Delta Labor Relations thread.

APFA represented FAs to be highest paid again.

Moments ago, American Airlines CEO Doug Parker and President Scott Kirby announced a six (6) percent pay raise for Flight Attendants effective April 1, 2016. This adjustment places the APFA workgroup's wages higher than the counterparts at Delta, and above the UA/CO FA's which still do not have a joint contract.

Oh don't look now, AA announces Profit Sharing for all employees too.

All they have to do is start a drive and they get a raise. With a union you have to negotiate one and usually it comes months into a new CBA. Historically Delta always paid better. It won't be long until they are back on top.

You might be right, but the sudden uptick in lawyers leaving their firms to go work for a regular company would certainly raise a flag or two...

Yep, because we know the only reason a company hires a lawyer is to bust up a union .

C'mon you know that you're grasping now. Of course big companies hire professionals to at least give them advice on how to keep Unions from getting in.

It's too well documented for even you to try and pretend otherwise.

Won't stop him from trying, though...

Non union airlines like this one are "contracting out" it's benefitted positions in ACS every single day. In my station in the last 6 years every FT position that has opened up do to retirement or transfer has been filled by RR. We've had 1 (ONE) RR position move up to a (PT) benefitted position and 1 (ONE) PT move up to an FT position. All the other positions were cut to RR positions.
 
The companies goal is 50% benefitted and 50% non benefitted at the spoke stations.
 
RR's are one thing, but to also have DGS or a host of contractures work the ramp at large stations, while the airline is "printing money" is totally incomprehensible. Why shouldn't mainline be working at these large stations? Why is the natural progression of RR >PT > FT being held back.
 
If a $1,000,000,000 a quarter is not enough?
 
If not now, WHEN?

It gets worse; we were told the 50/50 rule is no longer a thing...

 

[Airlinelifer]

Your absolutely right, they can do whatever they so desire. to justify having:  
 a. more benefitted positions        
 b. opening ramp positions to mainline ramp at large contracted out airports.
 
With the companies logic, they can open places like RDU, MIA, PBI with mainline ramp positions and fill them with 50% or more RR, and they still won't do it.

Good. Now the window is open again to file.

Time flies when you're having fun.

Perfect example how unions funnel membership dues to political campaigns. Despite what laws are on the books prohibiting said practice.
