Oh, you mean the announcement which required plagiarizing the U.S. Department of Labor to even feign understanding what Labor Day is all about, other than an excuse for a long weekend and the deadline for wearing white. Oh, and speaking of long weekend, it's an extra-long 3½-day weekend starting at noon on Friday for the MEC.

Labor Day to our MEC certainly was NOT about anything related to acting like a LABOR UNION and standing shoulder to shoulder with our fellow union members in picket lines across the country. Our MEC was too busy feeding their delusion that The Company would voluntarily come to the table with a checkbook and a generous heart to offer a TA that meets our meager goals. They must be so stunned that it didn't happen that they don't know how to word the announcement that they'll be extending negotiations yet another time -- will this be three times now? -- by adding more days of meetings. What they SHOULD be announcing is multiple picketing events and a strike vote, and they should be publishing The Company's openers which would expose The Company for who they really are instead of protecting them in hopes they'll be more generous to us.


I drove from Memphis to Atlanta so I could walk the picket line with Delta pilots. They seemed to understand the significance of Labor Day. I saw a couple of other FedEx pilots there as well. Some of us get it. It's time that our "leaders" started getting it. Or maybe it's time for new leaders.
