The grievence process is spelled in the CBA and by the NMB. The company continues to violate the CBA and we rack up grievences. How is that fact a "boast"?
I get the impression that you don't understand how negotiations work under the RLA. You obviously don't approve of what is happening. What would you do differently if you were running things?
I hit a nerve…
you are correct I don’t fully understand how negotiations work. I logged in and listened for an hour and a half. I wasn’t happy with a lot of the responses to the questions presented. I was giving my honest opinion on a townhall that i feel did not give me much confidence in what is happening at our company.
contract time line? Pay, benefits
grievance?
work conditions? Day trips
if the company is violating the cba why isn’t something being done about it?
if you google airline unions: Airline unions allow employees to negotiate better pay, benefits, working conditions, and safety on the job. Unions also give employees a stronger position when dealing with airline management by allowing them to address issues as a united front.
Again i am really asking, what is the union doing?
ask anyone not holding a union position what they thought of the townhall and you will get similiar thought.
what woukd I do? Hold their feet to the fire
