Allegiant votes in IBT

Your pay without a union was higher than Spirit with a union and a strike, why in the world would you want to vote in a union knowing that? Enjoy your current benefits for the next 6-8 years with no increase in pay or benefits, oh and the Teamsters charge more than ALPA for dues, so in essence you will have an immediate pay cut.

Is this immediate? When do the actual dues begin to be paid? Is there a grace period involved? Or do the dues start right away?

Actually we just got an email that stated...

"We have just learned that incoming Allegiant members will not pay dues until after our first collective bargaining agreement is ratified"

So no dues until our first CBA.

Not a bad deal Vegas. That’s weird of IBT. It could be years before a CBA is ratified. Those greedy S.O.B.s . Yet you get legal representation for things like; “calling in sick too much?”

Zantop voted in the IBT by one vote, a year later they were out of business. However the IBT made sure they took dues out of my final paycheck.

Zantop went out of business for many reasons.

The Pilots having a union had nothing to do with it!

Yes but a union could do nothing to keep it in business, and is it more than coincedental that Jimmy announced the shut down two months in advance to be the day before the first raise?

I was a teamster at one time.....what a joke of an organization when it came to representing a "professional" work group.....maybe they we're a better fit for Hostess Bakery truck drivers and the like, but they were totally unimpressive.
Very surprised that they won't collect dues until after a CBA....
But teamster style is "due to unforeseen expense in negotiating your agreement with company xyz, we must assess xthousand dollars from each of you."
Yes, you didn't pay dues, but you paid....
Good luck, and congrats on coming together, but my experience with teamsters is , they were dishonest as hell, and a former present of local 747 was caught embezzling, or taking bribes or something like that. Google it.

Loved getting the magazine with tomato-pickers on the cover when I was a "Teamster."

ALPA is a far better organization for representing pilots.

Well the IBT yahoos cant stand the heat of their "victory" and have shut down the allegiant pilots message board in an effort to silence the minority. Very cowardly if you ask me.
