Can I take off my lanyard, stickers and bag tag now?

I’ll actually answer this. Union said to wear it until the final vote is done.

We need to do at least 3 rounds of polling on the subject before any lanyards should come off.

I’m taking mine off… We have a proposed contract largely endorsed by the union. So if the goal was to show the company a sense of urgency/desire for a contract, well, we have it. If we go back to the drawing board and the company start stalling again, then it’s time for a new lanyard.

in my mind, the goal was to show the company that there was not a vocal minority pushing for this, but that the vast majority of us felt that the speed with which the company proceeded in negotiations would affect our perception of their appreciation for our contributions. I think we showed that solidarity well, and their results are in front of us now.

Back to independent contracting huh?
Union is asking us to wear it until the end of voting 🗳️

Taking mine off, as well.

Ok in a couple weeks I will too after it passes.

You mad brah? P!ssed that most of us don’t want 67?

Nice english.
I don’t really care what you want regarding Age 67. Congress will decide, and you and I have no say in the matter.

If 67 passes, what percentage would you guess would work past 65? Just a guess. No right or wrong answer?

If currently over age 55 - 86%

If under 55 - 65%

Those under 55 will make so much money over the next 10 years (barring a black swan event) than those over 55 the past 10-20 years (due to a black swan event 22 years ago today).

I hear you man. There’s a spectrum. On one end is: I always look out for number one and the other end is: I dogmatically follow Whatever the union tells me to do. I think the vast majority of us are somewhere in the middle. I guess I’m not exactly where you are, but I’m very grateful for Union and am proud of what they’re doing.

You mean actually working? Or going out on the LTD gravy train that would be handed to them on a silver platter?

Actually working…

I think you should keep your lanyard on.

Because nothing says you're serious than making bag tags/lanyards in company colors after 4 years . -- no more malarkey.

That bag tag is awesome, I never received one and would be happy to take it off your hands if you don’t want it.

A guy with a Ted avatar or "The end of United" would try and convince us that what's happened over the past 3-4 years was a success. TA-2 retraction after no polling, using PDR data as polling data - obtaining an agreement slightly worse than Delta's from a mediator - oh and the "48 hour" MEC chairman, but you have your flair on!

I will be more than happy to take anyones paraphernalia off your hands to add to my collection.

98.9% jus tlike when it changed to 65

I'll bet lower. Why?
Medicare kicks in at 65.
Full SS retirement age is 67.
The financial markets have performed much better over the last decade vs a 2007 lookback.

Having medical without having to pay for bridge coverage after retirement is more valuable than full SS retirement age.
