Since we are blue collar workers. Always have been and always will be. why dont we look to the real trade unions for our guidance. The Carpenters and Joiners, The Steam Fitters, the Electricians, the Plumbers etc......All of those unions do all of the training for their members, handle the insurance, handle the retirements etc......They also set the standards for becoming an apprentice, a journeyman, a master and they set the standards for specific training cards such as scaffold erectors or boiler installers or staircrafters etc...They negotiate pay rates for each level, for each specialty etc...They set per-diem and cola rates and they also handle any type of reprimand, downgrade/ loss of specialty, exclusion and permanent expulsion. They negotiate how many of each specialty will be on each job etc....It is time to distance ourselves from the white collar scum bag types that have brought us this national disaster called the air traffic system/alpa/apa/ipa/npa/etc...etc..and become labor in our hearts and our minds and our souls......Lets negotiate with scythes and pitchforks and sledgehammers and wear boots to work and throw away our attachment to Delta and American and all the other silly ass airlines and just go to work for the Pilots just like my friends who work for the Carpenters and Plumbers and Electricians etc....we will never again face the ravages of a system that forces us to stay with a loser.........more later
Sounds good! What about ... the RLA.
Facing the ravages of a system that forces us to stay with a loser is by design! It was intended from the begining....
If you want to change it... then you are going to have to pry it from the dead cold fingers of the old white men that control the distribution of wealth in this country... and soon.... the globe.
Sounds good. Count me in....
