So basically, mechanics keeping around 20percent cut ?? JUST VOTE NO !!!

Figure out how many active members will lose their jobs and how many will stay, then IMO the higher number will likely determine the outcome. Regardless, one can absolutely do better outside of U now that they decimated the reasons for being and staying there. I know I did and there are a lot of other mechanics with my skills and way more. I talked to one lead utility who thinks it will go thru, he obviously will vote yes being a 28 year veteran but too young to retire. I would vote NO. My fellow co-workers who are still there told me they are a big NO. The ride was fun while it lasted. Good Luck To All.

Does anybody know if there is a severence package for utility and what it consists of ?

 

[700UW]

It is 1,938 members laidoff.

884 mechanics
109 inspectors
798 utility
147 stock clerks

All gone.

All mechs on the line get license pay.

Current total headcount is 4,378, 1,938 to be laidoff for a total of 2,440 left, 46% of the workforce gone.

Company offered NO buyout package, severence is what is normally in the agreement, one week per year for a max of 15 weeks.

You're probabaly right.

Corporate America basks in it’s glow of glory while employees gasp for air clinging to life, but what kind if life?

You commented in another thread about the fleet reduction. The laid off fleet are from our smaller stations. They are unlikely to relocate to PHL, DCA, CLT and the larger stations where we have all the openings; so utility guys will be able to get them.

While UC may not be that much lower than starting pay, there are no medical benefits or DC plan contributions on unemployment. It is better to have a job when looking for a job than not to have one.

If the IAM rejects this proposal, we will implement the 1113c proposal made in October. It is much worse. Every IAM member should be aware of this alternative. You currently have no contract. The contract was abrogated. A yes vote will ensure a contract for your group.

So now you are Ms Cleo and now you know exactly what 500 Fleet Service that are going to be let go are going to do?

Don't worry if there is an imposed contract there will be a strike, Mechanic and Related, Fleet and FA's will all be walking.

And I see your threats once again, great way to manage, NOT!

Then you can collect your golden parachute.

 

[justaumechanic]

Selling Points.

Older mechanics hanging on. You still have a job.

Young guys getting laid off. You get your severance.

It will pass.

If you go to Southwest Tomorrow your starting pay will be lower.. Then
again if you go to Southwest in 2 years when you get your 1% raise at
US Airways you will be making more at Southwest..

 

[700UW]

It is also a 9 year progression now.

Hawk,

I've been sitting here trying to compose myself and formulate a rational reply to the situation, and your post. I can't.

Let that be our answer. You have just killed this company.
