When I started at Gulfstream. One of the old timers told me that Gulfstream tries to make things better for everyone to stave off the chance of a Union being formed. Seems to me that a company that is purposefully depressing their wages, offering lower pay to those going from contract to direct, and prioritizing production speed over quality. They are priming the environment for Unionization to take hold. Profits keep increasing year over year, yet they nickle and dime the people building the planes, while they sit in their board rooms and fly around the world on aircraft we build.
Those that are against unions are the ones that have bought into the years of corporate propaganda that has lead to a work culture that is afraid to speak up, and afraid to make waves. We've gone from being one of the best employers in the Savannah to being one that people are being told to avoid.

UNIONIZE
Well now their entire administrative and engineering workforce is pi---d of as well after getting an arbitrary company wide return to office order in October. I assure you all strata of employees are underpaid, unheard, and unhappy. If there was any time for union energy it's now, I'm sure engineering and admins would have plenty of solidarity with production workforces.
i totally agree with you. They are hiring people with no experience on aircraft because they need people, also at the highest level so those of us that have been here for years are making the same money.
