A conference call was scheduled for noon today after a call last night in which LEC, MEC and ALPA lawyer AL listened to Bendo's pitch for relief, after a few shots were given to Bendo he was excused from the call. Deliberation were undertaken about compensation and scope of said relief, a call was later planned to firm up what we would give and get which was postponed until noon today at around 11:55 JA sent a letter to the LEC reps informing them he granted the company relief. Totally undermining everything including negotiations.

This catastrophic financially unjust relief won't fix anything either.
Every administrative department is understaffed and overwhelmed. Every employee at most stations have been outsourced ( no accountability, no stake in anything). And the new MEC chairman fell for the oldest trick in the book. I'd suggest anyone who is under 35 get their applications out.....
And to those thinking of working here- beware. Orenstein would be proud. I'm sure the four day off rule and the transition are next. All mgt has to do is say pretty please. With sugar on top.

Ackerman can't make policy on his own but he sure can influence it.

This what I'm talking about. He did it on his own. And let's not forget who voted him in....

Dance you flying monkeys, dance. The MEC demands it.

And, compared to this- that's small potatoes. This is massive. Massively Bad. With real impact on your everyday QOL.

It appears the purse strings have been released. They are not shy about 200% pay to get things back on track. Even though this problem is management induced I am willing to help get things back on track as long as the compensation is there. I think this was a smart play on the new leaderships part to garner some goodwill and make us some extra money.
