"According to a letter obtained by USA TODAY, Prospect is threatening to terminate workers who go on strike.
“It is Prospect’s position, that a strike under these circumstances is illegal under what we believe to be the applicable federal law,” the Nov. 24, letter reads. “We expect all employees to work their assigned shifts, and employees that engage in an illegal work stoppage will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.”
The company did not directly respond to questions about the Nov. 24 letter, but in its statement wrote it prioritizes transparent communication with its workers so they receive "fair compensation and robust career advancement opportunities.
“As we navigate this matter, we remain steadfast in our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of service for our customers while supporting our team members,” the statement ends."
I can’t fucking stand this language they use–not that it’s anything new, of course. It’s just so blatantly inhuman. These are people struggling to survive and their employer talks themselves up as though they’re doing these people a favor (after threatening them for standing up for themselves)… Truly 1st class behavior, American Airlines 🥴
