American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

[Tim Nelson]

Gee Timmy
I seemed to have hit a nerve, and all I said is I really wished you had came to Clt for the picket. And your still welcome to come anytime you want. Plenty of friends? I guess you and I have a different opinion of plenty.

And I haven’t actually boxed in awhile. But hey, if that’s what floats your boat? Then again your welcome anytime. I have had the crap beat out of me a few times in my life, but never knocked out. So that would be interesting to see if that could actually happen.
Now as far as the contract. I think the members have spoke over and over again who they trust. And your still living in the world if you say something enough it comes true. I was taught a long time ago, that doesn’t happen. I have a idea. Why don’t you put out that proposal of yours and prove me wrong. Show everyone where they are guaranteeing us that work. I’ll make a deal with ya. If you can show an agreement that the work is guaranteed, I’ll give you the first two punches for free when we have our match. Maybe that’s all it will take.

you are against the masses. you have done nothing except suck off management. Clt is a complete disaster because of you.
The masses WILL overcome your Sito bellringing. The Masses know better than someone who just nabbed a $31,000 pay raise and refuses to let us vote.
We dont give a crap about your job and future union headcount. You screwed dozens of stations at United and thousands of employees so you can make a $ more. You arent your own man, hell you dont even stand behind your own name on here. lmao.

i think we ought to give him a shot, if he starts right now we could have a contract by 1915 cdl. that gives him an hour twice the time he needs to get it done!

Mr baskett has failed to answer any questions about how he is going to improve upon the company offer. His only statement is that if we walk in circles on sidestreets with signs that the passengers will sympathize with us against making $33.
Say What?

You call me by name all the time. Everyone knows me as CB now. I kinda hate to change it!! Hope that’s ok with you. And the members will decide and have decided if I have ever screwed them. Which they know I haven’t. You hear that? The MEMBERS! Which you are not.
Hey I made you a great offer last post. How can you turn that down? Post your agreement and prove me wrong. Or STFU.
All you do is talk crap. It amazes me that you think your still relevant.

LUS Passenger Service Agents CWA/IBT bargaining team took big concessions allowing the bar to get lower to UA and DL and LAA industry standard

They voted to outsource their baggage claim bec they wanted other things. Scope should truly be the single biggest factor to look at as its dam easy for the clowns to dangle the green stixs in exchange for giving up job security

I'll buy a ticket, let CLT RAT referee...

I want front row seat

Answer this question? Why should Mr Baskett answer any of your qustioms, when you never address or answer anyone’s questions? I’ll make another deal with you, since you obviously didn’t like my last one since I haven’t seen your proposal that you have. Stop answering peoples questions with another question. And if you’ll guarantee and give your word you will answer any and all questions put to you, then I will be more than glad to answer your questions. By the way! I do answer MEMBERS questions.

I must agree with this post. He does in fact answer the members questions within these forums.

Master of the iam universe, may we see the contract now?
Please?

If we cant see it, would you please stop posting your nonsense on jetnet?

 

[WeAAsles]

And I thought the TWU was F'ed up! You little bitches in the IAM take the cake!

Thanks TWU.......YOU SUCK!

Get me my F'ing package cause I want out of this chit!

I guess you’re trying to say you’ve HAD ENOUGH now?

 

[dfw gen]

Wow

Instead of making new names why dont you go with:
700
701
702
703
704

You get the idea....

 

[Rogallo]

I guess you’re trying to say you’ve HAD ENOUGH now?

That should be "The Association" theme song.

 

[Bin Stretcher]

Bin Stretcher need to correct you on one point. On the TWU side we’re not all ready to jump on it. At least not all of us Senior guys who do have some time left and remembering past history.

I also think we’re doing a very good job at explaining to all the lower Seniority guys why it’s going to be a terrible deal for them with all the trap doors the Company wants to attach to Scope.

Agreed. ALL was a broad stroke. But please understand this is the only site I go to aside from Jetnet for opinions, etc.
It appears to me from reading the two sites that most of the "Let's vote now" crowd comes from LAA and those that THINK they will hit the lottery with the buyout offer . I realize there are sensible and logical thinkers, such as yourself, on the LAA side. I just question the number and how a vote WOULD go.

 

[Tim Nelson]

I must agree with this post. He does in fact answer the members questions within these forums.

anyone can answer questions. Marks problem is that he refuses to enforce the current contract in any capacity. Him and another agc pushed, approved, and recommended the ua contract. While i was campaigning against it, he voted to recommend it. All of his actions are coming back to haunt us.
Then the dude gave himself a $31,000 pay raise after he hosed our negotiations here by going for wages only. All without our consent.
I mean, he single handedly has destroyed our craft and he has absolutely no idea that he did.
Thats why I always say that we need educated negotiators.
700 was so dumb he actually contracted out his whole craft and his own job.

cool. boxing will be fun for both of us. Not into the "2 free punches". Just a clean match.
Why dont you show me where the company proposed giving up the bagroom?
