im sure the company will either push comprehensive proposals once again, and/or do what they did in April. Which was propose 50% IF the union can collect the data running parallel bidding to show it can be done. The union better agree. I think that if in 90 days there’s no progress, the membership will revolt.
Right now GU is putting up a facade. By making it appear that the local is coming back by having comms come out from our pilot(s) and less of him. And that’s all it is; A FACADE.
Toonsters has already blown 4 years of negotiations, why not give them an extra 90 days? I'm sure something will come out of these mini-extensions [insert eye-roll here].
You're only hosing yourselves by not getting rid of GU now. You should've rid yourselves of the Toonsters after the first garbage contract GU gave you. The constant "let's just give them this one last chance and then we'll revolt" act is sad to watch.
By the way, what ever happened with those supposed charges against AR and the Exco??? I'm fully convinced this was just a ploy by GU to take over after getting his feelings hurt when you left his local and he wasn't able to collect your dues payments anymore for his exorbitant pay (along with the pay for the two high-priced & incompetent local attorneys). Sure, AR and his exco was ineffective and didn't know what they were doing. But rising to the level of criminality that required immediate (and lasting) trusteeship? Give me a break. GU is a parasite.
