Is It Right Screwing Over The Airline Operations

[UseYourHead]

Considering what is happening, and how many caring employees work here at US Airways, should we support/demand discipline with regard to people who are bent on deystroying the airline though sick abuse, walking off the job and so on.

Please weigh in

Is it right for management to screw over workers, misuse concessions and break contracts at whim?

Should accountability, expertise, dedication, and common sense be a prerequisite for being a U manager? Should managers that are well on the way towards destroying U be fired?

respect is earned when you are repsected by your company, when you are not respected you get what we have here..... mutual disrespect. I can work with you or against you its your chioce. :angry:

Al Crellin should be called on the carpet in front of the BOD...and fired..plain and simple...This is of his making............

He is the Executive Vice President of Operation....

Do you hear us .....Dr. Dave and Bruce....

This poll has nothing to do with management!! It has to do with a conscious decision by a group of people to possibly have struck the final nail into the coffin. OK....bottom line.........Management blows,but if you called in on a sickout, you deserve to be canned. If there was a sickout, then I say get rid of the people that did it. You not only show a lack of respect for your co-workers, but a lack of respect for the customer that STILL pays your paycheck. This is Christmas. This is time for these folks to fly and see family or go on vacation. WE (not just management) just totally blew it for them and it is national news. They don't care about contract negotiations. They care about getting a service from PT. A to PT. B . Our job is hard enough dealing with a lacking management as it is to then have to deal with our own people screwing around too.

HELLO McFly? If you were part of a sickout, you are cutting your own throats...........Do you think that something like this is going to make negotiations between the Unions and Management easier? Do you think the flying public will feel more sympathy to the employee cause? You just ruined their holiday! If they did have sympathy before, they sure don't now.

Doody - Maybe management has screwed over the employees so much that many of them just don't care anymore and see they have nothing to lose since they're going to get outsourced if Lakefield gets what he wants. You can't expect someone who has been screwed over and has nothing to lose to go to bat for you.

Lakefield and his execs have not the slightest clue on how to lead people, only drive them with a stick. No wonder this company is failing.

As far as public opinion goes towards the unions . . . . they don't give a hoot. The American public doesn't give a dam* about anybody but themselves, much less about any labor union. They'd be happy if U was run by the North Korean slave labor if the tickets were cheap.

There is no company loyalty anymore because the company isn't loyal to you. You're just worker fodder to most American executives. Like Siegel, they take their big money with them and leave before they're held accountable for their actions.

U should no longer be an employer. They suck at it.

Winglet,

Agree that management has made a TON of wrong moves along the way...History shows that is very true. I just don't see how taking out our frustrations on the passengers and other workers makes anything better especially with the time of year that it is...

I hate the paycuts as much as the next guy. They are killing me and I have a parttime job on top of being a CSA. Hopefully, it will turn into something a little more lucrative and I can leave. I just started my 18th year and feel like I'm going backwards. I won't take that out on the passengers though.

UYH,

Three points.

First, I have never thought it is ok to take it out on the passenger, but I HAVE come to understand it. With your new labor relations rep, you are about to get a taste of the s$&t agents have had to put up with. Hey, back a chihuahua into a corner, and you'll get bit.

Second, give some equal time to management for this debacle. They have created a hostile work environment, so expect some acting out.

Third, open up you mind to how the other fellow lives. Every time your a/c pushes back, YOU have a full crew. Period. When that flight blocks up to the gate, agents may, and lately, will NOT, have a full crew. Just today, one of my sidekicks had one agent per a/c. NOT because of a sickout. Because of pisspoor scheduling. It was cool, though. The boss enjoyed Christmas at home, and one of his flunkie supervisors VTO'd.

How is screwing over the passengers AND your fellow employees help your situation. :angry:

 

[pitguy]

I feel many felt they have no future at U and wanted to enjoy the holiday at home with their families. Is it right? I feel for the passengers and for the employees.

If that is the way they feel then what is the point of sticking around here and making fellow employees work harder and passengers miss their bags and destinations. Do they get some sort of sadistic pleasure in hurting others????? That's what it looks like to me. <_< Trust me, upper management is not going to suffer.................

Any one who pulled this stunt over the past 24 hours is little better than pond scum.

If they can not be fired for these actions than those employees should be sanctioned in the strongest possible manner. But have no fear, their unions will defend these actions.

Those who defend it are just as bad and just as guilty. And before you give me the no where have I defended this action crap, you have by your very refusal to strongly condemn them, endorsed them. I hope you can find a job dumping turds that pays as well, because in the end you are going to get what is coming to you.
