I have never written anything stating I was anti-Contract and furthermore I am not necessarily anti-Union either.
I believe Unions are necessary in some situations but not a requirement for every single one.
Also, we were watching what happened with the last election held at DL and only 39 percent opted to choose
representation, that said a lot.
It said to me, that there is not a pressing need for a Union simply for
the fact if the working environment was as bad as some have made it out to be,
the group would have Unionized at that time.
sorry but that is just the way it is.
these statements about being apathetic are just nonsense and really insulting.
We are not having an election (when it ever happens) because DL Flight Attendants have just realized the
need for a Union, we will have one based solely on the fact.
a merger occurred.
thats it.
Had the group opted for a Union in 2008 it may have made the situation seem necessary, but that is not what
happened and a matter of fact, it is exactly what did not happen two times.
all I know someone is not telling the whole story at DL, it is either fine to work there or its just a bad situation.
I tend to believe facts, the facts say its fine to work there because
the group, the majority who has actually worked there has basically said,
No thank you to a Union twice.
I would be the first person supporting an effective Union if there actually was an immediate need, but I am not going
to just automatically dismiss what the actual majority at DL feels and certainly do not buy the idea,
this will be the only time to secure a Union only for this particular election.
had a merger not occurred,
there would not even be an Union election happening at all.
If the group does opt to put a Union on the property, will support that choice as always and pay dues,
however.
I am telling you right here and now...
do not be surprised when we dont see half the things some thought we were going to get and promised,
never happen.
