You can't blame Bob for doing what he is. Everyone is motivated by self interest to get what they want.
It is just a shame that 6,000 mechanics can make it bad for 100,000 workers who stand to lose well over $120,000,000 plus what folks have in retirement funds.
What is stopping the other workers from giving more? They did not have to put in the clause that its all or none.
If this happens I wonder what repercussions will be inflicted upon mechanics for years to come.
Such as?
There won't be a union who will protect them from what others might do.
Oh really? Ever heard of DFR? Hey when has it been the Unions position to use threats of violence to coerce employees into concessions? It sure bodes ill for the Labor movement when we have come to this point.
I already heard of fights breaking out. People being fired for fighting. How would you like to have 20, 25, 30 years and be fired for fighting.
Or be treated like the plague and never know what your car will look like when you come out of work. You know how those little dents can annoy you.
You guys have proved a point. I hope you are willing to accept the consequences.
You're not just messing with the company anymore. Now you are messing with your co-workers money.
Please don't take this as a threat from me. I would never do anything like that. It just occurred to me when I heard of the fights and thought you might not have thought this the whole way through. I don't know why I think you didn't. You guys are smatter than that.
This was one unbeleivable post! He cant come up with a logical arguement as to why you should agree to 6 years of concessions, all the economic threats did not work, so he is resorting to threats of violence?
