Long time lurker...first post
I am soon to be a five year fo with the company. At my previous employer, Flight Options, we were able to bring the Teamsters into our company, Local 284, representing Fractional providers. I got my job with Delta before the union was voted in (thankfully). During that process, we were warned about the companies potential use of FUD. They used fud, in great amounts, during the process. Fast forward to present day, and again I am dealing with FUD...only this time, I am getting it from my Union...***? If we dont vote this very humble TA in, we will be stuck with our current contract for God knows how long via the traditional section six process. I am confused, isnt the company supposed to be the one trying to influence me via FUD? Instead, I am getting a healthy dose of vote this fairly weak TA in, or else? I admit this is my first section six in the airline business...but my elected union using the FUD angle to influence my yes vote is so confusing! What am I missing?
New, and confused!
