Now that I've vented, does anyone have any "firm as jello" info on the backstory to cancelling/delaying the bid?
Does this surprise anyone?? This is a replay of contract negotiations in 1997/98. Don't be distracted.......Do your job 100% and keep your focus on the objective............"The New Contract"
Lets see........
We heard......... "Negotiations are on-going with progress....we expect a deal soon" Funny when you listen to the ALPA hotline..............No Sections TA'd for the past year and 1/2, and progress is currently at a snails pace.
We heard.........." A monster bid is coming out with 250 W/B Capts".............
never happend until 2 years later with the postal deal
We heard.............. " A European domicle is coming soon ".........................
They used the same FCIF's as last time............only the SCP's name is different.
To the new blood that wasn't here last time..........go to the ALPA website a read the history of LABOR at FedEx. Also suggets "Flying the Line Part 1 & 2 as well as Martin Levit's "Confession of a Union Buster" He was employed by FedEx by the way. These are all well worth the read.
I hope everyone is paying attention and doesn't forget their history lessons.
