24/7 365. Maybe if you’re lucky TuesdayIf they’re so unpopular run against them. If it’s so cushy why isn’t there 100 candidates.
You’ve asked the NEB to describe the overhead for a contract negotiation and they didn’t tell you?Lots of people has. You only get BS in return.
I asked my rep. Isn’t that what your supposed to doYou’ve asked the NEB to describe the overhead for a contract negotiation and they didn’t tell you?
BS that’s back when they’d say shit like we can’t tell the membership what’s going on all the timeWhat was your reps response?
I don't feel like you have worked for many companies, if you don't think companies do in person meetings. My spouse has worked remotely since long before covid, and has 4-6 trips per year just for in person meetings.No they want them to meet on zoom like every other company
Hawaii is a state with BUEs, yes. It’s also a state that costs about 3x as much as every other state to travel to. If I were in charge I would make a point to visit at the very least HCF and post about it publicly and maybe even pictures flying home after the meeting is done.People out here acting like Hawaii’s not a state where there there aren’t any NATCA represented employees
Nope, not greedy. The struggle is real. I’ve said it before, but the withholding/limiting info by unions of all stripes, is by design, it creates dependence and power.The back and forth on this thread is odd. Controversial as the NEB meeting in Honolulu is, there is very obviously frustration over how the union is carrying out its most important purpose - collective bargaining to increase the pay and benefits of its members. With every one of the hundreds of NATCA emails I receive, I feel less like I’m in a union and more like I’m in a workgroup.
It’s frustrating to watch aviation colleagues in the US, and ATC colleagues overseas, make massive improvements to their pay/ benefits/ working conditions while our union is seemingly silent. At the very least, could we get just one email that acknowledges our frustration? Our pay has very obviously underperformed inflation and peers. NATCA should be furious about that, and it seems they’re not.
But who knows maybe I’m just greedy.
Welcome to being a government employee in the US. It has its perks but high pay won’t ever be one of them.The back and forth on this thread is odd.

Why it’s not like they were gonna come in here and defend their tripIt’s a shame that this thread has become such a dumpster fire because questioning the optics/rationale of having the NEB meeting in Honolulu is perfectly legitimate. Unfortunately then someone says something batshit like “why do we need an NEB at all?!” followed by “You should fun for RVP bro.”
Surely you understand the difference between meeting somewhere like OKC and Hawaii man. I appreciate the hard work you do but national doesn’t get the same passThey should just go to Traverse City every time. In fact it should be such an undesirable job that everyone runs unopposed, oh wait…
After they let the bill pass with the language that excluded us without saying anything. They originally said we got it and then someone actually read it and found out we were excludedI think one of the most insulting things NATCA did was try to pitch the baby leave thing and the no layoffs during COVID at NATCA specific wins.
99% of the general membership knows that’s nuts, but they were even pitching that hard to local and regional NATCA legislative leaders lol, people who know way better.
