......And we thank you all so much for your email! The Company is not opposed to the
crossover, but the union (AFA UA MEC) we believe prefers not to erode their membership base which is why they refused the crossover the first time it was offered.
The dues monies would go to CAL MEC while the UA MEC loses dues from
furloughs and crossovers. Finances would seem to have had more to do with the decision for UA MEC, rather than what is beneficial to their membership. Which is why instead of allowing us to vote on the "Continental like" contract in 2010 in order to enter into joint
negotiations, they chose instead to go into the s-UA "substandard" Section 6
in 2011 and here we are!
The only reason the crossover was offered the second time is because the Company
made it a condition of the Expedited Negotiation that became our ratified contract.
Now, the best avenue is the combined contract. If it delays significantly, there
is nothing that says a crossover cannot be considered again. Unfortunately, those of you
who do would temporarily be on the bottom of all current s-CO new hires and possibly the
2,000 that will be hired in 2013-2014.
In the meantime, stay informed, TELL YOUR LECP you want a combined contract
NOW!
