More UA MEC/NC BS: Inflation
1. Why are our pay rate increases this year not higher than the inflation rate?
The current inflation is a snapshot in time, while our contractual wage rates extend forward indefinitely. Once we negotiate a wage increase, that is in the book moving forward. If CPI goes negative, we don’t negotiate wage decreases. If inflation is high, we want a wage increase. If inflation is low, we want an increase. Over time, our wage increases have historically outpaced inflation. It is harder to do that in the current news cycle.
MEC: “If CPI goes negative, we don’t negotiate wage decreases.”
Is CPI going negative really an issue?

Our economy is built for and must have inflation.
The UAL ALPA leadership are management water boys. Beyond clueless
The are the opposite of a union.
Back to the line for all of the yes voters.
It will be disgusting to watch how many of them flow into management jobs. This is be prevented for 10 years, but they would have to vote for that change.
At Northwest we had an MEC chairman move immediately to VP of flight ops. Guess who scabbed us during the strike?
Get the vote out and save our profession. You can get at minimum $1 Billion more in short order.
Some may cry and whine but our Delta MEC and NC will attain a contract we can all be proud to work under.
