And how are you so sure I am out?
I have no problem with unions.....how many of our aviation Brothers have given up vacation,wages,benefits, pensions and so on for so long?
And now public service unions are bleeding states treasuries dry and they balk at minimal increases in benefit contributions?
Yes, I have a problem with that after willingly given up so much for the hope of a secure future due to declining revenues in the aviation industry.
Yes I have a problem with PS unions thinking they are entitled to more than I gave up in the face of dwindling revenue and escalating costs.
Yes and in my opinion they can go to hell.
dell, you know dam well how a contract works !!!!!!!!!!!!
If the wages and pensions of a towns/cities PS workers are becoming too much to handle, then at the expiration of the latest contract, restucture new wages and pensions(or non-pensions) for the NEXT newly hired employees !
As for the incumbents, "Buy them out" with incentive packages(It's done everyday in American business)
For those incumbents that don't leave, RAISE TAXES more to pay for the obligation(s) in the former contracts that YOU SIGNED on the dotted line for.
It's not rocket science !!!!!!!!!!!! Hel*, I'm living proof having come to American Airlines in 86' at a "C" scale rate.
Bob Crandall made good on the company's "A" scale obligations, and then....made a TON of $$$$ during the next 15 years via the "B" and "C" scale rates.
So please dell, don't tell me it can't be done.
(Notice when you hypothetically go down to the Bank of America, and say...."listen, I know I SIGNED a mortgage deal for $1500 a month, but my situation has changed and I now want the same terms, but only at $750 a month !!) Is it then at 10 min. or 20 min. or 30 min. WHEN they SHOW you the DOOR .
So (try and) Tell me why this scenario of your's is DIFFERENT than mine !!!
