The actions of management CREATED the NEED for a UNION.
Free country. If you don't like how you are going to be treated, GO FIND ANOTHER JOB.
Now that one is on property, the Union is who management will need to negotiate with and hopefully resolve this managment induced situation.
I am glad to hear that the 70 will be getting their rightful jobs back. Damn good thing you had 1108 watching your back.
Yep, 1108 was watching their backs. 1108 knew the firings would happen as part of the negotiations process, they knew they would be offered the jobs back and they knew they would look like heros when it was all said and done.
The only back 1108 was watching was the location their foot landed on to push those pilots out the door so they could look grand in the end.
BEWARE: As previously stated, trust but verify. NetJets had Boisture negotiating against the pilots (with the wizard behind the curtain) then the wizard came out from behind the curtain to take credit for the turnaround and appear to be the white knight.
Has Ricci pulled the same bait and switch by leaving, having the management/Union tensions build, then come in as the FLOPS white knight?
Just beware and don't settle for less than you are worth just because of promises and new (old) faces at the table.
