Unionize Skyregional !

Post by bigskyjoc »

Well now that the argument has started which is the old feed the family argument or turn down sweatshop wages there is an out. Unionize the dam shop IMMEDIATELY and hammer out a darn contract and get rid of these cancerous sweatshop regional Terms of Employment. Or else keep your comments to yourself and yes hang your heads in shame in the terminal. There are solutions and that is merely one of them. Unionize or drag the industry down. Just sayin.

Actually making a union will probably only drag the industry down further from past experience. I recommend a friendlier approach such as westjet: an association.
Something tells me forming a union will only make air canada choose another carrier to operate these aircraft, ie: shut down skyregional.

Associations only work if management is willing to play ball.

You are missing the facts of this issue bigskyjoc, airlines are in business to make money and they have a never ending supply of young pilots who will work for free.

You should be happy they are even offering a paycheck.

I bet if that people stood up and said no to crap wages there would all of a sudden be a shortage of qualified Canadians to fly for them. I wonder if that's the line Carson air used to fill an FO seat on the Citation?
