I am curious as to why you perceive the TWU to be better than the IAM. Also of note, Doug has never done anything that would give me the impression that he would run to contract anything out. Yes, it is buisness, but I truly believe that Doug feels as I do, that overall, the best thing for our buisness is HP and US Employees.

Have you bothered to look at the IAM contract? I assume not. Other than the pay scale, this contract is terrible. Now I want you, HP Manager, to take the time to dissect the TWU contract -
if you have ever even taken the time to read it.
IAM contract:
*Holidays will be reduced from 8 to 5.
*Employees will not be paid for the first sick day of each occurrence. The second through fourth sick leave day(s) of each occurrence, where employees are eligible to use accrued sick time, will be paid at 50% of the employee's scheduled hours and decremented at a 50% rate.
*Sick leave will no longer be used to supplement statutory benefits for OI.
*Vacation
1st year of service 10 days
19th year of service 15 days
25th year of service 20 days
*Eliminate Shift 3 paid meal periods
*The maximum overtime rate will be time-and-one-half
*******If a Class II station’s scheduled mainline weekly jet departures are reduced to a level of 56 weekly departures on an annualized basis, the Company may outsource fleet service work in that station.******
*Should an outsourced station’s weekly mainline departures increase to more than 98 weekly departures on an annualized basis, such station shall become a Class II station. (decrease in pay scale)
*Mainline Stations which may be Outsourced (based on February 8, 2005 schedule)
