Unfortunately there is nothing in the UPA that gives the union final say on staffing.
Instead, it will be a repeat of "this is a really bad idea that you should reconsider" followed 18 months later with "we told you so" when the plan goes FUBAR. If in doubt, just go back and read any SSC report from the last 5 years. Our SSC has a great track record of knowing what needs to be done and the company has a history of ignoring the advice and the. asking for help later.

Happy the Union is doing the job we pay them to do. Maybe the Houston Leadership pushed them a bit, maybe they did it because they are pros. Personally, i expect to be displaced and will roll with it. But i expect the Union to be a check on the Company's Manpower Planning who seem to have the focus and vision of a teenage girl ordering an appetizer at TGIF after a few Red Bulls.
"Can I change my mind if I already ordered and tried it?"

So, you pay your cover charge (dues) to get into the bar and expect your 'score' for the night to be delivered to you....
You don't pay the union to do your job....
The SCC guys are volunteers and even if they are getting trip loss... why them and not you? Like you they can 'fly trip and go home' but they volunteer to make it better.... for you. (as a side note, consider you won't get displaced... you're just a sucka for managements fear campaign.... )
Funny, your the dude at TGIF calling out the girl..... Time to man up? Or are you going to insist on the union being exactly what management wants you to think?
