NetJets To Picket

[G4dude]

Let me spell it out for you assuming you have the ability to read.....

I'm furloughed from Netjets, and would rather be furloughed than be taking it in the shorts with a non-union carrier. Or even worse, be part of a Union that gives in to every wimper management makes.

And I would fight for your right to choose. Why did you not give me the same right, instead forcing me to pay dues to a union I vehemently disagree with? By the way, I would take any job I could, union or not, if it allowed me to feed my family.

No one is forcing you to pay dues.

The funny thing is, y'all think I am some sort of radical. My views are middle of the road at the former NJI. Even my co captain last week, who is very liberal politically and a big Obama supporter, hates unions, and thinks NJASAP leadership is a bunch of fools.

And how is our favorite Air and Space Museum Docent these days? That must have been a sight, you two flying together....

Believe it or not, although the guy you cite is another liberal who dislikes unions, but my friend in this case was DS. Cheers!

Either pay or lose my job. Sounds like force to me, Opec.

lose my job

that would be better for everyone. Your intelligence level is gonna cause an accident, and we dont need that.

Still drinking I see.

Pay the assessment and you won't lose your job.

There's that "force" thing again. I want you to be free to join (or pay dues to) the union, and I want me to be free to not join (or pay). If I will lose my job if I don't pay the money, and this discussion is NOT about the money, then I am being forced to act against my wishes, while I do not want YOU to be forced to act against YOUR wishes. This is the tyranny of the Collective.

quit and go to a non union carrier if your're unhappy. Nj would better off without you anyway.

But the "collective" in this case is what maintains your quality of life and pay. I know you won't see it that way, but it's a fact.

Given the company's willful non-compliance in regards to certain sections of the CBA, why not see if that's another section they won't adhere to.

You are obviously unhappy with working for a union shop. Maybe it's time you voted with your feet.

My quality of life and pay was better when we were non union. Things are still good, though. The union seems to be reasonable. My main worry is that the union might become militant, which scares me to death.
