A delta guy was on one of our flights and he was cussing his Union. They charge him 5% and now that their machine boys union want to fight they want to take more money from him to boost the funds to one million dollars and then take money from their checks anytime the fund drops below that during a fight. How do you like losing what you have like letting your kids jumpseat? With a union all bets are off and EVERYTHING is negotiable! You who want a union now have no clue what you have and will lose. What will you gain that you can't do without a union? Think about it before you vote. Most guys that wanted information had no clue they were asking for a union vote just by asking. What information did you get? Who is the leadership? What is their goals? What are they doing for you that will help this company? The biggest complainers I have ever run into are union guys. If this company is so bad why not just go to another Company? There are lots of other Unions that would love to have you!
I'd love to see you prove or cite your source for the 5% dues. I'm guessing you can't! Stop being a lamb that's being led to slaughter. Sounds like you've been duped by mgmt propaganda.....of course, all airline mgmts would have you believe you're going to pay 5% of your wages and you will no longer have an 'open door policy' once you become union. Don't buy it......(edit remainder, 'cause I don't have anything else nice to say).
