Our union is going to be held accountable , during ELECTION time which isn’t far away now … I can’t see how much more accountable things can be besides being replaced ?
As for stepping up to the plate , I’d say we’re giving the company one last chance to sit down at the table and try and hash things out with our union before WE become unreasonable and intransient .
Overall I thought it was pretty sound for the company and the union to sit down and have talks as quickly as they did . I know Tim believes that the company is crawling back to the table , but they are not , especially after just winning that prolonged legal fight .
The company has returned to the table because they want to end the foot dragging and labor dispute flair ups that make the news from time to time … As the morale on both coasts of this company plummet, our MBR rises and our stated arrival times become less reliable .Robert Isom want’s to introduce a new way of doing things on the ramp , but at the same time I’m sure he knows that no one’s going to be more receptive to doing things differently and or working harder without a carrot .
Our company would LIKE to have a TA so it can show the business world that their finally able to make labor progress after X amount of years after this merger , however , there isn’t a gun to managements head , they do not NEED a TA , and they don’t even need one in order to merger with yet another airline . It’s a want not a need .
You want action PJ ? What kind of action are you talking about , against the company or against the union ? As far as action to change our union goes , I’m voting for RON ROTH!!! And to be honest I’d rather be voting for him for union president ….but maybe next election cycle …
