Yeah, that kind of undercuts the entire narrative about why people need a union in the first place.
Or maybe, just maybe, the people who sold you that "job security!" bill of goods were lying to begin with?
As usual, you find it more convenient to attack me and my positions on other unrelated things versus the topic.
By your own admission, I'm not undercutting anything. I'm pointing out a promised value of representation that you just admitted isn't actually there when it is needed.
Heck, even your reference to the Covid layoffs is flawed. I kept my job based on my performance and skills, not a hire date. If those same layoffs had been based on seniority, I would have been unemployed. Fortunately merit won over longevity. People seniority to me but less capable were cut.
At-will employment has done pretty good for me over 36 years. I don't need to whip out my 401k or IRA balances, house value, or pension amounts to prove anything.
There are something like 13 methods of integration that are considered “fair & equitable” under McCaskill-Bond.This is in the Spirit Ramp contract. What it means now that JetBlue Ramp turned down representation is questionable. Without McCaskill/Bond all JetBlue should be placed underneath represented Spirit workers but that’s not going to happen anyway and it will likely end up 1 for 1. I’m also not sure if Spirit is IAM represented outside FLL so I’m going to have a front row seat to this.

Good question, and I suppose it’s up to them to decide.DOH I can understand. But what about classification seniority for shift bidding, layoff and transfer rights?
