Delta Labor Relations thread.

[WeAAsles]

Dude I have always said I try to find what is fair for both sides. 
 
One day when I finally move on to management I plan on doing the same. I feel like most management that has worked on the floor/line then move up do the same. 
 
 
Also a big fan of working with labor, not vs labor. Its the same team in my eyes. Same reason I don't play the Delta vs this airline or that airline game. Airline labor is all on the same team at the end of the day. You guys sign a s**t contract you can bet it is heading for us and United. Industry average and all that.

Look I know history has a Beach for a wife but I really don't believe those guys are going to bring back a s**t agreement for either group. But it's going to be up to the voters to decide what's really s**t or not?

But there will "always" be no voters even if you gave them the Billions that Trump supposedly has. Some people really have no level for satisfaction.

Eventually DL will match and more than likely surpass and they don't have to pay dues

 

[700UW]

Even when DL was higher paid unionized major airlines total compensation was more than DL.

Really? Please do show everyone the post where I said I was ready to toss everyone under the bus ole grand puba!
So, if layoffs do come do they start at the top of the seniority list, in your world?

Why is this in a DL topic. Mods please delete.

 

[700UW]

It's there to show DL FAs what a CBA looks like and what being union does for you.

 

[southwind]

Err, DL FA's have made their choice....deal with it and get a life!

 

[Kev3188]

Right. And the choice thousands of them have made is to sign a card.

What have you done to get more work in-house? When have you posted about more work going out of house? 
 
Oh and BTW outsourcing is up 5% yoy. 
but crickets from people like you. 
 

So, if layoffs do come do they start at the top of the seniority list, in your world?

 funny you bring up lay offs because in my world lay offs would have a clear policy. Not the Delta way of how ever the f**k we feel like it. 
 

It's there to show DL FAs what a CBA looks like and what being union does for you.

 
it also shows how you can be without a JCBA for what, 6 years? 
 
you aren't good at selling things 700.

 

[700UW]

They each did get their own stand alone CBAs during that period.

It takes two tango, DALPA isn't getting anywhere fast, AMFA is going on five years without a new agreement at WN.

No one can force a company to give a union a new CBA.

You do know the RLA, is only to protect interstate commerce and was enacted in 1926 when there were no airlines?

The system is flawed, workers under the NLRA can strike the minute their CBA expires, unlike airline workers, who CBAs become amendable and don't expire.
