Until then, all this grousing about who or who isn't picking up (or being JM'ed for) open time is accomplishing nothing. Wait a minute, it does accomplish something: it gives people a scapegoat they can take out their anger on.
One other thing I would also mention is that we were understaffed before furloughs, we are understaffed now, and we will be understaffed when they all come back. Capisci?
What does sec.6 have to do with it? The union can't condone an illegal job action. (ref; PATCO strike, AA pilot sick-out).
BTW...being involuntarily jm'd is not the same as volunteering to help the company with their staffing problem.
So, would you be okay with 95+ hour lines and more furloughs?
I dunno'....maybe I'm wrong... if enough of you view this as a non-issue, I'll just have to add it to the long list of "Things I don't get"...(right below, "enough oral")
