The Dallas Morning News Aviation Blog has a story about a memo from American Airlines’ TWU leadership warning its membership to not engage in any stealth work slowdowns.   Specifically, TWU representative Robert Gless says:

“Remember: anyone who participates in a job action would more likely be playing the role of someone who weakens TWU rather than supports it. DO NOT participate in any job action; instead participate in supporting your union. We strongly urge you to continue to work in your usual way and not to engage in any refusal to work overtime or D1 or any slowdown.”

The subtext of this is likely something along the lines of “We’re getting somewhere so don’t go and screw it up with shennanigans.”  I’m also sure the TWU is fully aware of the kind of court action that could be brought against it for such actions and the penalties that could result.
