Grassroots Efforts at DL for ACS and FAs, no personal attacks.

[700UW]

From a DL FA:
 
Just to let everyone know--PBS has been down for several hours along with parts of DLNET. If you are trying to bid, it has just come back up. I have called the supervisors at ICC to let them know and don't bother to call them. I did and Faye, the first person I spoke with, laughed when I told her that the extension to 12 should be extended further with the time outage that had occurred around 6 pm west coast time. She laughed and laughed. I was not amused that she was amused. ....and you know where this is going....her supervisor, Dewayne Higdon, is suppose to call me tomorrow asap. I know Dewayne from DFW. Great guy. Now he can explain why Faye thinks not being able to bid is funny; why Faye doesn't have a last name; why Faye can't give out her employee number even though she has my last name and employee number and an employee number is only good within a company; why Faye doesn't think it's necessary to have IT know about an outage and lastly why Eddie did such a great job listening and understanding what I was reporting (a new outage) and he didn't think it was funny but wanted to make sure that IT knew about it.

"A lot of talk has been going around lately about the IAM and how if we elect them as our voice, instant change would happen. We would get large raises, "better" work rules, and better insurance. However, research shows this not to be the case."
Zach Farren – NYC

"I started my career as a flight attendant at Continental, where I was represented by the IAM … After almost seven years of seniority, I made the decision to leave the divisive culture of Continental and come to Delta. My quality of life improved instantly, and I am better off here at Delta as a new hire than I ever was in my seven years at Continental. "

Research shows being unionized the workers earn more and enjoy a better quality of life, I guess Zach better not give up his FA job at DL.

 
Unions have a substantial impact on the compensation and work lives of both unionized and non-unionized workers. This report presents current data on unions’ effect on wages, fringe benefits, total compensation, pay inequality, and workplace protections.
 
Some of the conclusions are:

• Unions raise wages of unionized workers by roughly 20% and raise compensation, including both wages and benefits, by about 28%.
• Unions reduce wage inequality because they raise wages more for low- and middle-wage workers than for higher-wage workers, more for blue-collar than for white-collar workers, and more for workers who do not have a college degree.
• Strong unions set a pay standard that nonunion employers follow. For example, a high school graduate whose workplace is not unionized but whose industry is 25% unionized is paid 5% more than similar workers in less unionized industries.
• The impact of unions on total nonunion wages is almost as large as the impact on total union wages.
• The most sweeping advantage for unionized workers is in fringe benefits. Unionized workers are more likely than their nonunionized counterparts to receive paid leave, are approximately 18% to 28% more likely to have employer-provided health insurance, and are 23% to 54% more likely to be in employer-provided pension plans.
• Unionized workers receive more generous health benefits than nonunionized workers. They also pay 18% lower health care deductibles and a smaller share of the costs for family coverage. In retirement, unionized workers are 24% more likely to be covered by health insurance paid for by their employer.
• Unionized workers receive better pension plans. Not only are they more likely to have a guaranteed benefit in retirement, their employers contribute 28% more toward pensions.
• Unionized workers receive 26% more vacation time and 14% more total paid leave (vacations and holidays).

Then why did CO have the best pay out of the legacy carriers under the IAM CBAs?
 
And I was on the CO IAM FA NC in 2005, witnessed no such thing and CO Management including the SR VP of Inflight were a pleasure to deal with.

IAM'S Failed Promise To TWA!
 

More lies, the IAM kept TW in business longer than they should have.
 
And AA made EVERY union at TW give up their LPPs or TW would have gone out of business, and the APFA renigged on the agreement for seniority.

Tell the truth, or are you taking lessons from World Fraudster?
 
And the IAM spent over $6 million in fighting for their seniority even after they werent IAM members nor paying dues to the IAM.
 
If you are going to post something at least post the truth and facts.

Profit sharing=WOW.....
I just looked at the amount.
and yes 100% went to my 401K.....
Thanks Delta and all of my fellow employees who made this happen.

I'm surprised you were able to access it. Most won't be able to until tomorrow. The company has stated they intentionally did that, so that "supervisors could surprise their employees tomorrow," (paraphrasing). That's part of why DLNet crashed earlier today.

I happen to find that sort of toying with people very off putting. We're professionals, not a bunch of 9 year olds on Christmas morning. Whatever.

At any rate, you're welcome, and thanks right back to you for doing your part. We earn(ed) every last nickel. Enjoy it.

How does 80 hours at $49.10/hr. equal $47.67/hr.?


Also, what did that NW employee in '03 pay for medical? What did the '03 DL employee pay compared to today? How 'bout the other factors that go into total compensation?
