Not sure how many guys, but they have Southwest , Alaska, Mesaba. In Jan. 2012 they filed for Horizon!
The only good thing about the 2003 debacle is that we accrued 9 more years of pension. We also kept the retiree medical. In 2010 TWU was willing to give the retiree medical away too. After giving everything away in 2003 to keep the pension and retiree medical don't you think these two benefits should have been untouchable? But AA wanted the retiree medical before they filed BK and the TWU pulled out all the stops to try to get a yes vote. The no vote did two things. It denied the company's wish to take back their match money from the retiree medical fund and it kept the local 514 president, who was pushing the yes vote, from getting an international position. Local 514 still get's their instructions from Jim Little and did what they could to get a yes vote recently. They printed up side by side comparisons of the offer and term sheet, leaving out certain items from the term sheet to make these deals look different when they really weren't. They also printed up propoganda that slandered Bob Owens and distributed it from the grievance office. Nobody at local 514 has taken responsiblility for this to this date. Think about it. They used TWU money to print and distribute a bunch of quotes from over the years that were taken out of context to appear as something completely different than what they were intended. This attack was concentrated on a fellow union brother and local president! Only because he wanted the truth to come out and for all of us to be familiar with the facts. This alone should make it obvious that the TWU needs to go. If you try to inform the membership, or hold a vote no sign, or post anything that conflicts with their views, you are the enemy. Sign a card and send these bums packing. Don't give them a chance to sell us out again.
TWU- BOTTOM OF BARREL NOWHERE ELSE TO GO !!!! VOTE NO SIGN AMFA CARD !!!
