.. exactly how every worker hopes their union reps are handling such disputes. Unfortunately, aside from the greasing of palms behind the scenes, there's always the mewling, ass kissing, corporate media gate keepers running in to rescue any member of the has-way-too-much-already club they feel they can somehow portray as personally threatened...To summarize as briefly as possible, the position of the union is that they’ve given huge concessions dating back to 2003, when American was more or less at its lowest point. Now the airline is making billions of dollars per year, and rather than giving mechanics a better contract, they want concessions.
But the way the TWU President confronts Isom to his face is just…
Okay, but they get to keep their sick days.Unions and Democrats negotiation tactics , if everybody doesn't have a ridiculously high salary then nobody should have a job.
Oh the humanity! Won't someone.. aheht, aheht,.. please.. for once.. consider the lot of those poor, put upon, job outsourcing billionaires??
Sounds damn good to me after working for repubs that don't pay enough to live on.Unions and Democrats negotiation tactics , if everybody doesn't have a ridiculously high salary then nobody should have a job.

Say whaa?? You must be one of them Lefties from way back. So ungrateful you'll demand “internal equity” tests instead of just learning new skills and actually EARNING higher pay like your betters always have done and always will do. A worker's simply got to know their place these days like never before. Don't be gettin all uppity! DEMANDING stuff! What's got into you, woman? Sheesh, next you'll be wanting to vote or something!executives and management cut their pay and benefits for the good of the company?

Fantastic.
More Americans need to start standing up for their rights and future.
Big corporations are destroying themselves. Their greed is way out of control. It's hurting their workers and all workers in America. Wages have been stagnant for decades for workers but the wages for management and executives have continued to increase. The wage gap is now really so wide it's out of control.
These workers agreed to help out the company when they were having a hard time. Now when the company is doing well, the same company wants to keep taking from the workers. Needlessly. It's disgusting. I wonder if any of the executives and management cut their pay and benefits for the good of the company?
Unions are the workers. When you take away their voice, we end up with what we have now. Stagnant wages, traditional pensions that are basically non existent these days, benefits have been slashed workers being exploited. The list goes on and on with all that American workers have lost through the decades since the 80s.
Because of a union, while the rest of the nation saw their 401k and value of their homes be destroyed in the bush boy years, I still had the protection of a traditional pension.
When the collapse happens again I will still have that protection of the traditional pension. A pension only possible because SPEEA made sure that it was there.
