American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

[Rogallo]

Why do they address us as brothers and sisters when we don't even break bread at the same table?

That is for the lower IQ portion of the membership

 

[Rogallo]

Wouldn’t be more accurate to call us simply, captives?

Not really. We are free to leave any time!

If they fence in the iam and they keep their medical, we demand a $5.00 an hour medical pay premium.

Who is we? I don’t care if they keep their medical for 12-24 months....when it expires per current agreement . “We” demand an end to the $2500 plus per month individual losses. Stop worrying about everyone else and take care of your own bread and butter

Never understood how it made any sense to forgo advances just to keep others from keeping something a little longer. Makes no sense at all.

If it’s common sense to have a give and take during negotiations, why did Samuelson go on that rant 5 months ago.

Well at least he learned his lesson at the expense of 4 months of lost earnings for the membership, which he is not answerable to.

The give and take line is there to ease us into the conversations they said they wouldn't take, but were inevitable... Like the IAM Medical and some of the Scope.

We shall see how it plays out. I dont think its going to be just 12-24 months

You have no idea what the JCBA will be. But keep hawking about the medical, lol.

 

[AANOTOK]

There are some gains and some losses. TWU gains more than IAM.

And I have this gut feeling that it might be that way in items, but it sure won't feel like it when things are finalized. Sito will come out a winner and Alex will brag about what we did gain. Peterson will claim it was the best the TWU could get...

 

[V.O. Reason]

IAM put out the info an hour ago.
More delays no deal this week.
More progress being made
Ok it’s time to bring in the secret weapon.
Tim Nelson, calling Tim Nelson
Oh and yeah more dates for next week set

 

[dfw gen]

Just another in a long line of disappointing and useless updates.

 

[paul1]

and it appears you do not know when this thing is going to be done like you alluded to

Blah, blah, blah. Fucking useless another week of unrecoverable losses for the twu.

 

[AANOTOK]

Rumor it will be done this week

So, how do you like your crow...

 

[V.O. Reason]

Blah, blah, blah. Fucking useless another week of unrecoverable losses for the twu.

Yep, everyday this lingers we are all loosing more and more and TWU guys more so it’s insane
