin their way out of it.
