Let me just preface this by saying I am aware that this is premature since we haven't even started contract talks, but it is coming around the corner. Until recently, I had no idea that we had a no strike/lockout LOA in our contract at AWAC. This is extremely disheartening given the current treatment by a team of managers who seem to care less and less about their employees by the day. I'm wondering how common this is at other carriers. Does anybody else, that they're aware of, have a similar no strike/lockout clause anywhere in the contract? And if so, what is the point of even negotiating. Unless I am reading it wrong, this takes out what little bargaining power we have to begin with.
