MARK YOUR CALENDAR!!!!! VOTE ON SKY NET TO SAVE OUR BOARDING PRIORITY!!! OCTOBER 20TH...
In case you haven't seen or heard about this yet. Pass on to our membership.
I'm not sure why we haven't heard about this but it seems that if this is the way
they plan to handle the retiree issue, we may be screwed.
Subject: Important Merger Survey on SkyNet October 20th
Please disseminate the following information to your RUAEA chapter membership ASAP:
United/Continental management will conduct an electronic survey of current employees and retirees on October 20th. The survey will ask participants to rank the importance of various benefit issues. As far as we know, the only way for UAL employees or retirees to participate in the survey will be on SkyNet, and YOU MUST GO ONTO SKYNET TO PARTICIPATE. It will not come to you as an e-mail. We realize that this excludes a significant number of retirees who do not have/use computers.
At this time, there is no explanation as to why this is occurring on such short notice and by electronic means only. There may be other issues included in the survey. Contents have not been made available to your RUAEA representatives.
Please vote FOR United's boarding priority system, which retains your current boarding priority (retirees boarded before active employees).
RUAEA urges that we get everyone possible to take part in this survey. It will be a one-time opportunity. There are not many details available, but YOUR VOTE WILL BE CRITICAL.
