The letter posted above was powerfully informative, and spot on as far as the issues that she is opposed to. What I would like to have read more of is how she would contractually improve the standard of living for our reserves as well as our blockholders. What is she and her supporters providing as an alternative to Flores/Austin? I'm open and all ears to anyone that can improve the standard of living for all of us on the property.
Yes...there are much better, more knowledgable, intelligent, passionate negotiators that know and are up to speed on every single item in the current agreement as well as what is being negotiated (given away) by your current negotiators and sitting MEC:
1. Lynne Caramello
2. Rob Wessinger
3. Michael Elas
4. Celine Deluca
5. Sara Fischer
6. Mark Gentile
7. Terry Graf
8. John Humphries
9. Buddy Brannon
These are the folks I have worked with, very passionate about the contract and prtecting language as well as negotiating and understanding the history/past work conditions over 3 decades.
Recent example of the ineptness of your Current MEC President and voting members of the MEC:
The just settled a grievance (sideletter 44) of your current contract which now changes those f/as who have more than 10 years to having no more pass privileges. A simple no cost item taken away because the company wanted it, was violating it, having disabled f/as pay for their tickets, and the MEC went along with it. Joh McCorkey (lazy president of PHL) wrote out to some f/as saying that the language was ambiguous because it states (according to "compay policy). What this LEC president doesn't know is THIS IS WHY THE LANGUAGE IS PART OF THE CONTRACT, TO ESURE THAT IT CAN'T CHANGE UNLESS THE CONTRACT IS OPEN AND IT IS RENEGOTIATED.
I am sure many of you can site many things wrong with your current reps (who need taken out of office one at a time). Ask your
1. Ask your AFA MEC Grievance Chair what her monthlly AFA pay is and why she is taking 105 International pay when she too, was Never grandfathered in or "red circled" iin 2005 to have 105 pay??? Same as John McCorkle who was never red circled and should not have that option of taking 105 hours of flight loss pay.
Your MEC Grievance chair has not gone through recurrent training as outlined in the MEC Policy and Procedure, but still takes 105 International pay. The Chairs are required to go to recurrent.
But I will surely bet, they protect one another, and they will find some excuse to circumvent the member who asks and investigates these issues. Hopefully, when someone runs against these folks, these AFA pay and expenses will be handed over to the members when they ask for it..as required by the constitution giving full disclosure. If they don't..throw them OUT!
Here I am with another rant.... guys all need to ban together and start ousting these folks as they come up for reelection. The company has the ability to walk all over these reps and no one has any protection of language if these folks let these issues go by. A monkey without any know how could do better and accomplish more than they.
