Re: Company Failures Via Fax and US Mail
Dear Doug:
Yesterday, AFA-CWA was informed of yet another failure by someone in the Company that will directly affects the lives of many of our members. Specifically, the failure was to properly pay East Flight Attendants who worked on January 1, 2009 their contractual "Holiday Pay".
Doug, this is the third Company error that impacts our Flight Attendants in as many weeks. The Company sent out incorrect W2 forms with incomplete information. In addition, the Company has miscoded many of our retired or separated Flight Attendants- a mistake that lowered their boarding priority for non revenue travel from their contractual S3 entitlement to S4.
Furthermore, as we discussed at the last quarterly Labor Advisory meeting we continue to see payroll and claim adjustment errors and omissions. Especially in this economy, every dime counts, and for Flight Attendants to come home to an incorrect paycheck or an incorrect W2 is not acceptable.
As you have said many times recently, "We are running a good airline and it shows". While that may be true to the external casual observer, it is far from a "good airline" in the eyes of many frontline employees.
I use the term, "our Flight Attendants" in this letter because the Flight Attendants are- or at least should be-represented by both the Company and the Union. I am writing this letter to let you know the Company is letting the Flight Attendants down.
Flight Attendants are held to very high standards on and off the job. The Union has a very large concern with the increasing number of mistakes made by management that lead to serious problems for Flight Attendants. Flight Attendants continually ask me, "Who is accountable for these errors". On their behalf, I am now asking you - who is accountable?
I know once discovered, problems are corrected, but the fact that problems keep happening are a concern and a drain on morale for an already frustrated group. Neither the Union nor the Company should spend this much time and effort "fixing" so many problems.
I look forward to your response-
Sincerely,
Mike Flores, President
The US Airways Master Executive Council

I just hope something gets done. I'm sick of the CWA being so tight-lipped about everything. Velvet does need to go. If not, the buck up and start representing us union members!
I have a few serious questions for CWA members with ten years service or less.
Do you plan to retire from this company?
Where will you get your retirement health care? It's very expensive.
Will a 401k be enough to support you? They say it will take 25 years for investors to trust the stock market again. That's how long it took after the 1929 crash. Don't look for returns high enough to do you any good there. US Airways is not putting hardly anything in and you will need to put 30-40% of your take home pay in to retire at age 65.
They say Social Security is on the verge of collapse.
What age do you plan to retire?

I was hoping someone has an idea on how to work here .... and someday retire from this company ........ your silence is LOUD?
For CWA members has the company purposely created a dead end situation as far as retirement is concerned.
Is there any wonder the average American is getting comfortable with the idea of socialism. :down:
