American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

The association is protecting two things.
1) Union dues for self financial preservation.
2) The unborn.
Both go hand in hand.
You always fight for future issues that are not in the picture in future contracts. That's why contacts are only 3 to 5 years in duration. Then you negotiate what is currently affecting the operation and the existing workforce. Short term issues are at hand now with negotiations. I don't want to see jobs get outsourced but give and take the fight for another day or contract for the unborn. It's just greed from the union with no regards to the memberships needs. Plain and simple.

Leverage? When would that be?
Some circumstance where the company might need something .Athough that usually happens in a concessionary time.Okay nevermind
When they needed cross utilization a few years back we got that $9 an hour raise without even asking. Since then nothing.

I also just noticed that the last sentence of the update says we are hopeful progress will be made then, meaning this week.
Almost saying none was made last week.
Hummmm

Maybe they didnt negotiate maybe it was dominated by the court case.Guaranteed thats the associations main concern right now
Surprisingly there.is a lot of leverage in play in both sides right now

Of course it is a subject of these talks. Just like AMFA and SWA discussed their legal issues in conjunction with a settled contract.
I'm sure the Company wants to keep them separate, especially with SWA getting a deal and now have the legal stuff to try and gain the ability to permanently restrict any job action.
