NWA Has Some Good Ex-Employees - Here is one: Professor James Dixey.
NWA Has Some Good Employees - #11
Even I can not help but have empathy for people like this. Names have been removed to protect the innocent. NWA employee comments are in black, my replies are in brown and underlined for the benefit of blind people who are using a screen reader.
You are not kidding. As a ** year employee loading 40 tons a day on 30 year old aircraft with 20 year old equipment, I guess my back went out at home. My insurance is being cut. I have been slandered, lied to and harassed (I have documentation.)
They lie to EVERY-ONE! You know what our recycling program is at NWA...Quit telling every-one we don't have one...
On time performance...The biggest lie..almost of all. Its done by releasing the brake..starting ACARS..in the gate 30 MINUTES before departure..
I was cited for an AWOL after returning from Family Leave Act. Called a conspirator in writing for filing an on the job injury report. I'ave got a hundred stories that sound like they are from 1920 in a coal mine. We work 8 to 16 hours a day from -80 degrees to +105 with metal seats for lunch and breaks. Mice and rats everywhere, warm or no easily accessible water...
Company hands out 400 rain gear for 1700 employees (every other year by contract). Our break rooms don't all have outside phone lines, and they are dirty,,,yes the phones and the break rooms.
When you return from injury they make you sit with no duties hoping you go home unpaid..On very few days..can we come close to doing a good job......
Our catering trucks are NEVER no joke NEVER cleaned..We are exempt from ANY health inspections...I know this sounds unbelievable but I can actually prove all this and more
After 8 years of the best economy in U,S. history..we were all on pay cuts..Oh except for management..and we got a 4 percent raise!!! But they really care! 20+ percent inflation since our last raise and we got 4 percent..We are dying.
We did get some stock..The executives( who have about 1/3 my time) dumped on the market before we could sell..we paid $34 a share..What's it going for after they ran it into the ground..AGAIN.. Well, I could go on for hours, THANKS FOR LISTENING!!!!
I understand that NWA employees are even worse off than passengers. As a passenger I simply took my business elsewhere. Sometimes a pain, but not anywhere near as big a pain as flying NWA.
But for long time employees leaving the company is much more difficult situation. Yet in all honestly, can you bear the thought of another 15 or 20 years of working there? For what little good it does, and I realize it doesn't do much good, know that I am sympathetic. Life is often a real drag.
