you tell him!! it's insulting to hear him talk about those 19 stations when two months ago he was willing write them off to put a couple bucks in his pocket.
rest assured I speak for most of CLT and many of my east brothers and sisters when I say the only way they'll get any concessions from us is to go into BK and steal it from us
I would soon this trainwreck shut the doors before they steal from me while DP and his band of clowns continue to line their pockets and pack their golden chutes. F them!
Bla bla bla , that’s all you’ve got … the contract WILL be reopened , either WILLINIGLY where we ourselves can make those changes that best suit US , or we can be idiots as many of you would like us to be and wait till chapter 7 …. If there IS a chapter 7 and not just a liquidation .
To address your point about shutting the doors , if that’s how you want it , then you should know now that you WILL be replaced , I’d replace you myself if I had to . I do not intend to allow our company to SHUT it’s doors during what may be one of the worst economic downturns in us history . If your wealthy more power to ya , but the rest of us NEED our jobs .
To address your other point about the company stealing from you in chapter 7 , well guess what Einstein the company won’t be coming to steal from you if it goes into chapter 7 again , it will be coming to save it’s self so that we can all remain employed .
Wow you guys are STILL stuck up over the passed TA , I simply cannot believe that you can’t see that if we had WAITED as so many of you wanted us to do , we would be in a WEAKER position …. We’re cutting capacity by 7-8 percent at our company this year and getting rid of 1700 workers , NEXT year we’re cutting capacity by 9-10 percent !!!!! HELLO!!! That would not have been the perfect time to bargain … we brought the west up in wages , we got rid of the sixty day rule , which might have come back to haunt some of you in the east next year and we did away with the class two designation … I’d call that some damn fine progress for our time period here ..
Why are we going to try and barging for the 19 cities we agreed to give up ? Because it should be relatively EASY to get them back …
No matter what any of you say or want , there WILL be concessions , what this company wants here and today is cash money in it’s pocket … now either way the company is going to get what the company wants …. The question is can we trade with the company … if we willingly give up some of our benefits such as our holidays and go back to the old sick policy we could perhaps get our field stations back in the fold … you see our benefits are cash money today for the company , while the field stations are a far off intangible to this company … closing the stations down in 2011 does nothing to solve the money emergency we’re having TODAY …
Many of you can and will perhaps chose to put your heads in the sand again , which is sad , your input could be valuable , but if you chose not to play like you did for the TA so be it , you can be overruled and outvoted .
