Pros

ok pay and benefits if you kiss their but you may be able to stay long enough to use them. They will fire you if you file a grievance or upset the maintenance manager. Tim Sulivan.He has been the demise of at least 30 mechanics leaving in less than 3 years.

Cons

The union is in the company's back pocket.They can't save your job even if there's no way to lose your case. The company can and has fired people and don't pay them for the week they worked. The union can't even get you your money.
