I am pretty sure you are not doing this intentionally and probably do not even realize it, but your above argument is basically carrying managements water.
The company can rake us over the coals in BK and we should worry about us destroying the culture of DAL by helping other labor groups organize?
They grant themselves BK proof pensions while they terminate our pensions and it is us who will be ruining the culture?
The decision to further degrade the current culture, which is already a far cry from what it used to be, will be managements. The ball is in their court.
They can earnestly negotiate or let this whole section 6 elevate into a disaster for all involved.
We will have to compromise, but that is OK. It is a negotiation and it takes two to negotiate but if management wants to drag this on for years then the blame for any further degradation in the DAL culture will fall squarely on their shoulders.
Just my 2 cents.
