American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

[ALUS78]

Labor gaining a Contract wouldn’t pass an SEC litmus test for insider trading.

Wanna bet we dont get a contract soon anyway??

 

[WeAAsles]

Okay just something to ponder i dont know the law didnt think you did

Rising Labor costs in the past as I’ve watched haven’t affected the Stocks of any Airline at all.

That I have watched.

Why take a bet that I agree on. Add this to the mix now.

Yea Al sure. A Sandwich bag with chips, a cookie and a bottle of Water for your First Class Passengers to Brussels. Ok.

This airline treats its customers even worse than the employees for the most part which admittedly takes some effort. Change at the top can’t come soon enough. Wake up and smell the coffee BOD!!

Why won’t it?

Now sure weez. I can buy other airlines but not the one I work for.

Are you trying to buy shares through your 401K account?

Maybe open up a Scottrade account. That’s who I used to buy LUS.

I have no problem with DFW adding heads TO DFW. I have A BIG PROBLEM with them adding heads to be assigned to my station and take our work and OT.

I think Duke needs to realize we are not one union, we are several stations worried about our stations work and our stations OT, and the association is just the organization we are required to pay to work at AA.

Thanks for info, my DFW friends aren’t happy about the situation either.

No I come on here and slam the REAL story in your face every day and you can’t stand it so you ignore it. You’re FOS and you know it. You’re completely and totally absolutely FOS.

You have to be FOS cause I don’t think you’re as stupid as you pretend to be? And in that case again, you’re a “Bad Salesman” Make every excuse you want for the rest of your life but no one ever has or ever will buy your crummy old Encyclopedias.

BTW since it looks like the AMFA, the IAM, the IBT and the TWU are all working together now, who do you got left to try and peddle?

You’re all out of options Brothers.

You know when a guy resorts to personal attacks, he has lost the debate.

Just got tired of you wasting all these years telling bits and pieces of a story and leaving out lots and lots of pages.

Politicians do that.

Just watched the last part of the Aircraft Maintenance Summit in DC where TWU President Samuelsen held the last 10 Minutes and once again he doubled down telling American Airlines that he will never sign a crappy agreement that outsources more Maintenance work out of the US.

I guess you’re going to be waiting awhile to get more money Vort? Oh well.

And you never answered this question either.

Yeah why should he care how long it takes he got his 30 percent raise and got his 6 figure salary prob two houses and all the perks of corrupt union leaders while the guys who pay their salaries are the ones who suffer

Actually the top officers of the TWU haven’t taken any raises for the last few years on those positions even though the TWU Constitution says that they can. According to the Constitution every year they can take all the Contracts that have been negotiated for the prior year and whatever the average raises were they can take the same. So if the average was say 3% they can also get a 3% raise to their stipends.

Samuelsen lives in his Mother in Laws house in Gerrickson Beach Brooklyn and pays her rent. Same place he’s lived since before he even became President of TWU Local 100 from what I understand.

BTW I’m sorry that you’re suffering. You’re not Homeless are you?

I trust who can produce results. There was wondering about AMFA, but the dam finally broke, and we successfully ratified a contract. If your Association gets the money, and back pay then the talk of replacing them will go away. Besides with the little interest in union meetings nowadays, good luck in a card campaign unless people are really pissed off and determined!
