This not about math or the US Airways policies on "company information", which does not apply at this point.
There are always bad memories or experiences involve with every union and company.
This is about a "fair and equitable" integration. The NMB will make a decision following their rules and regulations, not the IAM's. There are obvious things that have occurred and statements that have been made by the New US Airways Corporation, that will help the NMB make their decision. The Mohawk -Allegheny decision was not a new law enactment, it was a court decision. I'm certain that the NMB will use many things to make their decision. The primary consideration is for a FAIR AND EQUITABLE resolution.
If at any time there is a vote among two different member groups of two different unions, and the vote or lack of vote dissolves all union representation, then the union administration is to blame. If the union administration (you know the over paid higher ups) fails to accomplish the basic task of motivating it's membership to vote then how can they preach that they have great contracts? Convincing a company to sign a contract, giving its employees better standards of living, is a much greater task than motivating members. The non voting group of furloughs apparently have become very dissatisfied with the union.
If the unions are dissolved then the majority has spoken. Even if it has said nothing.
