For the longest time I have defended the union and tried to steer everyone's frustrations towards the company and not the union.
Recent events have basically confirmed that I was wrong.
The union is an absolute disaster and it's hurting our negotiating progress. We now have a union that's infighting is so bad it basically can't function. Our mediator is giving the union time to clean up is act. That's costing us precious time in a fight against a company that's doing everything to slow roll negotiating.
Contract 2028. Delta may actually get one before us which was basically unthinkable before now.
