Wage theft
 
Can someone please explain to me how.. when 63% of claims prove to be inaccurately paid the first time.. the company isn’t being brought to some lawful remedy concerning wage theft?

how do we have no teeth in this and it continues from a department of labor level?

if the above and below wing workers weren’t paid correctly, wouldn’t there be some level of state investigation to that effect?

what am I missing?

this is getting ridiculous

Agree completely. Been going on way too long. Where is ALPA with the justified escalation, especially with the mountain of evidence?

The timing of this email, coming out the same day as some silly e-card from mgmt…..is priceless.

Can we get some bag tags? “63% of the time, it’s wrong every time”

Agree. ALPA is slowly and methodically ratcheting up the pressure. I think they are doing to do it “clean” if they do file a lawsuit, to show how many attempts they have the company to do the right thing.

Lmao. So true.

100% agree. It's infuriating.

Agreed. Quit telling me about it and do something about it. Making a 4 part video series on how to check your check is NOT doing something about it.

United’s pay is completely automated. And that includes the most recent contract where many provisions were copied/pasted from Delta’s. The idea that it’s too hard to promptly program is laughable.

There is one exception though. It’s a manual process for them to get compensation pay for not getting a first class deadheads seat.

We only get the add pay if we have to sit in a middle seat. I like your idea better though!

Does United get first class on most domestic DHs? We only get it for 3 hour legs that have a flying leg after.

They get first on every DH, if available at the time of booking. If an F seat wasn’t available at the time of booking, they’re placed on the upgrade list ahead of all other passengers (unless the DH was created less than 3 hours prior to departure).
