Horton: A true Ferengi

[Crapdog]

Has anyone noticed that Horton has an eerie resemblance to the Star Trek character Ferengi ? He did an interview that nails it perfectly. Is the TWU going to submit a counter offer? Why would anyone with less than 20 years vote yes which would guarantee that they loose there job forever with no possibility of recall. I say submit a 24 dollar an hr proposal for aircraft maintenance and then take our chances with the judge and not the Ferengi.

You do realize what happens if you vote No, right?

We are going to vote yes one or another 😛h34r: hopefully little and gets us something. I'm not sure what I did to american airlines to deserve this. worse than a thrid world country ( yes I have been to third world countrys)

Look ,,, don't ,be ridiculous. Wait until they get done negotiating and see what the final is before you decide. Maybe the company's proposal will see improvements that make it acceptable. If not, then decide to vote no. We will then be without an agreement and under RLA go right back into negotiations.

Educate yourself.

If there is not agreement your CBA will be abrogated and the company impose terms, no new negotiations under the RLA will occur.

Our Union officials have been horrible through this whole ordeal. I have quit watching the local news just so I don't see our Chairman of Maintenance mumble through another interview.

Why waste time with a vote if we vote no they still get what they want but what the heck it will feel good to say Hell No one last time

Why not be a little more up front about it? There is a lot more to it than what you are stating, even from AAs own employee website.

JMHO,
If there is not an agreement your CBA will can be abrogated and the company can impose terms, no new negotiations under the RLA will occur.

Also you forgot that after abrogation, unions can seek self help.
Stick to the facts slick... 😛

 

[700UW]

Actually the courts ruled you cant seek self-help if your contract is abrogated in chapter 11, did you not read the court case involving NW and PFAA/AFA?

Obama doesn't make the rules, that would be the Federal Court system

Politics make the rules:

This dispute between the Association of Flight Attendants (“AFA”) and Northwest Airlines (“Northwest”) is situated in a peculiar corner of our law more evocative of an Eero Saarinen interior of creative angularity than the classical constructions of Cardozo and Holmes.   Northwest, under the protection of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and with the bankruptcy court's imprimatur, has rejected the collective-bargaining agreement that until recently governed its relationship with the AFA and imposed new terms and conditions of employment upon its flight attendants.   The AFA does not wish to accede to these terms and conditions of employment and threatens a work stoppage unless Northwest agrees to terms and conditions that are more favorable to the flight attendants.
