So you think the Union workers should get paid more than non-Union workers who do the same work?

Patriot's CEO has shown he wants to save Patriot and reorganize. He wants to save jobs .

The Debtor have shown the want to reorganize.

Creditors have show they want to reorganize.

Non-Union workers have shown the want to reorganize.

The Judge has shown the she wants Patriot to reorganize (well, that is her job) by recently approving the compensation plan for retention of key and vital personal for a successful emergence from bankruptcy. All other employees are expendable which gives less leverage to the Union if they decide to strike. The Judge is aware of Hostess' bankruptcy and does not want the same thing to happen with Patriot going into liquidation.

The Union? The Union wants CONTROL of the NEW Patriot. 57% would be the majority shareholder of Patriot. If ever a vote comes up, they don't need your vote, they have the majority. Imagine giving control to the Union...

The Union feels entitled above everyone else. What is so special about a Union worker and a non-Union worker who does the same job? All Patriot is asking is fairness across the board.

You should stop looking at American Airlines and Google Hostess. That is the closest in comparison to Patriot right now.

IMO
