No rallying speech on improvements and victory from my union, instead i suspect they are driving all these concilliation posts. Just depressing this is the climate during a time we shiuld be expecting qol and workrule gains. I have no idea how behnke ever achieved the gains we've ****ed away, let alone whats left that we seem about to **** away.
Well I guess they've won. They have effectively already managed your expectations.
I agree that our insiders should be fighting for us and a better contract. And I am really tired of reading the posts on here where any post that mentions anything more than a 10% raise gets slammed. But ultimately, it will be up to us to decide whether or not the contract is acceptable. And I think the min day talk will wake up even the auto-yes voters.
Keep in mind though that no one from the union has mentioned anything about sick time, minimum month, or any other work rule concessions.
We haven't even opened our contract yet so there aren't any table positions in play yet, but I am discouraged that, based on past history and the discussions on here, that during the best time in our airline's history, we find ourselves in a great position to get a great contract, and some are spring loaded to give the company something to get something. That mindset needs to change if we are going to get the contract I expect.
Keep your chin up, it hasn't even started yet, and if the contract doesn't meet your expectations, vote NO.
