[QUOTE="BrownBusDriver, post: 72971, member: 4563"] One more thing. Yes, we have after a very long time negotiating, had to go public and try to motivate the company to quit "slow rolling us". We are still working at wages negotiated in 1997. I have lost 20+ real income in inflation since then, and every day the company drags this out, they profit in real dollars, in todays dollar value. Every day the company doesn't settle, they are provided the protection of work rules which we feel they are using to an extreme, and compromising not only safety at times, to certainly the long term health of the entire flying work force. Unlike other groups, the RLA which we are governed by affords the company the protection of "delay" negotiations, which provides them the opportunity to work us today based on almost a decade agos rules and wages. Are they taking advantage of us, YES. The RLA afford them this option through political influence and simply that the rules to not set a final date of decision making. It is very different working under the RLA, even on a daily basis, I cannot refuse to do my assignment, even if I am certain that they are breaking the contractual rules. I must fly then grieve. We have some 300+ grievences currently unsettled, and everyday the company continues this premediated course of operations, they safe money, and cost me and my family compensation. Am I being too harsh? BrownBusDriver [/QUOTE]
