yesterday, i got in late for a small get together with ord twu president murphy. he wasn't too happy about the company wanting to outsource deicing. around these parts, a lot of popular cold-weather shifts and OT. i asked one of his right-hand men about any other potential outsourcing, and it doesn't look good for catering/lus side. i didn't ask about scope and how that might affect you at your station.
some around here are nervous about outsourcing freight. that doesn't seem to be on the company's agenda.
if you have any specific questions i will ask and get a reply to you. i'm not sure how much they can reveal to me or others. murphy is now in election stage and he spent some time talking about his opposing slate in this station.
GivIng up any work in this day/age should be seen as an abject failure on your NC’s part. Doing away with deicing in a place like ORD? Even worse.
i like murphy and co....those guys are are somewhat worried that the elvira slate is more 'millennial-friendly' and will appeal to younger new hires through facebook, etc. murphy got hot and was fired up, he wasn't happy with what elvira and his people are posting on social media.
szwed is an interesting person, believe me...just a bit too radical. rubel is a veteran of the wars.
Don’t underestimate the power and “reach”!of social media. In this day and age, he who gets people’s screen time wins.
Not just millennials, either. Take a look around your gate; how many people have a phone in their pocket?
