Good news for MCI:
They never do tell you how much was from new revenue versus productivity increases. I'd venture to say that it is about 80% productivity/cost reduction, or something that should have been negotiated in exchange for keeping our concessions. Instead they get both the $350 million a year, the layoffs, and the productivity increases which now totals over $1 Billion per their breakthrough goals. What a union!!!!! At the very least, as we reach our breakthrough goals, a portion of our concessions should be returned. When we reach $1.6 billion in breakthrough gouals, our concessions should be returned in full.

But your crappy union believed AA when AA told them that the productivity gains/cost savings were in exchange for keeping the maintenance bases open (for the time being) instead of pulling a UAL (as in IND and OAK). And people say management is stupid. Nowhere near as incompetent as the worthless union.
 
WOW! Now let's look at this.

Tulsa reaches $500 Million Dollar Goal
MCI reaches $150 Million Dollar Goal
AFW still hasnt reported on their progress

And the $800.00 check for every employee cost what $60 Million?

WOW! Let's get down on our knees and lick the soles off their boots for more chicken feed and then brag about it in the media.

GOOD GRIEF THIS UNION SUCKS!

Although shown on front of t-shirt, this will actually be on the back of the t-shirt.

Don't forget the large slice of raisin pie.
<_< ------ "Raisin pie?" We didn't get any! We got chocolate chip cookies! Oh! But we did get our "T" shirts! The Local sprung for them, management pasted them out, and took credit for them! But that says it all, doesn't it? ------ We also had all the big wig's here, Burcheat, Redding, and even our new boss,"Barnickel Bill"! Gave speaches and all! Told us we done good! :lol:
 
You guys need to get busy replacing that crappy union of yours.

If the TWU still represents you later this year, the only issue for the upcoming contract negotiation will be the size of the concessions.
