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

[WorldTraveler]

It's a given that DL will pay any price to maintain autocracy. Having to go back and "own" that would be like having to own a post about the sun rising in the east.

thank you for having the conviction to repost.

and if DL loses that autocracy which a union would provide and you are dying to see happen, what is the economic advantage for DL to continue to pay its people so well?

the answer is absolutely none.

you can hold onto the pilots coattails and Trainer workers but the reality is that DL doesn't have any economic reason to continue to pay current non-contract workers premiums if they choose a union.

average pay will work just fine... just as it does with AA and UA.

and stalled out negotiations at WN until their people fall to industry average works for them too.

and again, DL's non-contract people have been riding the coattails of organized labor without paying dues and with the threat (there's your threat, Kev) to the company of unionizing
 
when the non-contract employees decide to unionize, they will be treated by the rules of the market which says that there is no shortage of people willing to do contract work at far lower wages than DL rampers make.
 
You seem to HOPE - and there is no evidence in fact - that DL will treat its rampers and FAs - for whom there are many lower cost alternatives - the same as they have treated pilots for which is an industry shortage.   
 
there is no rational economic reason why any non-contract DL employee would give up a system that works for them only to chase a HOPE that is not based on reality.

Funny if it works why are cards being signed?

Exactly.

They said "give it a chance." We did. It's not working. Time to try something different.

 

[WorldTraveler]

no you didn't, Kevin
 
tell us ANY 3 month period when you stopped posting pro-union, anti-company material even on this site.
 
You can't and you won't because you have never stopped.
 
you came to DL with the intention of implanting NW's contentious culture at DL. 
 
There is a reason why remnants of NW's identity exist SOLELY in a museum and NW's  Board recognized that the merger would succeed ONLY if NW's identity was eradicated. 
 
If you and your peers want to bring back the IAM which was voted out in one election after the other, including at NW maintenance before DL was ever part of the story, then the cost will be the highest total compensation which DL employees have enjoyed  compared to AA and UA employees and the fastest growth in compensation of any US airlines.
 
if you want to cut your pay to NW levels in order to make you feel better about coming to work, go for it. 
 
I feel pretty certain that when the NMB actualy verifies if there are enough valid cards to call an election, DL will make it very clear what is really at stake

"Boeing South Carolina teammates have done what so many people said couldn't be done. And they did it by working together, engaging every day, and truly committing themselves to the success of our site," said Beverly Wyse, Boeing South Carolina's newly appointed vice president and general manager. "And let's be really clear, the IAM was not part of this success – it was our BSC teammates. In fact, the IAM aggressively opposed it, as publicly demonstrated by their filing of a claim with the National Labor Relations Board, to try to keep our site from even opening. Now, simply by filing this petition, the same union that tried to take our jobs and our work, has already begun to divide our team at a time when we're just beginning to gel and catch a solid rhythm in production."

Boeing firmly believes that a union is not in the best interest of Boeing South Carolina teammates and their families, their communities, and the state of South Carolina, especially after years of the IAM insulting the abilities of Boeing South Carolina teammates and fighting against BSC's success.

"We think our Boeing South Carolina teammates deserve to pave their own future and keep their hard-earned money in their own pockets," said Wyse

DL and Boeing do share lots in common.

Momentum!

 

[WorldTraveler]

indeed... the possibility of two defeats is something to consider.
 
any word on fraudulent signatures at the Boeing plant?

 

[700UW]

Funny how you don't hear that anymore at DL.

Third: UA Contract, negotiated by the best of the best, the Top Guns of the IAM...

 

[WorldTraveler]

probably because DL has delivered the list to the NMB.
 
funny how we aren't hearing of a date for an election.
 
If it were so easy, it would have happened quite some time ago.

Who said it was easy?

Nothing of value ever is...
