You really do not understand corporate rhetoric or union sabre rattleing do you. Your just a pawn in the game my friend.
Total management kool-aide ...
Maybe if our uniforms were black and not brown there wouldn't be a furlough.
Maybe if our crew stairs were older and rustier, we wouldn't have to furlough.
Maybe if we paid for our own Jepps, we wouldn't have to furlough.
All of the above makes as much sense as "Maybe if there was more of a level playing field between the companies there wouldn't be a furlough"
All that quote proves is that you were paying attention at one of the required staff meetings.
MAYBE if contract openers weren't around the corner, there wouldn't be a furlough. Because UPS is the first and probably only company to COMPLETELY walk away from VOLUNTARY givebacks from a union group. When that group met 90% of the goal, the goal was changed. Yeah, this company "needed" those savings alright ...
When the FAA bill doesn't "level the playing field", can we expect more furloughs ? Maybe even a few management terminations, if they really need to save the money ....
