Lol, my reading comprehension is fine. You wrote some BS about strikes being ineffective and some simple broad statement about people changing things.cloak wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 9:16 pmUnions, as organizations on papers and buildings in which they are housed don't change a thing, rather it is the people, hence the saying a union is as good (or bad) as the people on it. Your 19th century shibboleth no longer applies as we are not dealing with tyrant mining companies who force workers underground with no safety measures. It's generally safe now! Next time read the comments before going off on a rehearsed union incantation reply!5degrees wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 11:44 amUnions and strikes don't change things??? That's an absolute asinine statement, historically unions are responsible for the implementation of what we now consider basic work rules eg the 8 hour work day. The relationship between management and employees can't get much worse. Your posts give the impression that you're more concerned with your personal situation than what's good for the pilot group.cloak wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 7:55 am I believe during previous negotiations the union agreed to abandon strike ambitions in return for company voluntarily ceding Swoop representation to the same bargaining unit and both agreed to binding arbitration. Some seem to assume that a strike is the panacea to all their ills and life will grand after! More than likely not unfortunately! A strike will likely damage both sides financially, damage company potential (and by extension employee potential) going forward, sour relationship even more, and quite likely end up in arbitration anyway! Unions or strikes don't change things; PEOPLE change things!
Yeah we're dealing tyrant stock holders instead. Someone posted that you're a Swoop DEC in the Sunwing forum? If so, that explains your anti alpa bias.
