American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

[Tim Nelson]

Look here you stupid fk, I have never ever wasted my time looking at one of your stupid videos much less commented on one.thats just another in a long list of lies for you,anytime you post you’re either lying or feeding your massive ego.
I sure don’t buy everything Sito says and I out right dislike Klemm but you sure as hell ain’t the answer.The only dopes I know are you and your brainwashed followers.
Personally I wouldn’t vote you for jock washing attention

Ill give you points for that one cltcat but your attitude is the one that hosed all of us. Our pension is hosed because you and others stood down. And our family health care is hosed for the same reason.
You arent the only one who rents out the ole brain and sits back and allows the madness.

Singing kumbuya with this miserable union over the next several years while you guys wait for a pay raise from the Flying Speghetti Monster is simply insame. Sorry.

That would be funny if he got his information from Tim in Facebook cause that is what he pretty much is saying.You know how rumors roll at this place

Al
Its over. The final offer was exhausted. The union effed up and took the money bait for cross utilization. It has ZERO leverage. The company is moving on to the pilot negotiations as we rejected a 15% boost, 10% greater than united and southwest. The union will file for expedited mediation and the company will agree. The mediator will not have any authority but to fascilitate. But a final offer is just that.

Come on Weez with the threats already

Come on Weez with the threats already

Actually, the Association already "Bit" on the bait. The fatal flaw that took away all leverage was going for the $$$ and giving up our future raise and cross utilization to make the merger 'seamless'.

All other unions on the property went for a complete contract and werent' suckered for the money/cross utilization gig.
There really isn't anything the company needs from us. Hopefully, Alex stays submissive to Sito for the next 3-5 years and hopefully they don't take less than what is offered now.

And everyone can say "Let's fight" but our union already agreed to no strike or slowdown and would be sued mightily if there were significant interruptions.

The weekend updates of chest thumping and screaming by Mr Baskett aren't a fart in the wind. They have a few choices.
1. allow a vote
2. sign on to expedited negotiations prior to section 6 and stroke it for anothr 6 months.
3. file section 6 and see what happens in 3-5 years.

Tim, you are Waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy late on #2 brother:
https://www.twu.org/aa-bargaining-update-jan-13/
"Top level TWU/IAM Association leadership will be joining ongoing joint contract negotiations with American Airlines to expedite outstanding economic issues."

That link is from January 2017!!! We've been in expedited negotiations ever since, good thing too, who knows how long it would have taken if we weren't....

Just to help out those that haven't read the Association Constitution, "Top Level TWU/IAM Association Leadership" is all of 2 people.

Lol. So true. But they were just bull chitting. The expedited negotiations has to be agreed to by the company and given to the nmb which will assign a mediator to fascilitate.
At United, it produced nothing.
The company will sign that and would be willing to move things around.
The Association is in a jam. It bit on the cross utilization. Now it hasnt any leverage other than lus health.
Whatever the case, members are now sick of the incredibly dopey updates. Too much violin playing.

^This should be on a Tee Shirt and given to the members..

Thank you Mark and Sean. Hopefully most will see that the company’s statements, “offers” and propaganda videos are misleading at best.
Hearing that the company once again reneged on their word pertaining to the 2014 agreement and gains that would be made in a JCBA, members should understand that they prove time and time again to be deceitful and cannot be trusted.

 

[Tim Nelson]

so they are calling for a slowdown in the video but are they going to pay the fines?
These clowns took the money for cross utilization, so all leverage is with the company.
Looks like baskett aged 50 years. wow. Then again none of us are getting younger.
Good video but disappointing that there has been no twu fleet leadership that supports this.
