The company proposal is cost neutral. If we vote that pos in we will be the laughing stock of the industry.
Wrong
Union data shows 20% a month get a conflict, 10% get is based on seniority and 10% get it for various reasons like training, vacation, 29/7 issues. Straight from a NC conference call about a year ago.
So who shall I trust, their data or yours that you should get it once every 2 months? Sorry but I don’t do well with arbitrary statements that if you try, you get a conflict without any issue.
Many people bid lines for commuting purposes, weekends off with family, layovers in specific cities for various reasons, and other reasons. Many people don’t live a life based or needing to live life with conflict blinders and that’s all they see and all they bid for. Many people don’t live a life of Flica sort of “first 6 days on or last 6 days off” every month. And for the majority that don’t seek conflict every month, understand that they don’t feel so attached to it as you do.
Imagine a world where you don’t need to have a 20 hour conflict and then pick up on top of it. Imagine a world where you can just work your line and afford to live. It’s not like people solely use conflict for drops and then enjoy the time off. Many use it to drop and repick up for more money because our rates suck.
