TWU negotiations.........what?

[Goey]

Focus City's what do you say? No OT this week? Also what about putting yourselves on the Do Not Call List?

 

[Goey]

Boy I always seem make the conversation come to a grinding halt. I sincerely apologize for that, I just thought that instead of ranting on here you guys could do something for yourselves.

 

[Rogallo]

you guys could do something for yourselves.

No, they can't.

I wou say for now work the OT, clear some debt and build up your strike fund.

If that's what it's going to take, let's do it, there is always going to be something going on that the the company can use to stall talks. The country is grasping what unionism is all about, now may be a good time to make a stand.

Things don't seem to be going like clockwork in T-town even with the ot. I take it you don't expect a very productive week?

I can't imagine the company calling a strike against itself should there ever be a release from negotiations by the NLRB ...

Debt cleared, strike fund built up 2 1/2 years ago.. still waiting for someone to frikin lead.. Bunch of spinless idiots leading us all into oblivion.

If our fuel is hedged, and their is a 30% increase in fairs, isn't that 30% all profit. Seems like an airline with hedged fuel during fuel spikes makes a killing. Just trying to understand the ponzi scheme.

The company cant call a strike, they can impose a new CBA or lockout the employees, and the union calls a strike, and that would be a release from the NMB, the NLRB has nothing to do with workers who are unionized under the RLA.

I am confident in saying he was calling the TWU the company and saying they were both the same. Why would the company (TWU) call strike against itself.

You sir, are correct.

So I`m guessing more "dog chases tail" on article 12 this week. I watched VP Jim Ream on jet net tonight. He claims its a priority to settle the contract. Really Mr. Ream? Then you sir have the ability to make it happen. In his interview he purports to bring M&E into the "21st century" in I.T. Really? Can we talk about the 30 panasonic tough books collectng dust in our tool room? We told management that the infrastructure was not there. They did not listen. Great concept, laptop on engine runs to write up discrepancies as we find them. Too bad the wireless coverage is non existent. These things can`t even be used in the hangar. We are waiting, 1043 days past the amendable date of our contract. Here is one for the negotiating team, have you retroactive LANGUAGE written as a proposal? If not, why? It has now been over 3200 days since I have had a meaningful raise.
