What is your bargaining point? I was just after the white book thankfully. But when people talk about it they say 2 things, our pay was short and we had to wear ties to work. I give a fuck about only 1 of those 2 things.
Those things usually come together. The agency 1000% doesn’t want to pay us more money. If the union loses bargaining power because of trump or anyone else for that matter. It only gets harder to get a raise
These things are all just assumed that’s how the agency does things. And it’ll always be that way. Lots of slate book hired that just don’t understand what’s at stake sometimes
He asked about the town not the tower. The hiring pool is irrelevant to the question. Not sure what kind of point you were attempting to make with that comment lol.
I very truly would give up all of these things if I got compensated fairly. I am telling you the work life balance we try to promote I think is just a distraction, I’m there 48 hours a week at minimum and the only thing that would make me hate it less is more money. I think most people just don’t care about the distractions either after every other sector getting raises. Pay me a pilots wage and I’ll do whatever you ask for 8 hours. Work is just work to me. I’ve had a terrible schedule for 15 years I don’t think you could make it worse or affect me by making me stop doing credit hours, just pay me more.
As someone who only works 40 hours a week I can say that 40 hours a week is much better
Did any of that happen last time?
No, there was a pandemic, riots in the streets and a bunch of people pretending that giving out checks, ppp loans, and tariffs has nothing to do with inflation.
It’s not last time
What makes it different then? Really? This is just a union scare tactic once again.
His speeches. He constantly says it’s going to get ugly. Elon his bff said they are going to crash the economy and cut 2 trillion dollars. It’s a mess
Last time Republicans didn't actually think Trump was going to win, and weren't prepared to do anything. They even controlled both houses for a while and were mostly useless. Now they've had both time to cook up a bunch of terrible ideas and a long list of people to appoint who will mindlessly execute those terrible ideas.
You believe you have the same chances of a raise from contract neg. No matter who wins the White House?
Even 40 hours is getting to be a bit much lol
Well, what did he do about that last time? Jack shit? Stop grading white people on a curve
In your opinion, what would you cut? and don't say taxes, because you can't say lower taxes and lower expenses, that doesn't make our problem sustainable.
He made it worse because the trump tax cuts did nothing to fix it.
