Rumor has it an individual in the turbine building was visited by HR in regard to how he found out about a huge bonus payout($39,000)to his manager. I don't know about everyone else on base, but I have no problem with my manager getting 78,000% more than the $50 American Express card I got and am curious why HR would care if anyone knew. :huh:

I knew I should have eaten the BBQ Sandwhich!
Besides, if we do not allow them their bonuses, they will quit and go elsewhere to work.

They want to plug the leak before any more secrets get out. It would appear that they have a lot to hide.

Hey, management took part in the (UNEQUAL) Shared Sacrifice
it is only right that they share in the (UNEQUAL) reward.
If this is indeed true then I hope someone tells HR to pound sand. Why should the company fear the truth?
Most companies ask that employees not disclose their salary, including bonus. This is not any different, of course you union boys would have to make a conpiracy out of it, because you don't know any better.
That's because they don't the real workers knowing the truth about their wages.
But while on the subject, why is the company the first to disclose the union wages in a overly inflated fashion to the public during contract disputes?

Maybe so, but most companies are not in "working together" agreements that claim to have open communications and open books either.
This isn't a Conspiracy! It is suppose to be Transparency.
Of course you being the anti-worker management stoolie your are, you are content to blame the worker for being upset about being shafted while management is rewarded.
Thats a sore spot with most people during contract negotiations. The company loves using the media for pr campaigns during contract talks but oneflyer only sees one side of the equation as usual.That's because they don't the real workers knowing the truth about their wages.

I wonder if managements going to use their union (cheerleader) i mean counter part to help explain these bonuses?
...or it could be because it's the law to disclose things like the value of union contracts. Couldn't be the logical option could it guys??? The reason they ask salaried people to not discuss that is because they don't have a CBA. Manager A could be getting more (or less) than manager B. They don't want people coming through the door everyday asking for more becaus ethis other person is making more...it's pretty simply.
As for the bonus in question...I have a hard time believing a mgr in maintenance made that sizable of a bonus. Operation folks are typically underappreciated in most industries. Wall Street and executives would have you think that it was all financial wizard work that generated profits and not anything to do with running an efficient operation or changes in the operation.

Hang in there brother, its coming as the signing bonus for the 8 year - 3% contract the twu will be selling. But hey at least they got you 50 bucks. :down:

Not any different? Have you been following what has been going on at AA? Don't know any better?
You are so far from being able to comprehend common sense and reality that I believe you might have a future in the twu international.
Listen, I could care less, (if it is true), if this manager made a $1.00 or $1000000000.00 bonus. You seem to miss the FACT that the unions on AA's property took life changing pay & benefit cuts. NO management person should take ANY raise/bonus till what we gave up is returned.
So as a "union boy" let me suggest that you take your conspiracy and place it where HR can place their sand.

Well, I would say for a low level manager that's not too bad considering the workers get AIP insult of $50. I would like to have a new truck, but because of the un-shAAred sacrifice, only management can afford one.
This is a new compAAny, we have the Pull it Together, to Come Together Program now. Tulsa is projected to make the company a $100 million in a new breakthrough goal. Workers get $50 and a bbq sandwich, and low level managers get thousands in cash. I don't know why Human Waste Resources is investigating, except maybe Dennis Burdchette had his hands in the mangers pockets. :huh:
