It means the company be ****ed "we the union" come first.They could care less about ongoing economic damage to the employer which is happening because crew scheduling,hard as it is due to seniority issues,is even harder now because of the splits in the union camp.
Thgis is where a government who has some "cojones" would normally step in and declare this bad for the consumer and force the changes required.But, we live in a socialist empire so it won't happen.

parnel, what are you on?!?
This current issue has to do with the mechanics of the last union elections. The bargaining unit is standing behing the agreement that they reached with management and they are continuing to recommend its ratification by the membership.
If this was as you set it out to be, the bargaining unit would be looking to scrap the negotiated deal and return to the table.
Next time you are going to offer union bashing commentary, at least ensure that you have read the original story first.

Yes, I am an unabashed union hater and have been very upfront about it since I started posting on FT.I am that way because I see daily in many sectors the harm unions now bring to our economy by their featherbedding tactics and lack of control over their own leadership.Judy Darcy is one of the worst at this game.She has a bully pulpit and uses it well.If the playing field were level for the employer things would be different.But we do live in a socialist utopia.
