"Our customers appreciate you - with over 70% of surveys scoring five-star service, which is double our normal rate" .. That's not at all surprising see how awful Union members treat people. good job EWA's!!!

Why didn't we get this week to review the contract and vote? If the EWA are still around why is the Union pushing us back? We don't hear the details until tonight and go back tomorrow, isn't that just a forced ratification? Everyone knows we won't go... — read more

Everything still says tentative agreement, and I don't trust that things won't change! Why not stay out until we have a CONTRACT!
