[QUOTE="TWA Dude, post: 3595, member: 229"] XNav, you seem to be missing the point. No one at the unions are silly or stupid enough to put themselves out of a job. It's never happened. Some might bring up Eastern's demise although it was Lorenzo's will that killed Eastern. The IAM strike there just fell into his nefarious plans. The point of a union is collective bargaining. UA isn't bargaining in good faith. The IAM is putting on the pressure. It's a game, really, that management plays out until that last possible minute because it SAVES THEM MONEY. Bush in the White House has said that he won't allow any strikes to shut down major airlines. He has that right, however, the idea of the PEB (Presidential Emergency Board) was that the President would prevent a strike that would harm the economy and/or national infrastucture. But instead of preventing a strike at the last minute Bush has changed the whole Railway Labor Act by usurping the only leverage a union has! What incentive does management have to bargain when they know Mr. Bush is gonna save them? None! Look, I'm what you may call an anti-union union member. In many cases unions are wasteful and self-propagating through featherbedding. But I can tell you that pilot's unions have done more for the safety of the flying public than the FAA/NTSB and management combined. If you don't know already you'll soon see what I mean. Plus unions are granted access to confidential financial information that gives an idea as to how far to push it. To be sure, unions do a lousy P.R. job, but in the end most people empathize with the workers over management. G'luck [/QUOTE]
