A couple cliches that are very, very true:


A company gets the union has to work very hard to get a union on the property.


The members of the union get the union they deserve. You want different? Make it different.


The biggest G/D problem I had after actively pursuing the organizing at two different companies was that once the contract was in place, MOST (ALL?) the pilots relaxed and let management continue with their old, accustomed practices. The membership had been bought off CHEAP. That is, until their individual toes were stepped on, then they called the steward (me) to intervene.


Did they ever speak out, protest management violating the contract with another member? No, that was my job to bring the union on board. I did what I had to do in every instance, but- those lazy mfers made me the guy who terminated/retained an employee instead of their defending, supporting a fellow member. Even in cases at their bases- crickets.


The executive body knew this was happening and followed the herd and why not? They weren't being paid enough to put time and the clock for members and when the company retaliated for working for members, nobody said boo.
