do you mind telling us what our union is doing?I did a decade standing on my head making only $21.00 per hour. Even moved to MIA making the same rate. Now to be fair you’re asking me that question making almost 50% more than that?
But I think I only start going on that line when the woe is me talk just gets a little too Shakespearean for my tastes.
But I do have a figure. It just isn’t a monetary figure alone.
The IAM guys lost their Pension way before we did. I’m talking about their Company DBP not the IAMPF.
BTW Rogallo might surprise you to know that the IAM knows they’re Medical costs are going to go up. They just believe it doesn’t have to go all the way up to where we are right now which I agree with.
But anyway I’m sorry you are right that it does come across as if I’m spewing out a Company mantra.
Like I said in all honesty it’s just hard to go along for the ride when any of us are trying to make it sound like we’re eating out of dumpsters and sleeping on cardboard.
Getting emotional and saying enough is enough isn’t going to do anything. And our Union is doing something. You’re just ignoring and discounting it.
So I don’t really know what YOU want actually?
It #ussied out and went for the money only and threw down our aces without our consent. So the twu can get hundreds of thousands in a dues grab. Sure, Gary Peterson claims a petition will fix things and that management should care but in reality it is the union that not only doesnt care but it doesnt give a ****.
Sito, Mr baskett and other con guys agreed to strip United contracts and were too dumb to understand how one airline affects another. Even you were telling me you didnt care about united. Your handler, lehive, is the smartest of all of them.
BTW, talked to some jetblue guys here in pbi and i made sure i spilled the beans about the iam. Havent ran into 1 that wants the iam.
