American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

[Fleetoffoot]

TWU side would never go for IAM pension plan. Unfreeze our pension plan or continue 401(k) match

D.O.A.

 

[V.O. Reason]

D.O.A.

And the AA people know that so that’s prob exactly how it will be offered because the IAM is not going to let the pension go without a big fight which will give the company an excuse to further delay a vote for a long time.
I want to be optimistic about this week but I’ve seen nothing from this group of negotiators that tells me they will move off of what they want. I can see more of the same coming this week.
No progress being made

I'm sure Samuelson will open his mouth and say something intelligent to move negotiations forward.

Haven't been paying attention, eh.

The legal problems the Association for themselves into will be what pushes a deal. It may not come this week but don't be surprised if the tough guy rhetoric disappears.

That's your calling card to progress being made.

 

[Rogallo]

Negotiations are over. Anything else is just a formality.

"The Association" leadership has F'ed it up royally.

But not to worry......"We'll get 'em next time Brother"!

 

[bigjets]

Has anybody else heard that association gave up move crews/towing crews for 400 mechs for Tulsa?

Frankly the association did it to themselves. Members kept in the dark for years. No progress made, and the company sat back keeping all the money members lost out on. Lots of frustrated members, not counting the imbecile messing with the aircraft in Miami. I'd say the association did a terrible job, especially the TWU for what members have endured. We should know quite soon how this will go. I would think the company will take this opportunity to put the screws to the association over the damages the court agreed with. I think we'll know soon.

Well we have sito as the director and alex garcia as the ceremonial vice director.
Really doesnt matter who chairs or vice chairs when the iam decides or is forced to accept something we live as second class employees....

 

[1AA]

They did a great job when it comes to self financial preservation. Forced themselves on the membership without a vote. Kept us in the dark during negotiations and big mouth Samuelson sealed the courts decision on screwing us.

 

[Buck]

Huh?

Sorry I meant American is getting the facility in Tulsa rather reasonable.

 

[iluvaa]

Does anyone know what top pay for delta mechanics is now, after there recent raise

Come on down brother. Hooters would like your business!

 

[ATD]

The AMT's for AA have only but themselves to blame.
They had many changes to leave and choose not too.
Amfa card drive, AMP card drive and they choose not to sign a card.
We deserve what we get.....
