Thread: God I sure miss Nwa

Hoping you're right

Sorry for the late response. You sound like MANAGEMENT if you work in TOC. I don't know anything about WORKBRAIN or MIRS. Not familiar with that lingo. I am UNION membership paid by the hour. MANAGEMENT gets paid salary. We get paid bi-weekly, not monthly. We must punch clocks. Management doesn't punch clocks. We are UNION. CONTRACT HOURLY employees. Do you know any other better way? (Besides stay at home?)

Workbrain and MIRS are accounting systems. I brought them up because we have received several letters and messages about the changeover. The new accounting system (workbrain) will switch us from semi-monthly to bi-weekly pay checks. That is why I was concerned with time clocks. We mechanics & leads at Delta do not currently punch a time clock, and are certainly not management.

As far as unions go BTDT with IAM-AW. I am so glad to no longer be associated with that group, in fact it is one of the reasons I applied to Delta. Maybe there are better unions out there, for folks who are trapped in them I hope so.

One last point on semi-monthly vs bi-weekly. Bi-weekly keeps your pay level through out the year, while semi-monthly gets you more money up front. (This assumes your pay rate remains the same through out the year.) I'd rather have the money up front, but many people prefer a consistent paycheck.
