Thanks for the kind words. Canale's negotiations team was split on this dreadful contract so he eliminated two of them since he needed an unanimous vote. That's what Canale does. We will most likely be in receipt of letter 'soon' from negotiations members who were 'booted' just to get the TA.
Further, I'm going to the meeting in PIT. MW disrespected me as the ORD Local Chairman and instead invited someone else from ORD to attend the meeting but ORD is tighter than two coats of paint and his bid failed. I'm going and I want to see Canale kick me out of the meting like he kicked out two of our fine negotiators. This bum is out of control. I'll be there one way or the other as the representative, duly recognized by the great local 1487.
This guy Canale is stuck at about $19 buck even as Continental just announced last week that it will give its rampers a 2% pay raise that brings them up to $20.43. Morons, we got morons on our team. Continental pay raise, click
