Cwa/ibt Merger

[Harry Callahan]

To be honest, I hardly ever do them but I think it is 20 per quarter.
Wonder if TWU is just telling you all that.

Oh, methinks that TWU has been telling us that. I think they may not be letting the facts get in the way.

(Do I have to pay 700UW a royalty whenever I say that?)

The question you should ask yourself should be "What is more important? Vacations or feeding my family?"

The question shud be who is gonna enforce my contract??????? Who do you want to represent you, a bunch of telephone people or truck drivers. Check out one of the CWA national newsletters, the airlines are not even a blip on their radar. It's all about the phone companies. CWA :down:

What is their job description? Supervisory or assistance? I see the CO red coats, but dont know what they do.
We have CARS- Customer Assistance Reps. They mainly work the kiosks, queue the lines, and handle assist customers, driving the carts, wheelchairs.
The CARS are being dropped thru attrition in all but the focus cities.
Currently in quite a few of the nonhub/focus cities the agents/skycaps do all of the assists and the CARS just work kiosks.
We also have Supervisors. In my station (cant speak for the hubs or other stations) they are working supervisors (oxymoron, I know.... ) but are supposed to work the counter/gates and assist the agents. They do rosters/close out the counter $ at night. They cant do discipline or much else. And with certain managers they dont do near as much as they could do.....

I could not agree more----VOTE NO EVERYONE!!!
maybe we should go even further and form our own union? LOL...I hear with the current US contract you can not "work doubles"-for example, I can now pick up an extra shift every day this week-double up-Am and PM- and then take it easy next week...talked to some nice new co workers and they said the contract that they have does not allow it...? This is how we extend our vaca...get extra days off...with the cost of gas lately it actually helps out to be able to do this...any thoughts...either way, I am voting a very strong NO on this subject!!!

I think this should cover all airport functions, including fleet.

[post="307162"][/post]​

They probably meant THEY dont *WORK* doubles....
We can work doubles, just not more than 16 hours in any one day and not more than 12 hours on the second day.
You'd be surprised how many agents dont know whats in their contract or even where their copy of the contract is (or that its online). You can check it out for yourselves at The CWA Website.

Are these Supervisors or Leads?

A salaried employee (Supervisors) can't do hourly work (Agent) more that 50 percent of their time. Otherwise that's illegal and they'd have to get overtime.

There was a case were RiteAid were telling people they were salaried Supervisors yet they made them do stock clerk work so that RiteAid didn't have to pay overtime. The feds said that was a no no and a law was passed not too long ago.

Checked into this, already. The TWU "break room stewards" misinformed everyone on this.

At US, supervisors are hourly employees not salaried. They are currently covered under the same contract as agents and they do get overtime just like the rest of us. Shift Manager is the first level of managerial salaried employees.

Ramp is $15.20 top at Year 15. That is for hubs and stations. Yuns are making that at about Year 7 at the Class I stations.

Barbee,
How many people would you say are at the $15.20/hr pay scale.

We are talking CSR union not ramp...we have a vote going on to choose whether to allow an alliance of the Teamsters and CWA to form an association...I hear it is hard to try and form a new one but..neither the teamsters or CWA are saying much just---vote yes...so, I am voting no...I fought for 3 years to get the teamsters and I do not care for CWA-or rather, the things I hear from my new co workers...
