I say, "Complain about pay, work rules, everything. I knew what I was getting into, and I intend on changing things. If we don't try to make things better, management WILL work to make things worse."
If you don't understand that very basic tenant about negotiating a higher pay rate under the rules that we're stuck with, then you'll never get a better contract. Our job, with the way this system is structured (that system being collecting bargaining), is to try to extract as much money as we can from management. Management's job is to get us to work for as little as possible. |
What have you done during your "crusade" for higher pay, than argue on an internet message board? If you are seriously involved with a union and are actually putting in the leg work for a change of the tide, then good for you. Otherwise, you are in no position to complain. The pay is clearly posted on various aviation websites and you accepted the position.
