WARN notices to MX?
Heard GK today announced WARN notices going out to MX.
Foolish on his part even if it’s just a scare tactic and he doesn’t intend to actually go there. Hard to put the genie back in the bottle after doing something like that, esp at SWA.

I took a look at the IBT materials specialist union website. They say there are 300+ covered by their contract. Looks like the IBT materials specialists took from Sep 2013 to Mar 2019 to get a contract while SWA was earning record profits. 2 quarters of losses and now 42 of them are facing furlough. WTF?
edit: IBT website says they max out at $35 an hour. How much is SWA saving by screwing these guys?

So publicizing the furlough of 42 guys because their union says no concessions and then "graciously" giving other unions more time to negotiate looks a lot like shooting a hostage in front of the other prisoners. GK must be watching Sopranos re-runs.

Foolish, foolish, foolish. They have to realize how valuable the established history of not furloughing around here is. To flush the notion of SWA job security down the toilet is pretty reckless when: 1) there are other options available like additional rounds of ExTO and VSP, 2) a likely second round of PSP on its way now that the election is in the rear view mirror, and 3) lots of cash still available.
And let’s not even mention the $5.7B in government loans that GK turned down so that he could continue to pay homage to the almighty Wall St bankers and boost the personal bottom line of hImself and his boardroom buddies.
Oh ya, and Happy Thanksgiving motherf’rs. Nice look right before the holidays. It’s all about the luv.
