Get on the program, or leave with $130k. Nobody is backing down. Even a monkey can realize this fact.
Likely multiple phone trees in play to get 100 corrupt block 11 lewsers in one place to start the recall only to lose so badly you people should literally quit the union. Embarrassing. Ok, bye!
What's embarrassing is believing one can actually "quit the union". Maybe section 29 will be your red pill as to the rather unambiguous collusion that exists between ALPA and the corporation but for many it was the last 3 years of gaslighting (Threats of furlough, crushing legal consequences, etc etc) they endured, and continue to endure from union leadership at the behest of management. Many of those same people find it a bit off-putting the amount of money they pay to retain such "representation"... especially while being forced into making go/no go decisions at their local Kroger.
Look if you want to believe "nobody backing down" means pizza parties, lanyards, tough emails, and taking articles of clothing off at work.. that's great, I genuinely support your right to put stock in those actions. That said, I think it would behoove you to realize many out there see that kind of thing as nothing more than, as you so eloquently put it, "talking sht".
