i believe alot of what you quote in the CWA agreement has to do with the snapback language they had....not their current round of negotiations.....LUS fleet would have alot of that already also, had they voted for the T/A IN '07.Tim Nelson said:Canale and reagon were the worse. How those 2 could agree to start 40 yr members back on day 1 for pay purposes after being laid off for 30 days was criminal. Canale had to go. Our current contract is the best one we have worked under but is 30% less wage, no ps, awful retirement contribution and a complete disaster with paid days off. The health care and scope should be coveted though.
As far as the cwa, they got enhancements in every single article. Not sure who you are listening to or reading.
10 holidays: double time: holiday premium: 12 sick days paid full: better company retirement contribution: scope for all stations with 5 flight: grandfather all other employees from other stations: double time for any mandatory even for part time; shift differ, etc. And 75% were non contract and had zero everything before.
In fact, the cwa contract is a precise witness to parker delivering. Increases across the board. We have 100% employees under contract and 3 years later we secured ta's on uniforms, bulletin boards, water fountains and other minor articles. And NO, the association is NOT prepared and hasnt even opened ANY of the 6 major articles that the situation between the twu and iam has become tense (scope, wage, duration, health care, retirement, and one other). Thats a fact.
