My point is that if you address your crew like you do here you’re setting a terrible tone and likely pushing them away from supporting OUR team. You said yourself you’d fine a guy for not showing up at a union meeting (without asking why) or kick them out for not agreeing with your view. Cancel culture mentality.
My gosh, did I have to list all of the acceptable excuses for an absentee as well as detail an appeal’s process? LOL. It was an idea.
No. I never said I’d kick someone out of the union for not agreeing with me.
I said, if I were Chairman, I’d make these big meetings mandatory. Of course people will have valid excuses. My point is, if you don’t do what union members are supposed to do, why be in the union? Why should the union afford you the protections they provide if you’re not doing your part?
That’s my point. And I don’t think it is unreasonable.
I recently flew with a pilot who was pro pancakes. We had a good discussion about them. After our discussion the flight landed safely without any degradation in safety. This is what adults and professionals do.
I challenged FXlag because he knew more than he did. He played the, “I’ve got a secret” game why throwing the union under the bus. I’m not an apologist for the union but understand the challenges of why our meetings are not electronic. Let the process work. But in the mean time, get involved. These people volunteer. Yes we pay them but they put up with a lot more than I could eve deal with. And they do it to make sure the company doesn’t steam roll us. All I’m asking is that when they ask us to show up for a meeting that is held like once a year, we show up.
