 REMEMBER  ESOP 

Stephen Wolf laid the ground work for the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, ESOP.  On July 12, 1994, ESOP was approved by the UAL Corp. stockholders.  Pilots, Mechanics, Ramp, and Stores employees had a union to negotiate their participation.  Flight Attendants through their Union, opted not to participate.  Customer Service and Reservations, (now known as PCE) were “told” we would participate. 

The IAM represented groups received almost twice as much in shares.  They received both preferred and regular stock.  Why, because the Unions negotiated it for their groups. Our group received only regular stock.  The IAM groups were able to receive credit for future raises and giving up their half hour paid lunch.   Our group was non-union and didn’t have a contract, we never received credit for future raises and our paid lunches had already been taken years before.

Remember, all groups were promised snap backs?   Union represented groups did snap back, because that was what was negotiated for them. We did not.  We were told by the Company, they didn’t have to…. we didn’t have a contract. These groups all had unions to protect them.  We had the Round Table and nothing was legal or binding.

Don’t let this happen again, we cannot be the only group without Union representation!
