the long run

The union notices earlier this year said the gains vb were wanting were long term. The recession only set rules what bargainers could ask for this year for example not increase unemployment and not cause companies to go bust by high pay claims.

The roadshow I went to; crew complements came up and the union told us that there was a protection in there, called substantial workplace change-I think it was -where any reduction to crew complements by vb 737 or ejet means we can be compensated for this somehow.

If we tell 'em they're dreamin by voting no, will everyone be prepared to go on strike to get the difference between this offer and what we want?

Unless everyone is prepared to strike then they'll tell us we're dreamin.

Resigning on mass to go to a new job wont scare them into offering more money, we'd have to go way further than posting on pprune forums and take industrial action.
