All they have done is cut her benifits and pay. She has no job seniority. She is on strike now...and and has no money coming in. How's that for giving 18 years of your life to a company. <BR/>PLEASE DO NOT FLY NW.....

You wouldn't believe the stuff that is coming out about skipped inspections, grounded planes, etc. If the execs know what's good for them, they'd give their union mechanics everything they need.Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221976140171029175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653541.post-1124931800345791952005-08-24T20:03:00.000-05:002005-08-24T20:03:00.000-05:00Good for you, Lizzy.

The only reason it happened was because the company knew how united the members were and what we were willing to sacrifice for each other.Jim Marquishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192637469594429978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653541.post-1124922173136878522005-08-24T17:22:00.000-05:002005-08-24T17:22:00.000-05:00If theres one thing I do know about its aviation, ...If theres one thing I do know about its aviation, I just can't understand why the execs always go after the engineers. One thing is for certain it does underline the importance of a strong union movement. <BR/><BR/>Can't say I'd envy anyone travelling on NW.Damienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18216696796162994082noreply@blogger.com
