That is the environment that you are negotiating in and if you believe you deserve parity in the industry THAT is where the bar is set. When the MEC pickets in DEN I will be there - in unity.
Absolutely! We need much better hourly rates and a better 401k contribution. United's retirement contribution is killer. I'd say it's probably better than almost any other job out there. We appreciate the unity you offer. I'm sure we will be picketing in the future, and we'd love to have your support
