Ok Shocker,
I'll put on the line for you.
Fleet does have bargaining leverage;
1. The COC, to effectively aquire a merger partner, the coc has to go away. The only
way to avoid the kickin is for US to be the buying entity. They can't get the funding.
2. The transition agreement, needed to form two fleets groups into one. No other airline
wants to bargain with two groups of the same.
3. Contract extentsion, needed to secure fleet wages for the next several years to avoid
interuptions during the merger process.
Print this off and tape it to cheap suites forehead, that way when Al speaks cheap suites
doesn't have too.
Also, the company came knocking, they want it or they would have been silent until 12/31/09.
OTH, grumbling's from within the sand castle, Al has to get it done or lose his job.
Cheap suites can also refuse to negotiate and therefore work on sec 6 proceedings in the west,
he has until oct. then he will be unemployed.
Here's what it's going to take...... twenty an hour top out min., extra vac., 60 day rule gone,
holidays back, we do live in AMERICA, sick time reinstated, job saving scope for class 2,
A fair and dignified contract for the worker's, and don't forget about your boy RR IN phx.
Also no more cost neutral talk, it sickens me.
