Wages went up, sick leave went down, worker's comp and turnover also went down.
You may think it's a joke but I think the employees had a lot to do with this. Or you may think it's a joke because your a management type that believes employees are overpaid and that's your joke - "employees did nothing". I disagree.
I'm not here to tell you how wonderful Continental is to work for, but they avoided BK in 1994....that's how this relates to the thread, and directly it was asked if CO declared BK in the 90's.
Don't shoot the messenger.
If you want to talk about the strike of 1983, the Hindenburg, the Easter Bunny or something else-GREAT-but start another thread.
No .. No.. You speak for management very well - I was speaking to the "legitimate contender" comment. Sorry I wounded - I'll try to be more accurate next time.
