Abaqhubi be-Allegiant Air, abamelwe yi-Teamsters Local 2118, bacele ngokusemthethweni ukuba iBhodi yeSizwe eLamlayo (i-NMB) ibakhulule kwinkqubo yangoku yolamlo nenkampani yeenqwelomoya.
Ukuba esi sicelo samkelwe, i-NMB inokucebisa ulamlo olubophelelayo ukujongana nemiba engekenziwa phakathi kwe-Allegiant kunye nabaqhubi bayo be-Teamsters. Ukuba elinye icala liphumile kulamlo, kuya kuqalisa ixesha leentsuku ezingama-30 “lokuphola”, emva koko abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya baya kuvunyelwa ngokusemthethweni ukuba baqhankqalaze. NgoNovemba wonyaka ophelileyo, abaqhubi beenqwelomoya be-Allegiant bavote kakhulu-ngama-97 ekhulwini-ukugunyazisa ugwayimbo, okubonisa ukungoneliseki okubonakalayo ngolibaziseko oluqhubekayo lwenkampani kunye nokungafuni kwayo ukujongana nemiba ebalulekileyo.
"Ukusukela oko saqala uthethathethwano, injongo yethu ibe lula: sikhusele isivumelwano esiqinisekisa impumelelo yexesha elide kunye nokhuseleko kubaqhubi bethu kunye ne-Allegiant Air," utshilo uCaptain Josh Allen, uSihlalo weKomiti yeeNgxoxo zeNgingqi ye-2118. Kwaye onke amanyathelo endlela, u-Allegiant wala ukusinika loo nto.
Ngaphandle kweminyaka emibini yeengxoxo zolamlo, amaqela awakafikeleli kwisivumelwano kwimiba ebalulekileyo yokucwangcisa ngokwenkqubo-sikhokelo yeengxoxo ezidityanelweyo. Ezona zindululo zakutsha nje ze-Allegiant zingahlela malunga neepesenti ezingama-20 zabaqhubi beenqwelo-moya njengentsalela kwaye zinyanzelise abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya abaseleyo ukuba babambelele kubuninzi beeshedyuli zenqwelo-moya, ziphakamisa iinkxalabo ezinzulu malunga nokudinwa komqhubi, ukuthembeka ekusebenzeni, kunye nomgangatho wobomi bubonke.
"Akunakwenzeka ukwenza inkqubela phambili xa inkampani iqhubeka nokuhambisa iipali kwaye ifuna 'impumelelo' ngakumbi kwiqela lomqhubi esele loluliwe," utshilo uGreg Unterseher, iTrasti yeLocal 2118. "Ngalo lonke ixesha abaqhubi beenqwelomoya bethu bephakama ukuze bahlangabezane neemfuno zenkampani kunye neziphakamiso zokholo oluhle, i-Allegiant itshintsha isikhokelo kwakhona. Isivumelwano sanele sokuba i-pilote ye-pilots yanele - ekugqibeleni i-allegiant ihambisa i-allegiant. ezuziweyo.”
