You think the neg. committe hasn't beat their heads against the wall the 240 times that they've met with mngmnt over the last three years? That's two thirds of a Year! I don't know where they get the restraint they have. I'd have reached across the table and strangled the company's neg. team by now.
They are constrained by the RLA and everything that goes into a CBA at an airline. As long as the company doesn't do anything too stupid the mediator will give them leeway. The only real power that a labor group has is self help and there are steps to get there. Very long ones for us I guess. I don't know all about the process but, I do know it gets frustrating. I was at TSA in 2000 when we came up to the strike deadline twice. It was frustrating then and it is now.
But to throw the baby out with the bathwater just cause you think they aren't doing anything is stupid and won't make it better. If you think you can do better, then do it. Get involved, but don't say they aren't doing anything.
