The votes have been counted!



The votes have been counted, and the totals are: 498 "yes" votes to 121 "no" votes. Too many of us did not vote, and the measure missed passing by 72 votes.

We will be filing an "objection to the election" as soon as possible.  The illegal and harassing methods used by SEIU to intimidate and spread falsehoods was completely against all rules.

And so it starts!



On Monday the counting of the ballots will begin at 1 p.m, and we hope that you let your voice be heard. Thanks to all those who have helped to make all of this possible.  We will post the results of the voting as soon as they are made available to us.

The rumor mill has been abuzz this past week with talk of a major announcement from the TSA which was expected to be released on Friday, July 26th, but was put off until this week. Let's cross our fingers that this announcement is just what the doctor ordered and is not a continuation of "business-as-usual" with the "profit-before-product" Covenant Aviation at the helm.

Good luck to us all, and thanks again for supplying the information needed in order to keep this blog-site your source of timely news.

Is this not a form of slave labor?



How can it be legal for Covenant Aviation to severely restrict the ability of the members of the workforce to take a day off?  Just how does this company -- who, in some circles, is known to be a company that puts profit-before-product -- get away with this?  

The workforce can bid to take a full week off for a vacation, but just try to bid for one day off!  This inept company keeps staffing levels so low that they cannot afford to have employees take just one day off.  Why is this such an issue?  Do they not have sufficient managerial skill to balance the staffing levels, and adjust for employees' requests for time off?  We have already seen the level of incompetence demonstrated by this stellar management team! 

If an employee is regularly scheduled two sequential days off, it is common to request time off for the subsequent two days when planning a vacation or time with family -- this allows the employee to have four days off, while only using two vacation days.  But Covenant Aviation makes this process nearly impossible and continues to stick it to their employees non-stop.

We have been told by members of the workforce that requests to have a single day off, made to their respective managers, have gone unanswered. These unanswered requests are a standard practice of upper management. Just when will this unfair treatment end?  We hope real soon, with a not-so-fond farewell to this "profit-before-product" company known as Covenant Aviation LLC.

Do you really want SEIU to represent you?


Is it not obvious to you that the money you would be paying to SEIU, in the form of dues, would not be money well spent?

SEIU is a union of concessions and give-backs. SEIU is a union with a long and sad history of corruption. SEIU leadership across the country has shown itself to be far less than trustworthy.

Do you want more proof?

Follow this link and read and learn for yourselves what we here already know:
 
 


Isn't it time to open your eyes and to make the right choice?

Vote "yes" to rescind the ability of this corrupt union to force you to pay dues in order to keep your job!

Among the many lies that the union has told ...



one of the biggest is that they will leave if they don't get paid, that they don't work for nothing. That when they leave, we will lose our jobs or that our salaries will be reduced. That we need them now more than ever!  Yeah, right!

Just why is this union so focused on getting more money for doing nothing?

Could it be because union officials have been found guilty of misappropriating funds, which must now be repaid?  

Let us tell you about an SEIU official by the name of Tyrone Freeman:  Mr. Freeman is facing a maximum sentence of 180 years for his crime!

But don't take our word for it, read the story for yourselves:
