From the pilot side we have handled many of these issues! SLI, Contract, etc, exception being the kids and non-ALPA supporters.
The other groups have been in a continuous battle for their jobs. The company removing jobs on the UAL side while increasing the same jobs on the other side. Sure, the UAL side can apply for those jobs at new hire wages and conditions. The company is trying to force older/senior people out.
I understand their actions when they see friends and neighbors forced out of jobs and then have a clown post a picture representing the worst evil they've had in the career. Anybody thinking this is sending the wrong signal to the company needs to evaluate the fights and injustices the ground workers have been evolved in since day one. Every United pilot should be thankful for the L-UAL MEC actions to stop the same actions by Jeff with JP's help.
LCAL has lost a lot of jobs too. In fact we lost a hub and all the jobs that go with it many are friends and neighbors. Flight oops is almost all LUAL as you know. Many have the same reaction to the United name as it has killed our airline. I guess it is only an injustice if it is done to LUAL folks. The double standard continues.
