Steve Connell said:Actually Anthony, what the TWU did was ask the membership to vote yes or no on the concessionary contract.
Not quite. The TWU spun a web of deception that left the members with the impression that had they not ratified the agreement that the company would without a doubt go BK and strait into liquidation. Here is a case where the union was using scare tactics that are normally only used by the most reprehesible employers. In fact such tactics are considered illegal when used by employers.
The same floor that so wishes the demise of the TWU is no doubt the same that voted to save their jobs and remain employed.
I doubt that. How did you vote?
You stated you are not furloughed. Have you ever been under the TWU? Has that paycheck continued to flow into your account every two weeks like clockwork?
95% of the population sees a paycheck. 87% are non-union and do not pay dues. We belong to unions in the hope that by being union that the company can not do what the TWU International helped the company do to us.
For you to remain with AA after a 20% decrease in combined wages and benefits says a lot for what the TWU had already bargained for you. Had it been to the point of your failing to provide for yourself or family, surely you would have sought employment elsewhere, like NWA, UAL, or perhaps Alaskan Air.
It is precisely the fact that we have families and the TWUs poor track record why it is harder for us to make an immediate move, but as time goes by more and more people are doing just that.
I believe Anthony that you, and I, are here for the $$$, it can't be for the conversation and entertainment....or can it?
