It seems that beaver driver and icarus are under the impression that a colored president and socialist congress will thwart the musings and downright dishonesty of AAWH/AABO. They won't. All politicians think alike with total disdain for the citizenry. Just when they (the union) think they won, the company will fold and voila, a new one will be on the horizon. I have learned over the years that unions tend to think in 5 year terms, companies think in 30 year terms, therefore the company will always win.
After ALPA and the rumblings from the IBT, with no input from the aggrieved over our already won arbitration, I have little faith that anyone will ever win anything against the slugs at AAWH. It is tough to win when the opponent has no morals.
Pessimistic? Yeah. Hope that I am wrong? Yeah. But what I am seeing there no other outcome at this time.
Bill - just to be clear. I am probably a whole lot more conservative than you. And I didn't say colored (I dare you to go out on the streets of Memphis and say that) I said "democratic" congress and president, who are a whole lot more interested in listening to the unions than republicans.
And still we don't know why you care. You have a better job than you would at Atlas. I guess it is just your nature to keep the beans on the bottom from burning.
