LSI Pilots Reject Contract Proposal
306 PHPA Local 102 pilots and staff working for LSI at Ft. Rucker, Al voted today to reject LSI's newest best, last and final offer. LSI threatend the work force with no wage increases until 2004 if they did not approve this contract.
The vote total was 291 against, 15 for.
This is a resounding no vote and a strong message to LSI management that the pilots are serious about these negotiations and expect a contract worthy of their skills and dedication to the job.
The pilots have also given the negotiating committee the power to call a strike if they deem it necessary.
