Will Atlas actions effect Polar as well?

I'm sorry Beaver but I just cannot see it that way. While the goals may be lofty, the fact is management is not your friend. How many times has your contract been violated? If they were so honorable, then I would agree with your premise; but the fact is that they constantly violate your CBA just as they did ours. There should never be a need for the grievance process. You can suck it up and let them get away with murder while you work toward a better agreement, which will never happen, or you can stand up to them and use the only tactic available to force them to actually bargain in good faith, which they never will. True, no one wants to force an airline to closure and loose a paycheck, but to let fear of loss of pay affect your judgement is just plain wrong. The company does not want that either so there some leverage.
We have two different groups, one who was bought by the company, who decided to ignore the CBA that went with the purchase, and another group that sees it as trying to take their jobs. The Poloroids feel the Atlas group and circumventing their jobs by using Polar as an ACMI customer. What the truth is can only be worked out by the respective parties to sit down and actually work toward a common goal of fighting management forcing them to honor the respective CBA's. Then collectively work toward a new combined contract that prtoects everyone's job. The collectively force them to honor the CBA. Going to the teamsters will not do that and the Polaroids who have actually work in a Teaster union environment sure does want that Get together and talk!!!!
