Is EWA Training coming again?

No agreement on Union Contract, New CEO with the mission to cut cost, go lean, blah blah..

Do we need to prepare for EWA?

No ewa, we will just let AI handle it all. It will be great.

Last time in 2016, they did EWA training in the spring. I would imagine it's the same case this time around. After RIF, there will be few employees left, so I think pretty much everyone will get sent out on strike duty.

I HATED strike duty last time. If I get RIF, then not having to do EWA will be a silver lining.

Lake Mary knows how to play the game to get out of strike duty and fly back multiple times. Claiming family illness, claiming need to go back to the doctor for personal prescriptions for what’s used as recreational dr-gs, etc. Got away with it before and it will easily happen again.

If I survive the RIF and there is a strike, I will HAPPILY cross the picket line and work. The money is too damn good not to and quite honestly, I don't give a damn about whatever the union flks are demanding. Will they strike to prevent me from getting RIFd?? No chance, so Eff them

@a2 we get contingency workers from many places other than Lake Mary.

I think they'd be foolish to strike. They were not prepared to weather out the last one. Most contingency workers never crossed a picket line last time and few if any will in any future strikes. They created a two class structure where low seniority members are clearly lower class. I don't think the young guys would support a strike for the old guys that left them hanging. I wouldn't put it past them to be foolish, though.

They pulled a decent amount of folks from Lake Mary last time they had EWA. I doubt it would be possible for them to even attempt to with how thin those offices are now. Unless it's band 6 and above. Too many of those in Lake Mary.
