District 142 Update

[Phantom Fixer]

I guess USAIR management just doesn't understand??? If the contracts are abrogated and your paying unions dues. There isn't ANYONE not the president, congress, NMB, or a fricking BK judge that can keep the un-contracted workers on the job. If the contracts are abrogated, USAIR can offer you the employees even worse wages and benefits than they want you to take now. Their stance would be you take this offer or go find employment elsewhere. But USAIR knows that if just one union should walk there is no way USAIR will survive. So they'll try to play all the trump cards that they can. Self Help is in the 1113 process for a reason, I don't know why USAIR management thinks it can't be used????? :unsure:

Good Luck to you all, I'd tell the company to stick were the sun don't shine. HOLD THE LINE!

mrfish,

What about managements thought process surprises you anymore?
These are the same idiots whom thought they could loophole themselves around the Airbus Heavy Maintenance deal....1 Court in Western Pa said NO...and a second in Eastern Pa. sent it to Binding Arbitration where they lost on a 2 to 1 basis

Sure the puckerpusses on this board are going to get a big laugh on how they ultimately won by going into Chapter 11 for a second time...but the fact remains that they couldn't break it without possibly finishing off the entire company.

Keep in mind , the company is still on the hook for $15 Million in damages to the IAM...and that is a bargaining chip that needs to be used to aid the memberships position in these so called disscusions they are having at present.

robbedagain, You're exactly right ! It's OK for a member of upper management to threaten liquidation!!! .......... Seems the media and company "suction cups " have nothing to say when this subject is brought up.....Same old "one way, dead end Bias B.S..... :down:
