You guys want to walk around in circles with the "I'm being treated unfairly posters" go ahead but don't be surprised if people try to kick you ass or tell you to go **** off. There are better ways to get your point across. I prefer to use my pen.
It's not about swaying Joe Customer that you are underpaid. It's the optic that a certain airline is in labor disharmony with a group and the few Joe Customers who see that and decide to buy a ticket on SWA instead to visit their cousin in PHX.

Mgmt usually see's it as negative advertising that is preventable, with a contract of course.
