Flexibility?

Hawker Beechcraft continues to scream about the need for “flexibility” in negotiations with the union.

However, in negotiations Wednesday, when talking about a section of an IAM proposal, Chief Negotiator Dan Dimarkouski said “Because of the company doing our payroll, we have very little flexibility in how we handle payroll.”

Think about that statement for a minute. When Beechcraft employees ran payroll, they had all the flexibility in the world… AND when we got our paychecks, they were correct. If flexibility was so important to them, why did they get rid of the payroll department and outsource it?

Bottom line – when they talk about flexibility, they are actually talking about the flexibility to outsource. Don’t be fooled!
