Not exactly, but close. Management will define a pie. It is the union's job to maximize our portion of that pie.
We wan't make the pie any bigger. Especially when thuggish tactics like the ones you utilized at your previous airline are enacted. BOB etc.
Our problem is the non union groups that make up the rest of the company and management's need to cater to them. I know it's not OUR problem on one hand, but on the other it very much is.
The real big problem that we now have is what is going on at Allegiant. If you think for one second that that doesn't affect us, you are completely out to lunch.
