Fedex pilot TA Roadshows have always been a sales job that highlights the negotiated improvements. They (the NC and MEC) have worked hard to get an agreement, they are tired, they want to process to end.

I'd like to thank them for their hard work. Like always, I'll read the TA and see what they "forgot" to tell us about?

True. I still remember the FDA LOA 1 vote for 2700 for Paris and HKG with 0 tuition allowance and 500lbs of his houseHold goods.....

And that passed 68 to 32

You guys have to read the council 22 Block 7 reps latest missive....

Authentic Western Gibberish.

Here's his opening paragraph:

"I read somewhere once that the most vexing thing about truth is the inescapable logic behind words and actions. Truth isn’t hard to accept when we’re on the side of right. But when we’re struggling or short on resources and time, truths are akin to the long arm of the law in the Old West. I’ve also heard it said that some people never let facts get in the way of a good argument."


*** does that mean? Logic, Truth, short on resources and time? Really?

Worse yet, here's the last sentence of his barely literate closing paragraph..the summary, in conventional essay writing...

"I have heard it said a few times in my life that pigs get fed and hogs get slaughtered."

I'm starting to get tired of these guys referring to anyone who doesn't like this TA as Hogs who will get slaughtered...what vegetable came up with that comparison? Versus Pigs being fed? What an insult...

Our own reps referring to us as pigs and hogs....I guess my rep speaks for me...not...


He goes on to whine about being stunned about what he's read etc etc...you gotta read it all you Pigs and hogs

Sorta like BC calling no voters on HKG FDA LOA1 proponents of hysteria. If you dont have a good argument.....attack. That should say a lot.

skypig,

I propose that you run for a union office or volunteer for a committee job like TonyC and Albie did.

I'm sure you could do a much better job ...

Is that a "Fact" or just another urban myth?

Other things I've heard that supposedly came from the mediator:

To the NC - "You will never be released to self help"

To the company - "If you don't come up with something soon, I'm releasing them to self help"

To both sides: "if we don't have an agreement soon we are taking a 6 month break"


I'm sure there are more quotes from the mediator!

I don't believe any of them!

Both of these are fact, and were told to me by a person who was in the room when they were said.

If so then our NC should have immediately requested a new mediator - the one we have is obviously showing bias!

So from speaking to a couple of reps, they have been trying to hold a special meeting but apparently the yes voters are always unavailable, so a quorum can not be established. It is just another way for the powers within to ram rod this down the sheeps throats. I would think our chairman would step up to the plate.
