that nitwit Scophat isn't challenging anyone to anything, he's too busy dodging questions on facebook,
I don't know which one of you clowns sound worse.
Socopath is most likely in one of the information meetings. Either Klemm or Bartz but what's the difference?
Over the past week, they were caught blatantly lying about the following:
1. They said res centers can't close. That's a lie. A res center can close and they can shift all the work to remote agent and give everyone a pay cut. It's in the agreement. What is more troubling is that the foreign call centers will be allowed to be alive and kicking if management chooses to shift res work to remote positions to trigger the paycuts.
2. They both said that the LOA #5 means a person can't get reduced to part time and that the company must keep a certain amount of full timers. That's a lie. LOA #5 is only an exception letter where the company can't take full advantage of the unlimited part time by scheduling back to back part time and reducing full timers. Full timers can be reduced to part time, laid off, exercise their seniority to transfer, etc. Any shift in flights or flight activity will most definitely prompt the company to put out a new station compliment. For instance, if DEN loses 30 flights, the company can say 100 FT and 10 part timers. A host of reason for displacing into part time. LOA #5 is only an exception letter.
3. Both have spoke on behalf of management when pressed with the language that allows BOS, PHL, etc to have work contracted out ASAP. Perhaps management will want the vendor to work the opening or closing shift or take over all bag running. Both Klemm and Bartz just say that management hasn't given them any intentions that they would do that.
4. New Health care cost: The company jacked up health care cost ALOT with sCO for some reason. sUA is in an enrollment right now in case TA2 gets voted down. These cost are very low. However, if TA2 passes, then see the lOA. It allows management to go back and 'reset' the contribution and waive the cap for one time only so management can catch up. The United employee is expected to pay 20% of the plan, however, due to strong contract language and caps, the United employees are paying less than 5%. TA2 will allow the company to finally bill the entire 20%. In ORD that is a difference of $501.63 for many. Hell, if you just cost out the $3.20 wage increase for topout [significantly less for all other steps] and add the health care bill, it will be a $2 pay cut for all topped out part timers, and about a wash for full timers.
However, all Klemm and Bartz say is that the health care cost isn't known until or if the special enrollment is triggered.
Folks should have full disclosure so I'm going to present a dissenting opinion and publish and video it. Folks can make up their own mind which way to vote but they should have the opportunity to hear the union leaders and the opinion of dissent. That's the American way.
