On Oct 9 American Airlines sent out a notice via its internal newswire “Jetwire†that if they don’t use their perfect attendance certificates, which employees were told would were good for life, by December 31 of this year that they would lose them.
Employees earned these certificates by maintaining perfect attendance for a number of years. The more years the more the certificates were worth. Now once again, after the workers have lived up to their end of the bargain AA has decided not to live up to theirs.
We often hear management types here complain about employees who abuse sick time but here we see the company abusing workers who probably should have used sick but instead chose to go to work anyway so they could get these certificates.
