Well, like I said in my Bio for the election, this will be learning the ropes by fire. But that's fine for me, I don't need things sugar coated.
As you noted from bringing up my old posts, I've been in a union a while. About 2 decades. I'm familiar with the operation in general. In my last union, I'd been a "Local President", similar in concept to my current position in SAPA. And I'm not exactly wet behind the ears in general.
Not surprisingly, many of the issues any labor force has are more similar than different. Money, vacation, work schedule, are all common themes. Doesn't matter if we're driving a bus or a plane.
It will take me awhile for me to learn the system, clearly. But the option is to sit here on the internet and ***** and moan (and generally do nothing else to substantially help). I prefer to make my best effort at being part of the solution. You've obviously chosen you solution.
giving fo's a 8 dollar raise. hell i would think that too if i had just started here. but experience is a great teacher. i can see that if we took this pay raise that it my help me right now in my pocket book, but it will do nothing for what we are trying to accomplish.
Not really sure what you're referring to, nor what you're trying to accomplish. I don't know anything about an $8 raise.
