Call a strike, then de-certify the union. When the company is ready to settle, re-certify the union and have the new union sign the contract.
Local 357 has a very solid and respectable leadership, but right now they're only allowed to bring knives to a tank battle.
I've never really thought about that. So, what would happen if, say, Skywest, had a sick out? Or if they were given terms they didn't agree with and, instead of organizing a union, walked off the job? Skywest could fire them but would in the current hiring environment would be getting themselves in a world of hurt due to lead times for new hire pilots.
