[QUOTE="ezrider, post: 58223"] I can only hope that this is an isolated incident and that it isn't the start of a trend. Although I can certainly relate to the frustration in putting up with the current state of the workplace that may have likely brought this on, the chances of this tactic bringing a desirable result to the drivers is slim to none. Years ago I can remember the employees at TWA becoming fed up with being jerked around by management and the result was the ill-timed "sick-outs" done at a much more widespread scope across it's operations during the Christmas season, resulting in plenty of stranded passengers with no hope of spending the holiday with friends and family. I highly doubt any of those passengers left in limbo would ever have booked another flight with TWA again after being left high and dry. Less than a year later, TWA filed for bankruptcy. Given thier company's shaky financial status at the time of the selective "sick-outs", I can't see how the employees could have been surprised at the outcome months later. That's not saying they didn't have a legitimate beef with the management, but one of the easiest ways to jeopardize one's job security is to stop showing up for the job. [/QUOTE]
