The Negotiations Team
Parker knows that the real negotiations team are the workers working on the ramp across the system. The workers proved that Parker's boy and his traveling circus clowns have no juice and are illegitimate. They are Parker's jesters and nobody listens to them.
Many of the previous negotiators can't even go into breakrooms or their own local, including Parker's boy, without getting B&&&& SL*****.
However, there are two new workers put on Boss Canale's hand picked pseudo negotiations team, "H" from PIT, "S" from PHL. These two brothers have not been defiled yet. If you two don't defile yourselves you will have more juice than all of them on Canale's team combined.
To you two I say, be encouraged to know that Canale and his previous pushbuttons have no juice and that the rank and file is behind you guys, provided, you don't get caught up in hearing Hemmingway say 'you aints getting this' 'you aintz getting that'. Canale's days are numbered.
Don't sign on anything that just brings back a similar TA that your brothers and sisters ALREADY voted no on. I encourage you not to buckle under Canale's pressure, he has no juice at all except with the UA board of directors. He is the enemy for sure.
Industry standards start at $21hr and if Parker can't be fair then he doesn't get a transition. Don't sell out 19 west cities. Dont' sell out those that are laid off. Don't agree to IOU snapbacks at the end of 2012, get the snapbacks now. Now is the time, supper is ready, and the environment is ripe for this. If US AIRWAYS doesn't want to listen then let them wait.
When I say Canale has no juice, wait till February and you will see what I'm talking about. He has no juice at US AIRWAYS and NONE at United OR Aloha. Neither do any of his cronies. They will all be voted out together, you will see once nominations begin in February. Hold firm. Brothers and sisters at all the DL141 airlines have united for this common cause and it will be wonderful.
Don't be misled by Canale's tough talk 'mfing' the company....it's all an act that we have seen before.
If US AIRWAYS is negotiating and they don't want to talk about a real contract then you are wasting your time and let them know that. Don't fear Canale kicking you off the negotiations team, you are going in with backing of workers, don't choose the path Heyden did. WHere is he now? Go in with the power of the workers behind you and don't rely on Canale...mark that man as COMPANY and don't go by what he sez.
Fleet service is solid and united from coast to coast, only Canale and his $100,000 boys can divide us. Hold firm.
