UAL78 said:Hmmmm...the only ones who are making threats are the flight attendants. "Will not be tolerated" is simply making your position clear. I may be incorrect, but I believe the pension issues are done deals. Why are they thumping their chests now? What do they expect to accomplish?
Got to wonder how many mechanics might still be on the property (if they wanted to be) if they'd been a little more in the mood to play ball in the early stages.
Just a thought.
"Will not be tolerated" sounds like a threat to me. What can the company do, fire them? What I'm getting at is this is a poor approach to managing your labor. People with any backbone (and very little to lose) tend to stiffin their resolve when this kind of language is used. Of course the FA threat will probably also stiffen management resolve (also people with guaranteed pensions and golden 'chute--very little to lose).
What the hell do I know, I'm just a regional slave--chained to a soon-to-be-bankrupt master. But I do have friends at United. I guess I have to ask when is enough, enough?
