Pilot for Southwest here. After a 99% vote for a strike authorization, the company appears to not think we're serious. It has been two months since the vote and even this last week, negotiations went backward. They pulled their offer for improved parental leave, which we affectively do not have. We want industry standard disability. As it stands, when you run out of sick pay on STD, you are effectively excommunicated. You lose all benefits including health care; you go on COBRA. Keep in mind, if you so much as break your foot, you cannot work as a pilot until you can function fully without a cast or brace. So needing STD is not only very likely, but financially crippling if you do. That's why the union has requested to end meditation. Under the railway labor act, we cannot just strike. It has to go through channels, and the government can intervene. And I'm really hoping that Biden and congress will support us (because they can prevent us from striking). Until then, we continue to work with the same income as 2020.

Unions have been taking a beating for some time. The Time has come. There is a critical mass of resentment in the Labour movement.

I was fortunate to work 35 years at a company that considers their employees as members and shares profits with them. The responsibility of the members is to find waste in the processes and work to eliminate it. In essence they can increase profits through the elimination of waste and by doing so, all of the members receive a semi-quarterly profit sharing payment with an equal amount going into their 401K retirement plan. This is in addition to a % of their salary every pay period going into the 401K. Since the % is applied company wide against a member’s salary, it behooves all members from the CEO to the lowest line member working together instead of against each other to drive the company’s success. This was the system set-up by the company founders nearly 75 years ago and practiced still.

How about we as labor shut down the economy until we get our fair share? Be damned what the precious shareholders want, people over profits.

People work more than they enjoy themselves and still can’t afford to live comfortably there’s no question because the answer is there for all to see

The grass is always greener somewhere else, you could probably find a better city, a better state, a better country elsewhere… but a lot of people have years invested into the job they’re at, just like the city, state, or country they live in. Every single person has their own motivations in life and nothing is as simple as throwing the towel in and quitting. The difficult part is starting all over again. As for those who stay and fight for future generations, they’re the strong ones. Some people love their jobs but hate the hours, or the working conditions or some aspect that needs to be improved upon. You can live in Chicago for example and love it, but you hate the crime. Sure, you can go elsewhere, to another city, possibly leave your family and friends, the job you have, the house you live in, or you can do something about it, remain and help to better the city that you love. These labor movements are a demand for justice in corporate America and the demand for fair pay, decent, livable wages and better working conditions. Just like the Jefferson’s, everyone wants to move up, and there ain’t nothing wrong with that…
