Now, let's see how the numb-n*ts that voted for the FDX foreign domicile spin this.... We got an effective 6% raise but gave up our only bargaining chip in the last 10 years and possibly for the next 10.
Also, now that the rest rules are published, I'd expect all sections "possibly affected" by them to be signed, sealed and delivered to the membership in less than 6 months.
Ah.... so you see folly in that expectation, you say????
Anyone that thinks that the company, with nothing to gain (they already have ALPA permission to open a domicile just about anywhere in Western Europe....) and higher wages or costs looking them in the face with a new contract, will negotiate honestly is just as ignorant as those that voted for the Foreign Domicile codicil.
In negotiations, you are in a business deal. The first one that blinks, loses. We blinked...
