Yes DW is the point man for what is wrong. However it is not from a dislike of DW that we want to leave. It is the Teamsters management allowing Atlas interests to rise above all. Nobody on this planet can tell me that our contract “lowered the bar” for 1224. Yet, that is precisely what was used by DW wells against us. Ok, so maybe that was an anomaly. I personally know that Hoffa himself knows what happened to us. Guess what? It is now happening to Omni.
Teamsters mgt knows about it or should know about it and yet silence. It is a systemic problem. Either change the rules or we leave.
No reason at all for us to not have a board with one representative from each airline to decide if a contract is lowering the bar. I agree with the premise and see the need for an agreement.
My issue is the DW has corrupted the system and national leadership has done nothing about it. The word is suck it up cupcake or take your ball and go home.
Doesn’t leave us much choice
