Kiosk Check in

[wench1]

We are so short staffed- what else is new?

One skycap means well, he continues to help us, ...at that rate we will never re-call any one back from furlough..

Sorry but I feel different now..

I mentioned something to him about that and he blabbed to the supervisor about manpower..

Just goes to show you cannot trust anyone @ work..

How can we get this to stop?

Dont say file a grievance..Is there another option?
I did speak to CWA about this..

Thanks for your input.

If some one is doing work falling within the scope of your contract, tell them (don't ask them) to stop.

If they don't stop, excuse yourself and go to your Manager you hate so much and ask the person be assigned elsewhere.

Correction, do not HATE the manager, try shift mgr..BTW who at 1X was an agent,,,now, he's done a 180..that's neither here nor there..SM has watched it, and let's it ride,,why? It helps the agents, by not re-calling one from furlough..
Next?

A Manager is a Manager. If you burn bridges in every direction around you soon will will be stuck with no way out.

Save the "next" for your night job.

Im smart enough to know when to stay silent..and NO I don't burn bridges...been in this industry too long to know better.

But Thank You for the reminder!

file a grievance.

This is the option if you are in a union
The other option is join management
You have a voice use it with a pen

We have no rep.

We have no rep.

You do have your local union president. You need to call him and have him help you write up a grievance. That's the only way to get things done. It might take a while before it gets settled but a least you made an effort. Are you the only agent in that station that cares about what's going on? How pathetic! Others should also be up management's butt. The more grievances you file the better. I was a union rep in my station before I got furloughed. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. You can't lay down and just take it. You have to stand up for your rights! No one else will do it for you..... <_<

Speaking as a Customer this is the kind of stuff that makes a great many anti-union.

I come to the airport and frankly I don't give a cheese eating fat rat's arse who helps me, or "Who's Work" it is. If a Sky Cap offers to handle the entire transaction well then he/she gets a bigger tip and I'm happy on my way.

This above is a fact of life for most customers. The customer comes first, period. If the CWA contract prohibits the activity, then that's an internal union/company issue. As a customer it looks to me like a union stiffling a "Go-Getter" Sky Cap from earning that extra dollar or two in tip money at the expense of the Customer to the benefit not of the CWA members in station but the CWA hacks that masquerade as a Union.

A company and a union agree on the contract, the company has to abide by it, it really doesnt matter what a passenger thinks, scope language is the most basic fundamental part of a CBA.

And if someone else is doing an employees job, that is one less person a company has to employee, the unionized agent is protecting their job.

Did I hear you say the Customer thoughts don't count?

Tell me I didn't just hear that Mr Parker? I mean 700UW!

Just a friendly reminder that without CUSTOMERS you don't need agents or sky caps!!!

Just for the record a growing economy does far more in the way of protecting jobs than ANY union ever did. Unions have helped raise the standard of living for ALL Americans. The question I'd ask is "What have you done lately"

 

[700UW]

Yes the passenger has no say in an internal company-labor issue when it comes to the CBA.

And I said what a passenger thinks about an internal union/company matter, doesnt count, now does it?

Now you have done it. You are going to stir up the brainwashed union people and they are going to rant how great unions are and then out of the other side of their mouth how bad their union is.
