A recent email out changing the picketing event which was to take place in front of MEM now infront of the HDQ!
The race to the bottom is officially over and the move to raise the bar has
begun! We’ve had enough of management’s foot dragging and lame attempts to stall
contract negotiations. Now we’re ready to take it to the streets.
The street in front of the corporate office to be exact.
For our Memphis Informational Picketing on December 5, the Strategic Planning
Committee is going to close one lane of Nonconnah Blvd. in front of the Pinnacle
Airlines corporate offices to conduct informational picketing and a rally.
We want every Pinnacle pilot who’s not flying that day to participate in this
event from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Let’s show our management that we’re united in
our efforts to achieve a fair and reasonable contract in a timely fashion.
At 8 a.m., vans will begin picking up participants from the baggage claim level
of the Memphis International Airport and transporting them to the Holiday Inn
Select. At 10 a.m., picketers will be transported to the Courtyard by for final
review and preparation for the picketing. The Courtyard is across the street
from Pinnacle Corporate offices and will be used as the “break and lunch”
location for participants.
Picketing will be held until about noon, at which time Capt. Duane Woerth and
other ALPA leaders will speak to the crowds and call out to Mr. Trenary to agree
to a contract that we have earned and deserve.
Picketing will continue into the afternoon. Picketers will be transported back
to the airport for departures.
We will be joined by pilots from across the ALPA family who support our efforts
to take back the professionalism that has been stripped from our careers during
the last five years.
Let’s have a good turnout of Pinnacle pilots to tell management that their
“Last, Best, and Final, no not Final, yes now its Final” offer is simply the
worst, not good enough, and will not be final for Pinnacle Pilots!
