Exactly!Seems about as useful as using workcards completed as a gauge of one's productivity...
When the bar is already low, finding places to improve a weak contract is pretty easy. Can't say that about a good contract.
You answered you own question.You might make the argument that we are in expedited negotiations at the request of UA due to the recent merger with Continental, but didn’t SWA merge with another airline also? It is in both our companies’ best interests to reach an amalgamated (combined) agreement with all the represented work groups as soon as possible. But why is your company dragging out the proceedings?
You answered you own question.
The IBT and UAL agreeed to expedited negotiations at the company's request I do believe.
You assume too much in your attempt to talk down AMFA. If we wanted more days, or wanted expidited negotiations, then we would ask for them. We settled the most important items to the AirTran guys already with our SLI and transition agreements.
They are on our seniority list and making our industry leading wages wages now.
The only reason that was not settled sooner was because the IBT would not come to the table and didn't return phone calls for a year.
When does your combined seniority list start and when do the furloughed UAL get brought back?
It seems to me you should be in more of a rush to finish your SLI and protect your laid off guys than worrying about when SWA guys get their next raise. We just got one in August.
We know the IBT. The last contract before we voted them away took around 2 years to reach.
And at that time there was no merger or addition of new work categories to our contract.
Having fear and being required to defend the undefendable brings out the worst in every human.These guys are getting desperate. Their reaching and stretching. I know you already know, but it's going to get worse as May gets closer and closer. Then in May, and after the filing for an election, it will get even more pathetic. But it is entertaining.
Go ahead and file, I signed a Teamsters card in Tulsa in exchange for 15 signed AMFA cards. Wouldn't vote for the Teamsters. In fact I would vote NO Union before I would vote for the Teamsters. But they love to count me as one of their supporters. Bring It.For what it's worth, a couple guys went over to a local hotel near DFW to listen to some Teamsters organizers today. The organizers were well rehearsed. Anyway, they let it out that the Teamsters are going to file at the end of this month. They claimed to have 60% of Tulsa signed up. This is what the Teamsters told all 6 attendees.
