Re: Contracting Out RON / ULTRACLEAN Aircraft Cabin Cleaning
This will confirm our understanding reached during the negotiations leading up to the agreement signed on (DOS), 2003. During these negotiations, we discussed the Company’s interest to contract out certain work currently performed by TWU represented employees in order to provide structural savings.
In these discussions RON and Ultraclean were two areas currently performed by TWU represented employees that we have agreed will be outsourced. We have also agreed that the initial implementation of this provision will occur within sixty (60) calendar days from date of ratification. Outsourcing of this work that is not accomplished within the sixty (60) calendar days mentioned above will not require an offset of the savings by the TWU.
The work identified in this understanding is that work assigned a Level 1 Bill of Work on overnight aircraft or designated an “Ultracleanâ€. This work includes cleaning, stocking, shampooing of rugs, and conducting the required security checks.
Level 1 BOW or “Ultraclean†with scheduled arrivals after 0800 will be performed by day line Fleet Service except in OSO situations.

Hey Johnny!! You must have read my mind. I was going to start a new topic regarding what amfa has done for the profession. It seems that all these amfa wannabes can post is stuff they are disgruntled with regarding the TWU but have yet to post ANYTHING that amfa has done to protect or even uphold the profession as they so adamantly proclaim.Johnny Lunchbox said:
Here is what I have so far. . .in a nutshell. . .(amfa's point of view of themselves evidenced by the numerous posts)
*Delle is the greatest thing to happen since sliced bread
*We can vote him out
(silence)
(still thinking)
(more silence)
Yep, that's about it. Seems the wannabes don't have a thing to stand on yet they want my future in the hands of amfa. It's easy to find fault and then place blame but finding proof that something about amfa is beneficial is beyond their grasp.
Good call Johnny!!

AMFA HISTORY
What is AMFA?
The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) is an independent labor union representing aircraft technicians and, in their words, airline support personnel. AMFA is not affiliated with the AFL-CIO or any other labor organization. It is based in Laconia, New Hampshire.
Background
AMFA was founded by O.V. Delle-Femine, who is the only President/National Director AMFA has ever had. (40 years) Delle-Femine was born and raised in East Providence, Rhode Island. He obtained technical training as a mechanic while working in the Air Force. He became actively involved in union affairs after he left the Air Force and began working for American Airlines. Delle-Femine is well read and reportedly immersed himself in books on the history of the American labor movement. He eventually became disillusioned with the state of the mechanics' union at American and committed himself to creating a "better" labor union focusing on the "craft" aspect of the mechanics work group. Delle-Femine and a few of his friends formed AMFA in 1962 supposedly as an alternative to the traditional industrial unions that had dominated union organizing among the mechanics' craft or class up until that time. It formally became a union in 1963.
Delle-Femine and AMFA have been repeatedly frustrated over the years by the National Mediation Board's (NMB) craft or class unit determinations that consistently group so-called "unskilled" workers such as cleaners and fuelers with so-called "skilled" workers such as aircraft technicians. AMFA has consistently made clear that it strongly favors rules that would enable it to represent only these "skilled" workers. For the most part, AMFA's efforts have been unsuccessful. In fact, AMFA had very little success organizing any employees prior to 1994. The few companies where it had any success in organizing new employees (Ozark Airlines, Hughes Airwest, Southern Airways, Braniff, Trump Shuttle, Pacific Airlines, and Airlift International) are no longer in business (either through mergers or going out of business). However, the contracts AMFA negotiated during this period were always viewed as mid-scale. For the most part, AMFA was not a significant player in the airline labor movement through the mid 90-s.

What is AMFA?
The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) is an independent labor union representing aircraft technicians and, in their words, airline support personnel. AMFA is not affiliated with the AFL-CIO or any other labor organization. It is based in Laconia, New Hampshire.
Background
AMFA was founded by O.V. Delle-Femine, who is the only President/National Director AMFA has ever had. (40 years) Delle-Femine was born and raised in East Providence, Rhode Island. He obtained technical training as a mechanic while working in the Air Force. He became actively involved in union affairs after he left the Air Force and began working for American Airlines. Delle-Femine is well read and reportedly immersed himself in books on the history of the American labor movement. He eventually became disillusioned with the state of the mechanics' union at American and committed himself to creating a "better" labor union focusing on the "craft" aspect of the mechanics work group. Delle-Femine and a few of his friends formed AMFA in 1962 supposedly as an alternative to the traditional industrial unions that had dominated union organizing among the mechanics' craft or class up until that time. It formally became a union in 1963.
Delle-Femine and AMFA have been repeatedly frustrated over the years by the National Mediation Board's (NMB) craft or class unit determinations that consistently group so-called "unskilled" workers such as cleaners and fuelers with so-called "skilled" workers such as aircraft technicians. AMFA has consistently made clear that it strongly favors rules that would enable it to represent only these "skilled" workers. For the most part, AMFA's efforts have been unsuccessful. In fact, AMFA had very little success organizing any employees prior to 1994. The few companies where it had any success in organizing new employees (Ozark Airlines, Hughes Airwest, Southern Airways, Braniff, Trump Shuttle, Pacific Airlines, and Airlift International) are no longer in business (either through mergers or going out of business). However, the contracts AMFA negotiated during this period were always viewed as mid-scale. For the most part, AMFA was not a significant player in the airline labor movement through the mid 90-s. Its membership had dropped to only 439 employees by the end of 1996. Its only active members worked at Atlantic Coast Airlines, a relatively small regional airline based in Washington, D.C. With membership levels at an all time low, AMFA's finances were in shambles.

It is sad twuer, they do want to lead my future without doing their homework. They are willing to follow others for the way they talk, not their history as proof of amfa's good. This thread proves my worst thoughts, that there is not one positive aspect of amfa, or believe me, they would have been throwing it down in here.

It's the twu's history I have a problem with. Thanks to the afl-cio's "No Raid" policy, the AMFA is our only alternative to the twu. The AMFA is not perfect but it's alot closer than the twu will ever be. Our American Airlines Flight attendants have shown the way out of the twu as well as the Horizon Mechanics. AMFAs history shows they have never been replaced since being certified by the NMB to represent any work group. twu's history shows they've been replaced numerous times.
If the Big, Bad AMFA was as bad as you twu wannabes say, why are we on the eve of our card filing?? I've seen the twu in action for over 15 years and at this point, I'll take just about anyone but the twu.
The twu is nothing more than a company union. If it was not so then why does the membership not ratify LOA's??
Being replaced is nothing new to the twu. In fact it looks like the right thing to do. Isn't competition great??
You twu international wanabees dust off those tool boxes.................It's back to work!!

So if I understand all that...it's due to the lack of AMFA replacement in the industry that you like? Again you turn this thread to fit your need, we want to know what you see as AMFA hitory you can be proud of, not what the TWU lacks.
