A few whispers online make things go viral. It may wake up a few who need to hear it, but let's not get extreme.
Wanna know how well unionizing goes, ask Flight Options on their dealings with Teamsters.
EAS is an amazing company and get back on the straight and narrow if a few things are fixed. A union is not needed for this, a simple uprising (with proper and respectful communication) within the ranks to the right people can work wonders.
Squeezing the Orange is not part of good management.
Am not sure what you mean about the Teamsters. Negotiated a first contract with FO during what some economists saying was the worst economic down turn in US history. Have great protections now in place! Can not be fired for being "unhappy" at work. Can not be fired for "bad body language" during indoc before you even take your indoc! Over the course of the five year contract received approximately 35 percent pay increase! Do not have to answer phone before duty on time, 7/7 off schedule available for bid. Company pays completely for your meals. Don't have to go over 14 hours especially on last day. Can refuse trips on last day if scheduled over 14. Protection from over zealous managers calling you in for CGF1 arrivals! First fractional with ASAP program now it includes maintenance as well. You CAN be fired for intentionally breaking regs or company sop's. It can and has happened! (As it should be!) After FO management had Flex flying Phenom 300 filed greivance and those a/c are now flown by FO pilots (scope)! Training and travel on company time. Three 8 day blocks of vacation (PTO) accrued per year. That is three times a year that one can have 22 days off in a row. This is just a few of the benefits of the first contract!
How's it going at for the individuals at an at will company?
