No Union would deny that the company had the right to communicate whenever it needed/wanted to
Of course the ultimate expression of management incompetence is thinking that communication and negotiation are the same thing.
RB is no different to MOL in his attitudes only in his deliverance of those attitudes.
No doubt that what is happening at VA comes from the very top via Sycophants who know what they are doing but don't really care.
Again, good luck to the pilots....
