I'm for a good fight, but everyone had the opportunity to get the Me Too with a yes vote, why bash the other groups?

Because the vast majority of folks did not even know there was a  me too clause and in my opinion it should be only those who risk should be rewarded becuse they will the only ones abrogated if we lose. if you accepted the companys offer than you are stuck with it. I am not bashing the other groups but this is not t- ball we do not give trophys to everyone who played.

Let the mechanics take the risk and will collect the spoils typical twu tell everybody to vote yes then claim it was all part of the plan to have a me too clause and the M&R and Stores will fight the fight and little jim can take the credit.

Chris, they're hardly exempt. They lost the total value of their stock options when the stock fell below the strike price, and it evaporated once the company filed. Gone. No recourse. For some, that's 30-50% of their compensation from the past couple years. That's the risk management takes with variable comp. No risk, no reward.

The difference being that when we exit BK they will start awarding stock to most of the fine individuals to make up for what they lost but not for those of us that actually work for a living. And when you and your REP friends get thru giving 90% of the wealth to 10% of the people we will all be out of a job and no I am not a Dem I am a Ind would not piss on either of them if they where on fire.

Classic. You blame the people but know nothing of the system. Why don't you start now to assemble a group of candidates and start campaigning. Put out a platform and reach out to the thousands of members beyond AA that also vote. Jim Little is not elected by us alone. He is elected by the entire TWU delegation. You guys act like AA is the only relevant group in the union.

Yea the current president of local 100 was withheld from office so that he would not run a slate against jimmy little at the last convention I believe the three postion at the intl that are open now is a result of that oversight as the Intl calls it. As far as not knowing anything about the system unlike most I have read the convention minutes dating back to the late 80:s and know you cannot unseat the twu on their field with their ball it has been tried why don't you ask Mr drumond about the fate of the the Eastern flight Attendents back in the day.

You can sale that bull#### to some folks but not me I prefer to spend my time trying to rid the industry of this cancer!

People here get upset when I say the union bosses work for themselves not the interest of the membership. Everyone has no problem going after management and other professionals making large salaries but union officials get a pass.

Josh

You are right and I give them no passes
