Karen Schultz Quotations

Of all the people I've talked with, I've only heard one person say he is going to vote for it.

On many issues, we have found common ground. But we have a gulf between us on job security, particularly if the airline is sold or merged.

We're prepared except for not having the actual strike vote happen. Based on the feedback we're getting from members, they're ready.

Labor is not the problem. They have core cost problems.

We (Northwest flight attendants) have been going across the Pacific for 70 years and offering excellent service. Our (plane) loads are full. We continue to have the highest loads because of excellent flight attendant service,which includes cultural sensitivity and language skills.

We have gotten to the point where we need to get a deal out to our members so the members can speak directly to the company.

At the meetings, we can talk about how to perpetually organize and the value of continually setting resources aside to do this. And we absolutely must leave with a plan for specific actions.

Employees have been asked, and frankly steamrolled, to make huge sacrifices in this bankruptcy process.

There's relief that there's finally a tentative agreement, but there's outrage at some of the changes in it.

They want more. They're a corporate bully. They want our lunch money, our futures, our job protections.

I think our legal team really picked it apart pretty effectively. There was some fuzzy math going on in there.

Honestly, it's hard to say what they're looking for.
