Here we go again.
You heard him...you pilots better give up while you still have a job! Don't you realize what you're risking????? If you keep this unruly behavior up you're likely to make Lekites start his period a little early!!!
When we organized there were 7 supervisors actively dispatching out of I think 58. Since the NMB decides class and craft (not the company or their lawyers) they were all given the choice to stay management or take a seniority number. 7 out of 7 took seniority numbers. So it basically went like this: TWU-- "We'll take all of the the supervisors who are dispatching since they fall under class and craft." UPS-- "Uhhhh, okay."
Man, what a fight!!! It's not the least bit surprising UPS has the arrogance to think their lawyers can overturn the NMB's class & craft rulings along with legal precedence set at this airline and many many others.
