The CWA literally agreed to a clause in IHX that maintains that all performance management remains the same as it does for management employees. Aka the “behavior based / quality observation” requirements are completely optional and management has the exact same ability to term you for the result as they did before.
They lost pto, lost parental leave BIG TIME, lost flexible scheduling, and now work in the classic gag order driven all management bad propaganda machine that retail did, but with zero protection lol. It is insane how little the CWA does - I’m 100% convinced the company told them we will force you into IHX if you agree to these terms which acted as a cost cutting measure for the company and the CWA accepted knowing they wouldn’t get in legitimately.
Yeah, I thought I could stand around and do little work with the union protecting me. What happened?
The only words in the union contract that mean anything are "Needs of the business". That nullifies the whole contract.
Fat cats eat steak and fa-t their way to the bank, and you keep paying dues all the way to the unemployment office.
Speaking of the unemployment office (which will soon be busy, almost overwhelmed) Why do you care? Top craft only makes +90K, we don't want your job, it is yours to keep or lose. We are not a threat to you. Stankey is though. Bi--h and complain about what you don't have all day, it won't change anything. Stankey wants you gone, not me nor do my fellow "Union Dregs".
Who cut your vacation days? Who said you won't have any health care in retirement if you don't leave by December 31? Guess what, not the Union. Before you say "well the Union is the reason we have so much debt". You might want to see how the T-Mobile, DirecTV and Warner Media deals worked out.
They don't protect members from layoffs but they did negotiate how layoffs are performed across the board without guesswork like management is currently going through.
We're also guaranteed a severance package.
I'll take that 12 months pay if T wants me gone. Since I only have 24 years, I might have to take a package. (I'll be smiling) If I am surplussed and have to take an involuntary surplus, my grin from getting 18 months pay will be visible from ISS. That's International Space Station for you Stankey bobbleheads.

The negotiated contracts contains provisions that result in economic disincentives to lay off, like things like job guarantees and so forth. They haven't prevented layoffs, but they have made those layoffs more expensive.
How's the occupational RTO and hub city thing going for occupational? That's right, it isn't happening.
Yeah, that's CWA for you. Always been like this.
