They won't get an early contract deal (like they asked for) until they start behaving at the table. And they won't get a deal at all if they don't pull their bull**** health insurance proposal off the table.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
I think they are due to go back in a few weeks? We will know real quick if the company plans on pushing the issue or not.
National negotiations are scheduled to resume next week.
They go back next week. Call me crazy but I have a very strong feeling that the health care issue will be removed or reduced this go around. If reduced it will be off the table next time. It was just a tactic to reduce and offset some other aspect of the contract like PT raises, 9.5 language or something of importance. The company knows it owes its members for stepping up the last 5 years to produce record profits in a down economy.

we have been deliberately talking STRIKE over their healthcare proposal in front of managers so they can report that back to corporate.

Word here is management is going to go around and ask everyone how much they think they should pay for insurance. Sure hope everyone answers zero.
Ill let them know I don't think they should pay anything either. They are getting screwed lucky we have a union to back us.

That would seem like a complete waste of man-power. The answer would be "zero". Who thinks they should have to pay for something when they currently pay nothing?
You would think no one, but there are several right here on Brown Cafe who have said they wouldn't mind paying. THESE are the people who will grovel at managements feet and tell them they wouldn't mind a copay. THESE are the people who will get us a substandard contract.
Divide and conquer. It works.
I'll tell them I would pay 50% less than zero. That should get them to fry the computer as they implement the numbers into the system.
These people are either SCABS or management personnel. The same people that will rat a Teamster out!

I wouldn't mind part-timers paying $90/week, actually. Call me a scab if you must.
I believe that part-timers should be given the opportunity to buy their own insurance and starting wages should be $4-5/hr higher in return (catch-up raises for all seniority PT's).
It's not a career, yet it's not an $8.50/hr job. I think the above addresses this.

Your fellow teamster airline mechanics will be standing along side you and i'm sure the pilot's will be there also like we were in '97. So nothing will be flying unless mgt mechanics/pilots try to move it. Kind of looking forward to an august vaca. Good luck and remember, they tried this bs of paying for healthcare with us. Soon after we took our strike vote and it made it into all the newspapers, we had a contract soon after.

So you think we deserve to pay almost 50% of our weekly paychecks to health benefits (this is even with your "raise") because you've come up with some arbitrary definition of what our job is? Am I close?
