We need to make it so good for new hires that they can’t give it up. That’s the answer to the thread title. Instead new hires are paid less then minimum wage in training and no health insurance. You’d be an idiot NOT to be actively trying to move on as it stands.
He worked for it… but not long enough. That was the deal he entered into when he accepted the job.
Increasing first year pay and health benefits to ease the transition to Spirit is not the same thing as making it easier to cut and run with the company contributions.
We need to negotiate make the pay and lifestyle worth sticking around for more than 6 years, not worrying about trying to strong arm the company into paying out to those who choose to leave.
