Yep, this was passed a few months ago. Good thing. We all applauded it

 

Back Pay sounds even better....

 

“Delinquent payments, sent to Collections”

 

James Bond was a little confused.

 

Retro is not going to happen. That ship sailed after year two of negotiations.

Focus on some kind of “signing bonus”.

Same for everyone? Seat specific? Seniority based? Based on total earnings over negotiations timeframe?

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

 

A rose by any other name. As long as the $$ is there, call it what you will.

 

Same for everyone. I would have loved that 37 years ago. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

 

Some cruises are long.

No rewards for sending inexperienced negotiators lacking job knowledge. No rewards for dragging their feet. No rewards for public negotiations and attempting to pit other employee groups against us. Retro is a must as a deterrent to this same BS next negotiation.

The RLA favors management in dragging out negotiations. An IRONCLAD retro policy is the only possible way to offset that. And it needs to be implemented ALPA-wide, profession wide if possible.
