American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

[OldGuy@AA]

Obviously my opinion is just my own and it's coming from a frustrated employee who has worked for AA for 33 years and spent over 15 of those years under concessions that are not ending any time soon. Our union made it easy for AA to take everything away and by agreeing to this association made it harder for us to get back. We

You crack me up OldGuy. So what you are saying is that the TWU has kept you under a BK agreement for 15 years and now you want us to bail you out of it. And no I think we ALL are the problem here. The IAM for not supporting you guys with the picketing, the TWU for keeping you guys under you BK agreement and not getting you any more than you have prior to the merger. The finger pointing with both our groups. All the things you want are not the fault of the IAM or it's members that you do not have them. And actually, the Negotiating Committees are evenly split, so to say that the minority is dictating the negotiations is false and you know it. My union protected my seniority, and protected me from a NC that would have grabbed the first few pieces of silver that parker offered them, instead of pushing for the gold pieces. I'm sorry I couldn't picket with you, and honestly I don't know if I could have taken the time off work. So if you want to be angry at me for not picketing go ahead. My responsibilities are 6 and 12, they will always come first. Not you or a picket line will come before them. But either way, this is exactly what the company wants. US fighting with each other.

In my opinion there would have been a lot less hostility had ANYONE from the IAM joined the picket line. Nobody did. So yeah we're fighting because it seems to us that the IAM is not willing to fight with us. So now we're supposed to be together. OK. But it is not your fault the TWU sucks. It is the IAMs fault they didn't support us. Just one man's opinion.

Another silly statement

So you can provide an example where the IAM supported the TWU? Of course you can't because they all stayed home when they were asked to help. Now who's being silly? Pot meet kettle.

I thought Phx was re classified as a gateway city.

I haven’t heard that and not to say that you couldn’t be right but are you maybe thinking about this airport?

“Phoenix- Mesa Gateway”

Now THIS is how you do an update to the Membership.

 

[charlie Brown]

I’m just stating what the company put out. BTW....you are correct, I’m NOT CB.

No he is not CB. Although I do appreciate the complement for those that say we are the same.

Nice update!!

Nice update!!

Even though we did again get an honorable mention it would be nice to see someone do one of these videos for Fleet. Or even something a little more in depth signed by Alex and Sito?

Apparently the Company has decided they want even more of our jobs than they originally said they wanted?

They are incapable of signing anything... Nelson has not yet unlocked the cuffs...

Actually the DOL did a raid and broke down the door of Tim’s hovel forcing him to give up the keys to the cuffs and freed Sito. Leaving Tim frietened and shivering in the corner in a molested heap. Sad.

You joke but Tim lost his DOL appeal freeing Sito to rape the IAM members with out fear of losing his position and that is exactly what will happen.Thanks Tim for being so bold to take a stance against these arrogant IAM sneaky bastards
