Restructuring of the Present Constitution Regarding the National Office
A Proposal for Change
Due to our meteoric growth, the AMFA must amend its present Constitution to meet the changes and challenges of the 21st century within the airline industry. The AMFA has outgrown the era that allowed the Association to be 'run by committee.' The National Director must be the individual held responsible for decisions and actions, rather than the entire National Executive Council, and I propose that the National Director take a more direct leadership role in the operation of the Association. We cannot wait another four years to implement these changes. Improvements must be accomplished at the National Constitution Convention, which convenes May 3, 2004. The current Constitution was adopted in the 1960s, and restructuring improvements must be implemented in the 2004 Constitution. I have assembled those changes that I believe are necessary on the pages of this web site.
The National Executive Council will consist of 8 Membership Directors, one elected from each airline. They will be the policy makers. They will be part time and eventually, depending upon their workload, certain membership directors may become full time. The National Officers will consist of the National Director, two Assistant National Directors, one Secretary/Treasurer combined, and a Safety and Standards Director. The five elected officers will run the day to day business and enact policy from the Membership Directors.
To enhance participation and democracy, I believe members at all airlines must elect officers and participate in decision making of the national office. The proposals below were formulated to achieve that goal.
Why the Proposed Changes are Necessary
We presently represent Mechanics and Related at 8 carriers. The workload for one Assistant National Director has become excessive, therefore I propose we increase the number to two.
As is common in many other unions, I propose to combine the office of National Secretary with National Treasurer. This consolidation will save National over $100,000 per year.
The rapid growth of the AMFA has made an impact on the offices of the 3 Regional Directors, and these positions are now overburdened. Therefore, I propose to remove the three Regional Director offices and establish an Airline Contract Administration Coordinator (ACAC) at each airline. These representatives, in concert with the two Assistant National Directors, Membership Directors, and Coordinators will increase representation and assistance available for AMFA Locals and AMFA members.
I adamantly oppose any national officer directing the National Convention. I believe that it is a conflict of interest. An outside professional parliamentarian should be hired to chair the convention. NEC officers should be present in the audience to respond to questions that may be asked by the Delegates and/or Rules Committee.
In order to offer equal representation to all AMFA members, we can no longer be a one airline national office. These are my ideas for immediate change, they are not 'chisled in stone,' and I welcome all constructive criticism and comments. (Note: This web site is independent of the AMFA, and all costs associated with the site are paid by me.)

Read carefully the concept, It mirrors other Unions and gives more power to the National Director, It's designed to take additional power from the members which they had little to begin with, What does it matter, all they do is cancel the convention if it does not go delle's way..

Not quite. Members get to vote for the National Director. The National Director is directly accountable to the members.Checking it Out said:
Members do not get to vote for Sonny Hall or Jim Little but they have complete control over our contract.
All this proves is that AMFA is capable of evolving, unlike the TWU. Look at the TWU 2001 Convention minutes. Sonny squashed all motions for Democratic reform. The members were never given the opportunity to vote and the delegate vote was conducted by "voice", with Sonny determining who was louder with no means of verification. When challenged Sonnys response was "Well, if you get up here, then you can decide the day you get here." (pg 9)

The proposal, you have to be joking? Right? The new chart does not even reference the Members. I was under the impression the Members were the supreme authority, If you read closely you will see power being removed from the locals also.

Question:
Before everyone gets their panties in a wad over proposed changes on a website.
Does anyone know who owns the domain, and who actually uploaded the proposal?
It must be true, "I read it on the internet"!

TWUER, You are correct, I do understand their is a riff forming at United.
And the proposed changes may be designed to stop United Mechanics from changing the Constitution at the local level.
