He is a reactionary, classically trained accountant, who doesn't part with money unless it's pried from his fingers. Much similar to our management. Attrition won't fix our problems, only solidarity and some well placed ads, pickets, and an ALPA sanctioned job action.


Yet he was under no contractual obligation to give them this. Do you think that out management would make this type of move?

Obviously it's a business move. I have been following parker for a decade. He is shrewd. But he sees a business case for improving employee morale. A link between compensation, employee satisfaction and productivity.
