Okay, let''s admit that maybe our IAM representative is not the sharpest rock in the pile but every time the company assumes that he represents the collective intelligence level of the Mechanics and tries to pull a fast one it simply underlines the reason why there is no trust in them. I suppose that someone on one or both sides of the negotiating table must have thought that forcing the Mechanics to give up a weeks wages in a lump sum in order to be able to use any of their vacation days and therefore calling a 9% paycut a 7% paycut was a good idea. Maybe they thought no one would “catch onâ€. They may have also figured that having the vote the day before Thanksgiving when many people are off or out of town or on the road would be a “good ideaâ€.
Well, it’s gone over about as well as a turd in the punchbowl.
Oh and please, please spare me the “There’s no time!, You’re just going to have to quit your whining and swallow the bitter pill†crap. UAL has screwed the pooch again.
Whatever happens after this gets voted down; on December 14th, after the company reneges on the first retro payment, the IAM members will be ONE HALF BILLION DOLLARS ahead of the rest of you as far as what has been “contributed†to this ERP so far.
