h34r:Not one word about the members.
I for one would rather that there be some closure, either one union or the other, cant have two masters. Workers in one location belonging to different unions? Thats nuts, workers in different stations in the same contract but in different unions isnt much better. If I transfer I have to pay an initiation fee and join a different union? Sure maybe its good for the "Unions" to share the dues revenue but its not good for the members. He wants them to devote more money to organizing, so what exactly are they going to say to mechanics?
"Hey come join our union so you can pay us $700 a year, give up at least a week of vacation, your Holidays, your sick time and some of your hourly rate, yes you will be at the bottom of the industry but you can say you are proud to be there because you are Union".
Both of these unions need to forget about organizing till they get their members better pay benefits and rules than the people who are non-union first!!!
If they wont fight to get us what makes anyone think they will for us?

And thats BS too. Two unions that were afraid to put it to a vote. If they dont want a nasty fight then one should bow out. Like I said if they wont fight to get us what makes anyone think they will fight the company for us?

Someone needs to inform the dumbass Trumka and the rest of his failed leadership team that the failure of the AFL-CIO is what is causing most of this labor strife issue.
The AFL-CIO claims to be the "political protector" of the working man.
NOT in this industry.
Otherwise the AFL-CIO would have succcessfully changed the Bankruptcy Laws, would have had this industry re-regulated, would have obtained restrictions on overseas aircraft maintenance, and would have limits on CEO pay. Has he gotten any of this done? Hell NO!
Hell the AFL-CIO cannot event stop Right-to-Work Laws and negative changes in the Workmans Comp Laws.
So how about this Trumka? Either get started succeeding at your own duties or dismantle your appointed position and the farse you are leading. Then maybe organized will return instead of you whimpering and blaming everyone or something else like most stooge liberals do.
Or keep on writing stupid whining ass letters, while you are failing, and watch organized labor completly dissappear. F'ing Idiot!

Better yet, who 'bout letting the masses lead? There's no shortage of rank and file members that are ready to be (re)energized. The leaders who are too busy empire building need to either get on board, or get outta the way.
