Management Benefits

[BabyBus]

What are the details of the new sick leave and retirement for management...? It seems our guys are depressed. US East.

 

[PITMTC]

It's the same policy US/West uses.

 

[AIRWOMAN]

It's not totally a management deal.......if we are looking at the same thing. The letter is distributed to "Non Contract Employees" If US East is upset, what did they have before?? I can't imagine that anything was taken away. And that's correct.........the policy is what US West has been using.

From what a friend of mine told me, here is a recap of some of the highlights:

Vacation capped at 20 days.
Sick days capped at 10 days....days can not be rolled over to next year
No carry over vacation....any days on the books will be cashed out
CAT bank can not be used.

Guess your friend doesn't have the facts straight. Let alone correct. And as stated previously........this is for NON CONTRACT EMPLOYEES.

And what is a management employee......they are NON-CONTRACT.

The view point of most US Airways West employees who are "non-contract" is just that. non-contract. that does not make them "management". This seemed to be a difficult thing to understand at the beginning of the merger transition but it seems to have surfaced again. I'm not trying to play down anything...it's just that at USWest we have union employees (mech, ramp, fa, pilots, res/csr are a catagory all jumbled but for benefits/salary purposes they are union) and then we have non-union (admin, support, accounting, pricing, etc) who are NOT management and then, there is "MANAGEMENT" - in other words, those with manager or equiv in their title. those of us considered union don't typically think of all non-contracted employees as "suits". I think for the purposes of the question here, it's non-union contracted employees and it's true - at uswest, it's 10 sick days (not an entitlement, mind you); vacation - take it or paid out but never rolled, etc.

hope that helps.

US West has many non-management, non-contract employees and most seem to be a very happy bunch. Worrying about how much someone else is making, what their doing or not doing, us against them....well that's left to other groups.

LOL... so untrue... They love to complain about the above.

Of course........that is human nature. But stop and think about it.........all of those "happy, non contract, non union, non management" employees are or may be FORCED into a union situation. Then what?? It will be interesting.

Does anyone READ the posts? MMW said that all management is non-contract--he didn't say that all non-contract is management. geez.

 

[PITMTC]

You must not be looking at the same thing I have.

From what a friend of mine told me, here is a recap of some of the highlights:
Vacation capped at 20 days.
Sick days capped at 10 days....days can not be rolled over to next year
No carry over vacation....any days on the books will be cashed out
CAT bank can not be used.

This pretty much reads on the mark.

Guess your friend doesn't have the facts straight

I believe they do. The points that MMW posted are correct parts of the policy.

Did they put out a difference policy for the East? That's not what I have. Nothing about CAT Bank.....what is that??

 

[PITMTC]

You must have the "current" policy, where we just got our "new" policy. The catastrophic bank was a place where they placed all unused sick days during a previous policy change. They were "banked" in there in case you were out for a long time. That cat bank will now be unavailable to use. Not a positive point coming from a person who has a large bank from not loosing work often. Oh, well. They didn't ask me to write it.

I agree, the loss of that is hard. I lost a huge amount of sick time when I left the union. I guess now the union members are losing it........odd, isn't it??
