Anyone know what's going on at PSA?

[peppermintpatti]

Yes, now I know who both of you are. Really life at psa is not all that bad now. We did not vote to unionize because of life at psa. It is the quality of life at psa that we wish to change. We want to be paid a fair wage just like all others. I believe that we are very underpaid as with most regionals.

 

[Ohh Porterhouse]

"Regionals underpaid" I am totally in agreement there.

I hope you're not expecting a pay raise anytime soon if and when you vote in the union. Everything is frozen until you get a contract. Everything you take for granted, now becomes negotiable.

Is the dispatcher Golf-Lima still at PSA?

Is the dispatcher Golf-Lima still at PSA?

Negative, he went to Republic.

 

[whatfuelpolicy]

Well, PSA dispatchers did it. They voted in TWU. 8 of the 12 voted for the union.

So what changes will be happening at PSA, since the union vote was passed? Will they be having more positions open or will they be letting people go? Will pay increase? Will it be a good place to get experience and actually learn about the field.?

 

[peppermintpatti]

Don't know, only been union for little over 24 hrs. My guess is that not much will change and the only ones to make out like a fat rat, are the lawyers.

Keep us informed on what the details of the contract are! Thanks. I'm curious to know if it included a decent pay raise...and maybe more vacation time for you folks?

 

[SKC]

bg, they won't know the details of the contract for (most likely) up to 12 months from now.

When I left Ryan they were almost to the year mark and still working on a tentative agreement (the first one). Albeit, the company relocated last June, so that delayed things somewhat.

 

[woxonwoxof]

Have to agree with SKC. Nothing happens until they get a TA (i.e. no pay raises). It took two years to get a T.A. at my blast job.

Funny!!!!! That's just what our manager said after he found out the the Union was voted in......YES!!!!!!!!! Are you a spy from the management?????

 

[boomer71]

The probelm with PSA is the managers like the high turnover, because why paid a person $13 or $14 per hour when you can get a new hire at$12.50. It's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

PSA has lost allot of good quality people over the years because of this way of thinking. That is why the UNION was vote in.

 

[woxonwoxof]

Sorry,no spy. Just speaking from experience.
