To **** with this union.

Now that I’m following this closely, I’m beginning to see all sorts of AMFA positioning showing up in my feeds. Including many sob story posts from the union.

The essence: WestJet has offered big increases. Those increases would make AMFA the best paid in Canada. The union bosses are angry, and aggrieved, and are victims, and are horribly discriminated against because there are mechanics in one other country (not the one we live in) who make more. And they’re working hard to tell their members that they are aggrieved victims.

News flash: welcome to the real world. In my job, there are absolutely people in more than a few countries who make more than I do. There are also people in a hundred countries doing things like I do who make less than me. The fact that I don’t make the same amount as the best paid people I can find on the planet does not make me a victim.

And the union’s actions while this is in front of CIRB may be illegal. They - and their members - could face fines.

Feds: take action. End this. Get them back to work.
