J. Merger with Non-AFA-CWA Carrier
1. In the event of merger with an airline where the flight attendants are not then represented by AFA-CWA, the International President shall convene the Master Executive Council of the AFA-CWA carrier at an appropriate time after learning of management action to effect a merger, through agreement, notification to a government agency or otherwise. The functions of such meeting shall include briefing and orienting the participants on merger-related matters and commencing a program in conjunction with the International Office for the protection of the employment rights of the AFA-CWA flight attendants, protecting AFA-CWA representation, and organizing and related activities for the purpose of assuring AFA-CWA representation on the merged carrier. The meeting shall include a review of AFA-CWA merger and organizing policies.
2. Seniority integration with a non-AFA-CWA carrier shall, to the extent legally possible, be accomplished by compiling an integrated seniority list in the same manner as provided for seniority integration between flight attendants on AFA-CWA carriers.
3. The Executive Board (or the International President, where necessary pending Executive Board action), may authorize legal and related expenses for seniority merger purposes, up to the time that AFA-CWA acquires representation for all flight attendants of the merged carrier.
4. Maintaining AFA-CWA representation rights through a merger and on the merged carrier shall be considered a priority under AFA-CWA organizing policy.
Give this a chance... Don't be so down... this could work out best for all...
I'm pretty sure Dougie said that this will definitely be an "acquisition" - US Airways will be the surviving entity, renamed to Delta.Just a question because I don't know......Are they (Delta) going to be the surviving entity?
Actually if this Ponzi scheme does not go through (or another one to be annouced later) this airline is in deep troubleI know I'm gonna catch hell for this, and yes I'm an outsider, but I don't think the employees of the aquiring carrier should be placed in a position to lose their jobs, to save the jobs of the distressed carrier.
JMHO :unsure:
Its not about what USAirways will do; its about AFA. DL will become union the minute the merger is approved. Seniority will be DOH.
How so?Actually if this Ponzi scheme does not go through (or another one to be annouced later) this airline is in deep trouble
It really should not be about policies...it should be about doing the right thing! DOH seems the fairest way!I have to admit that I am 50/50 on this issue. While I DO NOT agree with a staple job I have to question. If we US west and east are AFA dues paying employees and adhered to the policies of AFA why would they give FULL seniority to a carrier that obviously did NOT want to be represented by them? Over the years of paying $39.00 a month in union dues it ought to give you SOME kind of security in a situation like this. I will bet the bank that AFA gives them DOH but I don't necessarily agree wholeheartedly that it is the right thing for current USAirways members. It would be the wrong thing for the Delta employees but where is the middle road. Again I am against an airline doing to employees what AA did do TWA but in this case what should be? They didn't want AFA now they receive the benefits of the policies written? Hmmmm....
USAir has never stAApled; just the opposite infact. What AA did to TWA was unbelievable.
It really should not be about policies...it should be about doing the right thing! DOH seems the fairest way!
That's because THEY WEREN'T REPRESENTED BY A UNION!!!It might not have been USAir at the time, but Piedmont stapled the Empire pilots right to the bottom of their pilot list. (1985)
