Please help a fellow union brother not SCAB.

Bash the coercion all you want, but I'm betting that it's exactly that that has caused you to decide that you'd rather quit. Sounds like mission accomplished to me.

Quitting and moving on is what some of the most respectable former CAL pilots did during the strike.

There's a poster on here who talks of moving on from an undesirable situation...

 

[Flopgut]

United we stand-Divided we fall.

That's the easiest way I can describe it to you.

One pilot crossing the line gives management a hard on and let's them know that there are chinks in the armor. Especially if you're two years from a strike and you're already letting them know you'll scab.

That this is the tone of the conversation over there, means Mgt has them by the short and curlies, and the union is not managing this well. Build a case, then take a strike vote.

The coercion definitely works. I am just pointing out the contrast between normally moral and decent people who approve of this mistreatment of other people when it comes to unions. A deviation from how they live the other parts of their lives.

I have NOT said I will scab. In fact, I almost certainly won't.

Works for me.

You see, the "almost" in that sentence is the problem. You criticizing anyone else's morals is laughable.

Why is it laughable? I would never mistreat someone for disagreeing with me.

Stabbing your coworkers in the back while they fight for improvements is the lowest of the low. No one is worse than a scab.

There's one thing worse. A lot worse. And that's a union that eats itself and destroys other members lives for no legitimate reason. Pilot ranks are chocked FULL of them, and you're not helping in the least. There is absolutely NOTHING going wrong enough at Netjets for them to be having this conversation.

"Stabbing your coworkers in the back?" What an imflammatory phrase. Its always a war with you guys. War with the company, war with members who disagree with you, lifelong bitter conflict. Gad.

The company preys on those that are in the "almost" category.

They know that with your vote on the fence they only have to work hard enough to get just you to vote yes.

There's a union there for a reason.

Scan this page for a quick history lesson as to why.

Pay, Bennies, QOL, discipline, termination, and most of all SAFETY are the huge issues that your CB Agent have procured for you over the years. I would think someone that worked at a NETJETS type operation would have a sincere appreciation for having a UNION on property to keep those benefits coming and those detriments at bay.

If you're that "on the fence" then I would say you don't reallly have a very good grasp of what it is your union does for you and even more specifically, what they've done to get you where you are and what they will do should you ever find yourself on the wrong side of a discipline/termination issue.

On an completely unrelated-to-Netjets topic, I suspect that I'm not the only member of this board who finds it wildly hilarious that the irony of your comment about "decid[ing] that you'd rather quit" is somehow lost on you, PCL.

Another "mission accomplished"? :blush:

Why is that ironic?

 

[PCL_128]

I don't think he understands the meaning of the word "ironic."

I want good pay and conditions JUST AS MUCH as the union supporters do. ... Even if I honor the picket line, I would NEVER mistreat a scab, not for a second.

If you would treat a scab with the same respect you'd treat those of us actually working to better this place, then no, you absolutely do NOT want it "just as much" as union supporters do.

In your opinion. I actually would respect a scab more than a striker, because he will be trying to help the company survive the strike so we can continue to have our jobs.

Do you mean the irony of being glad that a dues paying member was driven from his job by the hooliganism of the union crazies? If so, I agree with you. This union "brotherhood" stuff is just a lot of rhetorical class warfare cloaking of darker forces at work, namely POWER OVER OTHERS.
