Thread: Delta/NW Union, Yay or Nay?

here is my 2cents...I say no...At Delta during the decline after 9-11 and bankruptcy, we were treated no worse then emloyees at other airlines that had representation, and it some cases we were treated better...yes, our management could just swoop in and cut our pay without negotiations - but take a look around, employees that had representation also got their pay and benefits cut - either thru negotions or forced negotiations by a Bankruptcy judge...what happened to the contract that can never be broken , it was broken!!!

when the NWA unions decide to finally call for a vote, which I think it totally sucks the Unions are delaying it waiting for the NMB to change the rules while they are calling for votes at other airlines...I will be voting no!! (if Ready Reserves are allowed to vote)

It is so much easier to vote IN a union then it is to vote one OUT...so now is the time to vote OUT the unions...this is the airline industry and there will always be a union rep somewhere with their noses all over the place wanting to represent us so if things dont go the way the majority likes, there is the opportuntiy to get back into the union...

I was raised with my parents dealing with their unions at manufacturing and chemical plants and came to realize at an early age that Unions have outlived their usefulness...when it comes right down to it - the security of your jobs is determined by the fiscal soundness of your company, not the union you are paying dues to every month...
