It’s quite clear you don’t grasp the strength in numbers.
UA, where was there strength in numbers? Only IBT members were mechanics, no ramp, no pilots, no FAs, no CSA, so one group isn’t strength in numbers. Your own group, loners, no strength in numbers.
History is on my side not yours, here are some examples:
TWA- Ramp, Mechanics, Flight Attendants, Stores, CSA and Res, all IAM, that’s strength in numbers. When CSA and Res were newly organized company wouldn’t give them a contract, or shall I say a fair contract, all four other Class and Craft told TW management that if you won’t give them a fair contract, we won’t agree to one either, TW management got the message and CSA and Res got a fair first agreement.
NW: Ramp, Stores, CSA, RES, (mechanics before they went AMFA), Admin, clerks, Security Gaurds all IAM, that’s strength in numbers.
UA: Ramp, Stores, CSA, RES, (mechanics before they went AMFA), Flight Kitchens, all IAM, that’s strength in numbers.
US: Ramp, Mechanic and Related and Stores all IAM, that’s strength in numbers.
AA: Ramp, Stores and Mechanics all TWU, that’s strength in numbers.
Not your lone Wolf at NW and AMFA got destroyed.
Lone Wolf at WN, 7 years, and you paid for your raises by bringing no work in and agreed to sellout your USA based class and craft and agreed to eight domestic outsourced lines to go anywhere in the world.
All Association represented groups have their own separate negotiating committees, own separate negotiations, own separate mediators. Each class and craft will vote on their own JCBAs, not anyone else’s.
Oh I forgot to add, all the CBAs has the same amendable dates, and all ratified their CBAs at the same time.
This was your lesson on what strength in numbers mean.
