Right,
We should take any pay raise offered because:
The entire economy will collapse tomorrow.
As Fleet service workers we are unskilled, unmotivated, perform valueless duties, have the lowest injury rate of any industrial environment, and have no significant effect on the operation as a whole.
Just because Fleet Service is paying millions into the IAM under the pretext of fair representation doesn’t mean that we are actually entitled to such representation . Complete disregard of industry averages is fine as long as it suits the mechanics union leaders and the feces covered noses of their disciples.
In all seriousness,
Thank God for the NC members who abstained from signing off on an abortion of a proposal. I have watched 3 individuals whom I once considered friends have their heads completely turned once they were exposed to the environment of the negotiating process. JR you would do well to look hard at the current status of Mr. Cioffi and Bonar. It might be that when you sell your soul, things in life tend to degrade. In case you weren’t aware
(or don’t care) you are generally viewed as a traitor here at home. Do you even remember really being part of us, our working conditions, or what working on the ramp is actually like? I know, I know, you are only doing what’s best for your family ( and whatever Canale tells you ). You , like the two who preceded you, have squandered a prime opportunity to make a real difference for those who really need it most.
It’s a damn shame.
I’ll keep your seat in hell (next to mine) warm.
