Please. What are you going to do? Quit? There are thousands of guys who will gladly take your spot for $20k/yr.

Job Action? Sick out? Pamphlets? Refuse to fly on SkW planes? What exactly do you think you have leverage with? I don't see it.

All bluster. Reminds me of a union leader I knew who was pretty good at speaking. A natural. Good at stirring up the troops.

But, the smartest thing he ever said, "this union does not now, nor will ever, hold all 4 aces. Never. And when push finally comes to shove... if we can't win in Congress, court, public opinion, etc, we will each go to work, just like we do every day.

You may not be happy, but you will go to work, and live to battle another day."

Go file your lawsuit. But don't threaten bad things if you don't get your way. I suspect SkW, Inc would love to hire hundreds of $20k/yr employees to replace as many 10 year veterans as they can.
