That Allegiant pilots continue to bail out management, who creates a staffing model that is predicated on knowing pilots will staff VFNs and open time. He then stated it’s time for pilots to “read between the lines and that’s all I’ll say.”
If true, it is an alarming attempt at an illegal work action. If our Local Leadership is truly dumb enough to say something like this in the public forum, it’s time for them to go. The end result will not be IBT taking our $10,000,000, it will be management taking it the second one VFN goes unfilled in March and they sue the union.
The gross negligence that has taken place is teetering on the precipice of becoming a violation of the IBT’s duty to fairly represent all members of Local 2118. The blatant disregard of acting in our collective best interest is appalling. We are quickly approaching a year of Mr. Unterseher’s “temporary” tenure with Local 2118 and we have absolutely nothing to show for it.
At this time, it seems vital that we due paying members band together and question IBT leadership on Mr. Unterseher’s underperformance.
He knew what he was saying. It was highly inappropriate and it doesn't work. VFNs will be covered... every single one, they always are. Taking illegal job actions won't accelerate anything, it will only get us iced out and screw up any progress. I mean if progress has been made and like JA said, it's been a breath of fresh air, why hint at anything that could jeapordize everything? It's not like we can just keep asking for a new mediator everytime things don't go our way, come on now LOL.
