Dell told them to go on strike, they listened and they all lost their jobs.
NW outsmarted AMFA and Dell, you went into a strike with no strike fund and no plan.
And what did AMFA do about AS closing OAK and farming out all heavy?
From your article,
I guess all this is AMFAs fault too?
Alaska's Oakland mechanics weren't the only employees hit by the cost reductions announced Thursday. Combined with a management shakeup that started last month, the moves will cut nearly 900 of the carrier's 11,000 employees. Those steps include:
-- Hiring outside contractors for all aircraft cleaning in Seattle, and in the Alaska cities of Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau.
-- Outsourcing facilities maintenance and ground support. Two Oakland employees will be affected by this change.
-- Bringing in another airline to handle Alaska's one daily flight to Tucson.
-- Closing ticket offices in Juneau, Anchorage and Bellevue, Wash., and having Horizon Air,an Alaska partner, handle Alaska's customer service work in Spokane, Wash.
The carrier has been struggling with high fuel prices, lower passenger loads and tough competition from low-cost competitors.
