2015 Fleet Service thread

[Tim Nelson]

No its a Tim thing.
 
He was removed from office as a Grievance Committeeman at ORD for dual unionism, and was fired as Director of Organizing for slacking on the UA/CO campaign and demanding AGC pay.
 
He has tried to start his own union several times, only to fail each time, and he tried to raid the TWU at AA before also.

Search the boards, you will learn all about him.

Why would anyone have to search? Just ask me!
I am very very proud of trying to get rid of the IAM. And very very proud of becoming the first member in bad standing that the IAM hired. Very proud of the 3 organizing drives I directed and planned that were all successful. Very proud that I stood up and got fired. Very proud that I was strong enough to wipe out two very poor district presidents. Very proud to lead a rejection of 6 very bad IAM contracts. Very proud to fight for members rights and win court cases against the IAM for such violations.

Let's be very clear, I am not a Pollyanna for the IAM, and I'm plenty proud of that. And although I support the Association, at this time, if it comes back with a stupid agreement that unfortunately gets passed because of the money, then I think it's reasonable for the TWU to re-assess the situation.

Of course, since they whacked me, the IAM has completely embarrassed itself with the forged cards at Delta, your boy klima either knew exactly what was going on with the forgeries or he was totally inept and didn't employ 'card check'. Delta management shows the Ready Reserve peeps at Delta YOUR awful contracts at United and reminds Ready Researve that the IAM was the one who pioneered the language at US AIR back in 1999, and agreed to more brutal ready reserve at HAL. Without my knowledge, the IAM is powerless on the organizing trail. Powerless. They can't even get a vote at JetBlue. Just a bunch of stupid sh*&ts who are embarrassing this organization because they don't know how to talk to people and most importantly connect. So, your boys blew up the entire organizing department and techniques I brought in and employed.

The IAM contract's at United and Hawaiian signed over the last couple years are models used by management to exterminate the working class. Because of the IAM, Delta can now enjoy a union free workplace for a very long time due to the very bad taste that the IAM left over there by not supporting the very people at Delta who were helping it. You left all the in house organizers to get eaten alive.

How's those gift cards doing?

Been to IAH lately?

I hear there are some people who miss you.

Why don't you tell the board why you did get hired?

Think you can actually tell the truth?

The INTL approved my hiring. Not sure what you are talking about? I did tell the truth. I was a member in bad standing after I tried to get rid of the IAM with every other union that would listen. What's the big deal? The IAM sucks.

Roach personally came over and shook my hand and then invited me to Wimp center where I taught two classes when I put together my team. Even got a certificate from the IAM for "Outstanding service". But I'm not a good politician so I couldn't stand down when Roach came to ORD for an eboard meeting telling us that he was going to toss United into joint talks and wash away stand alone talks. That single anti union measure set Labor back in this industry by 50 years and I knew when I walked out of the meeting telling your boy Roach to go Eff himself that I did so with the freedom of knowing I could speak my mind and stay true to my beliefs. Others would have as well but they weren't as financially independent as me and needed their income. Maybe if I wasn't financially free, maybe I wouldn't be as bold. But one thing is for sure, I am, and I can be very very bold.

Moving forward, I'm uncomfortable having a President and S/T for the Association that we were not able to vote for and has no articles for electing officers. I'm looking into the legality of that.

You got hired because you played a major role in getting Delaney elected, and like your usual behavior you turned on him, asked for AGC money was fired, again.

That is silly. Yes, I got Canale whacked. As far as Delaney, well that is an interesting case. I was suppose to clean up the very very awful IAM organizing and he was suppose to focus on representation. Things were going very good until Delaney turned on the members, at an eboard meeting where Roach convinced the entire eboard to bail out of stand alone talks. I never turned on Delaney unless you assume my loyalty to him was above the members. I'm not loyal to any one man. Period. I'm loyal to serving justice and the membership as best I can. After relentless hammering of Delaney on Facebook, as the Director of Organizing, he FINALLY called for a meeting and reluctantly cut me loose as I wanted. Then, 3 years later, I got Delaney whacked and he got his papers. It was best for the membership. Unfortunately, Klemm is really really bad as well, and democracy has all but closed off in this union. So, I am putting a team together under very very bad democratic procedures, that my hope is to bring Labor back. Time will tell, but I'll give this a shot but if it doesn't work then I really don't see any need for the IAM. Especially after a contract is signed, maybe the TWU pulls out of this association and just represents the whole. But the United folks really ought to be looking for another union if democracy fails. It's hard to imagine a union that is as awful and as non democratic as the IAM.

But none of the above has anything to do with the state of the IAM right now. The organizing is at an all time low as your boys just don't have the IQ, people skills, expert strategies to succeed. Turning to forgeries and thug-ery killed any remaining chances at Delta. And the JetBlue campaign run by DL141 is a disaster. All JetBlue management has to do is present a awful HAL or United agreement.

As far as representation, let's see what the joint contract bestows upon us. We can talk about that then, but the new HAL agreement is horrible so it looks like our hope may be with the TWU.

Horrible?

They voted it in, and they already contained RR language in their previous CBA.
 
And UA and the IAM already agreed to stop outsourcing, give those stations raises, and reopened their CBA early to improve the operation.

How about your current US CBA?
 
Keep up the red herrings, everyone knows all about you, and your failed quest for power and money over the past 20 years.

 

[Worldport]

Robbed it's Tim Nelson, remember. He serves up more Red Herrings then a Chinese fish market.

Will Wiki-leaks surface during these negotiations?

Well, of course the Hawaiian contract was already laced with Ready Reserve, that didn't mean that your boys had to shake hands with management once again on it? Go tell that to Delta. Never mind how the IAM agreed to give the 60% part time rampers at Hawaiaan a part time scale that caps off at only $15.10. Tuffa lucka for them I guess.

Oops, I forgot, your idiots couldn't get delta cards signed so they were stupid enough to forge thousands of cards and think that they would get away with it. The IAM is the laughingstock once again because professionals like me who have very very good skillsets can't work with them. So they have to hire consultants like they did with you a few years back. Nothing against you, I personally like you and think you really are a standup guy, and you also took some heat for your beliefs back in 1725.

But the United fiasco remains the biggest anti union contract. The new CEO did have a heart and agreed to extend the Cinderella clause of the IAM contract a couple years but there is no scope still. Only 6 stations have scope, period. The raises were actually a yearly bargaining window for the 2 dozen stations that have no work rules and no nothing. If that's good enough for you, then oh well.

I gave Sito points for the LUS contract. I believe, due to politics and an election, we kept these officers accountable. I also believe that we have the opportunity to keep the IAM accountable with new elections this June, and I think that will necessarily produce better chances for the Association. Time will tell.

With Tim it's more like Wiki, leaks down the drain.

And this applies to the topic how?
 

Oh look another mechanic who says only mechanics should post in their thread, posting in a fleet thread again.

Moderator that should be two hijacked threads for 700 in as many days.

It's Mr. Nelson actually who hijacked the thread by posting rumors, hearsay, innuendo and his fluffed up resume yet again.

700 is only keeping the picture on this clear IMO.

And since I'm actually AA Fleet I welcome his input.

He is not maintanence, the LM2 forms say he was employed by the IAM as a consultant.

I thought this was a fleet service thread? Whether you disagree with rumor, we had to sit here for weeks and read your sour grapes post about your election and only getting 11 votes. Yes, your election was fleet service related, but so are mine.

Here we go again.
 
I was utility and stores.
 
I worked for the IAM in the summer of 2013 on the IBT raid, I havent been employed nor received any money from the IAM since September of 2013.
 
And timmy if you are going to post, post the whole story, I was an organizer, thats what the LM2 for the year of 2013 stated.
 
There you go again with your half-truths.
