I'm referring to the company filed lawsuit on the grievance the company filed on us and we ignored it. We didn't process it via the grievance protocols. That company lawsuit is to compel us to follow the grievance procedure and will probably just end with an order for us to go thru the section 19 process on the company's grievance. Will probably end in an arbitration on that grievnce to determine if we are going to be section 1 (amalgamation) or RLA section 6 (able to strike) negotiations.
Mouthful of stuff to say and easy to get lost in the legal crap. I didn't do a great job on it and it wasn't very well explained before in the Chairman's Update 6-19-2018. It's still up on the union site if you want to cross check me or you can try to make the Atlas/Southern call that was recently changed to July 24 if you check your email. I'm sure it will come up again there or just ask on the call.
So yes, there is still a company lawsuit against us unless something more recent changed that.

I along with everyone else here noted the edited names (*) in previous posts all of a sudden. Got a few emails on it myself. Guessing a complaint was made and the moderators here decided to edit them because I called DC8DRIVER by his first name. Everything with a * was modified by someone else, not me. Not sure if they removed the news links on purpose or just as a result of their name editing unknowingly.
Funny how turning on the lights can cause the roaches to scatter.
This kind of brings up the fact that it doesn't take the company's social media monitors much via subpoena or using similar methods I use to identify posters. In the company's case, I know of a couple of our guys that got taken hostage and fired for getting too lippy and threatening. When I tracked for the union, the offenders sabotaging our previous leaderships efforts got elected to office without charges filed. Our current administration doesn't have a problem making up false charges just to make a point or for a sound bite on crew calls exampled by the FPL amendment that passed resulting in wasting a lot of time and money for all. Maybe they paid themselves more UB/FPL pay for their the time used.
