Since the NMB ruled that the MC's and Mechanics are in the same Class and Craft @ JB the drive continues to collect cards for AMFA representation.
Now that Spirit is in an election vote by their membership for AMFA representation, as shown by the NMB site and provided below, hopefully you guys can get things together soon for your own vote for a Mechanics Class and Craft union to represent Mechanics & Related needs prior to any kind of merger, as you guys do not want to go into seniority integration nego's without being represented. Also going with AMFA, as Spirit will soon, would entail a much, much smoother integration of seniority list. AMFA will be able to better represent your group as that is all they represent like most Pilots and F/A's unions that focus on their class and Craft not 7-14 other larger groups who always gets the focus with the industrial unions out there.
Also note how the recently new represented SC Mechanics are getting ready for their first contract. As noted on the AMFA National web site note how AMFA sends out notices and surveys to collect everything that the "MEMBERS" want to address in their new contract. And also be aware that AMFA does these surveys every single time contracts come up for renego's to be sure to get in what the MEMBERSHIP wants not what some top leaders of the international or airline divisions want. This way all the focus is on the Mechanics & Related and what they want covered in their contracts with no outside influence whatsoever.
Good luck to you guys in the possible upcoming merger with Spirit, I say possible, but it is now leaning much more favorable in JB's way for the shareholders to vote for JB/Spirit hookup. When Spirit collected right at 80% cards that speaks volumes on who they will have represent them for this upcoming merger.
Look forward to hearing when you guys have enough cards collected...
