Management already did this to all the other work groups, they have been bled dry and reached the lowest common denominator to meet the "maximum accepted level of service failures" (just look at how difficult it is to staff our night hub operations whenever there is a slight hiccup), now they are going after "efficiencies" and money from our part of the workforce pie. It's all about the profits for the shareholders. Long term value? Gone. Brand reputation above all else? Gone. Management bonuses and multimillionaires: multiplying as we speak. I suspect if the TA passes, we will have a few more tens of $millions handed out to those who helped craft this piece of work.
