I value the positive results of constructive engagement, and I realize confrontation is a last resort. But it needs to be a viable resort. Have you been to a strike committee meeting or organizational event lately? I haven't. I never remember any animosity between employee groups at NWA, we were all unionized and as such the spectacle of what frequently occurred in public during contract negotiations at Delta never occurred. We were always pulling for you, and to see the company and the non-union line employees creating farcical events to disrupt your negotiations was unnerving. I do remember getting my meals on a plate, but I haven't seen anything but "little friskies" canned mush and crackers lately.
