Something’s Cukoo Allright
Poor IAM. With each
communication, with each email, they demonstrate more and more how little they
know about our current work rules (some IAM campaigners and staffers don’t even
think we have work rules).
Clearly they will grasp at
any and every straw possible to lie to us and delude us, just so they have the
potential opportunity to reach into our pockets and steal from us (to the tune
of $14 million per year). Another nail in the coffin of the IAM campaign is the
ridiculous “Something’s Cuckoo” email they sent out today.
The Machinists union doesn’t
even understand the basic fundamental difference between our PPT and sick time
at other airlines. This is one of those Delta Differences that other airlines can’t
match.
Only Delta’s PPT time can be
used for absences other than illness. The sick time at other airlines CANNOT be
used as: extra vacation days; pre-plotted days off with pay; or for trip drops
(TDOT) with pay. The sick time at the airlines the IAM lists in their chart
CANNOT be paid out at the flight attendant’s option each year (to the tune of
over $2,500). For a true apples to apples comparison, they would have to
compare the Delta Certified Time with the other airlines’ sick time. And in
true transparency, they would also have to include a separate column in their
chart for PPT. Of course the entry in the IAM-negotiated PPT column would be a
big fat ZERO, because that’s how many hours of PPT time IAM members enjoy.
Poor IAM. They keep racking up
zeroes. How can they represent us if they don’t even know us?
Is there really ANYONE left
who believes in their smoke and mirrors campaign?
Where is the COMPREHENSIVE
comparison of pay, benefits and work rules? C’mon IAM! Gives us some truth and
facts!
Please
share this email with your friends and coworkers.
