You don't need a union............ till you need a union. Do your guys have any recourse or fair representation in dicipline matters?

Gup

Gup

We do not.

Your "Values Committee" IS A UNION, all the guys have to do is petition the NLRB to recognize it. You don't even have to have a card campaign.

We were pay protected and paid double time (holiday pay)for everything. (not kidding). Maybe you guys can get that in your next ALPA contract.

seriously......Valentines Day a holiday......yeah riiiggghttt.

Hey Citrusflyer,

Management decided after the mess to retroactively designate all flying from the 14th through the 18th of Feb. as holiday pay. So, if you flew or were scheduled to fly you were paid double. You can turn off the sarcasm now.

In discipline matters we have the right to have a "Values Committee" member participate. As far as having contractual, union "protection" ... we don't have any. My personal experience has been if there is a reasonable explanation, there is a reasonable conclusion. Sometimes it seems like the guys that are doing all the screwups are the loudest advocates for a union.
One ex-USAirways guy comes to mind.
I wonder why he wants a union?

Good point.

We can have a "defacto" union if certain triggering events happen.
That's why the "Values" committee can NOT have a negotiating aspect to it but a COMMUNICATION aspect only.

But you make a good point.

don't do ALPA. go in house...if it comes to that.
