IBT Scare Tactics at NAC
The Teamsters are pushing the pilots at NAC to sign the CBA they’ve agreed on with the company, which involves significantly lower pay than other 767 freight operators and no home-basing. They’ve raised the 737 pay enough that it will probably get voted in, but just for good measure, they’re telling the members that if we don’t vote to ratify, we’ll have to throw out the whole CBA, start from scratch, and it’ll be at least two years until we see a new agreement. Smells like BS to many of us. It sure seems that when the Teamsters are done negotiating, they’re done. If you don’t like it, you can pound sand.
To anyone considering working here, be ready to pay for a crash pad that you’ll spend most of the month at, all while making a lot less than your peers across the ramp. Seriously, just go work elsewhere. This place has nothing to offer a new hire if you don’t live in HNL or ANC.
