UAW will not extend GM contract, but no decision on strike

[turbinetree]

6. Airlines.......................we had to contend with the Railroad Labor Act

and then if we went on strike which we did, one time at USAir 1992....................it was not good.

Pilots crossed the picket line the flight attendants had a temporary injunction and wanted to join the strike, but a judge said nope if you do fines.......gate agents being pressed........all the they (pilots) had to do was say, we are not going to fly planes that are being deferred on maintenance and it is safety issue, but they had settled their contract in June and they were not going to honor the strike, .................... ..............they did not, and to this day I think of ALPA as a bunch of self serving (jerks to put it mildly, real mildly)..........................we took our strike vote, and there were people literally going across the table to the negotiators on the mechanics side willing to give in to the management team.

It is and was amazing to watch even after all of these years on how the courts basically handled this and how other unions sided with the court threats basically or face a fine, or they were just not going to honor the strike.....................and now after all of these years, the outsourcing is running rampant, and job classification is being bastardized......................... to keep costs down
