Amfa's History Hidden

[Long Term AMT]

AMFA always leads the way to loserville. Look at UAL AMFA guys lead by Delle :blink: went to beat the company in BK. Wow they got two times the loss they would have not gotten if they would have listened to someone other than Delle :blink:. He plays on peoples emotions and preys upon their misfortunes.

So why is everyone suprrizzzzed by Delle :blink: wanting to provoke mechanics to force AA into BK? So they can lose under the helm of the TWU and Delle :blink: can come back and criticize the TWU, that's why!

He :blink: let Ozark mechanics hit the bricks, lay-offs over a nickel (five cents!)
The almighty attorney :down: couldn't save the NWA arbitration, was that maybe because Delle :blink: was unprepared? Yes!

I can't wait to see how he will fail with his no layoff, no pay cuts contract, then blame the IAM at NWA when the company dealzzzz with him, he'll :blink: have some splainin to do when he's the blame. Oh, that's right, it's not the IAM it was the membizzzzz that voted for it!

Nobody voted for the reduced dues reduction Delle :blink:

Friday November 12,1999

When we are asked why the Northwest Mechanics, Cleaners, and Custodians (MCC) voted for amfa in last years representation election, we give them one simple answer: the MCC fell for amfa's lies. And yes, we have proof.

Once again, amfa has been caught in a lie. It did in fact promise the Northwest MCC that its dues would be reduced to $25.00 per month, but instead their dues were raised to between $48-$50 from around $43.00. The average mechanic is now paying $23 a month more than the $25 maximum amfa promised. Amfa said if a group is working under a concessionary agreement, including an ESOP, there would be a $25 "cap" on dues. Amfa continues to regard the current NWA MCC agreement to be concessionary. They further said that this cap could only be increased by a majority vote of the members who would be affected by such an increase. No vote ever took place.

What no vote? :blink:

 

[Pro-AMT]

Hidden History: that is a real laugh. That very point is why AMFA is running through this industry like wild fire. There is NO hidden agenda or activities in AMFA. Members and Locals is where power resides. All transactions are open or open to review by members.

It amazes me that someone who has zero experience working under AMFA feels they know more than the nearly 20,000 mechanic and related people who have elected to try AMFA and never looked back. Are all 20,000 of us stupid, brainwashed, or not quite as bright as the few select industrial union propagandists? All the made-up, inane, and spin-doctored tales can not refute reality of group after group of mechanics moving to AMFA and never even having a serious card collection (beyond the few ex-union officers).

For far too many years lazy bloated industrial unions have ignored members, conceded language, compensation and benefits, and failed to fight for our craft issues. Along comes AMFA and we get promises to change... AMFA wins at airlines and we get smoke and mirror window dressing which they call real change... There can be NO real change in industrial unions because they deny any and all opposition or minority views in organizations that are firmly rooted in top down power and control philosophy. To deny the minority opinion is to prevent growth and change and set the stage for you organizations failure. Positive change often begins in a tiny voice that runs opposite of conventional wisdom. The United States was founded by dissenters and the value of open dissent is why the Supreme Court issues two opinions on every decision.

Vote AMFA and get down to restoring our craft instead of fighting the very people we pay to represent us! 20,000 other people have made this decision and are very happy today.

At UAL the majority long-term IAM supporters have been duly impressed at how much better life is under a union we control. We look forward to American joining the rest of us under AMFA and rebuilding what should be a much respected and well rewarded profession.

So, here we go again!

Another self imposed oracle that repeats unsubstantiated 'data?' from
amfanuts.com and the-mechanic.net then proclaims themselves ‘knowledgeable’.

I am beginning to tire of you and your 'ilk' repeating your mantra of lies and disinformation.
I've considered an 'auto responder' with a template of
factual data so I do not have to repeat the same particulars every time one of you
yahoos start your disinformation campaigns.

For your Edification (as you appear to need some!)
IAM was the bargaining agent for United Airlines until 7/14/2003

http://www.amfanatl.org/Pages/06_News%26In...20Wins%20PR.pdf

Blaming AMFA for the events prior to 7/14/2004 is untenable.

As I have stated:

Don’t spread you manure on my sidewalk and I won’t piss on your shoe!

Stick to the 'FACTS!!!

You never cease to amaze me.

Glad to hear it.

You and your amfa crap never stop.

Hopefully.

We all know what started the increase in wages and it wasn't amfa!!!

Do we? I thought it was AMFA, so please tell me what 'everyone' else already knows.

I can't and will never take to the assumption that amfa cares about everyone in the craft and class. There is too much evidence to prove other wise!!


Lets see it!

Concessions were voted on just like the "last round" was.

Not quite. We were never given changable ballots with sequential pin numbers before.

I tell you what WASN'T voted on was the vast numbers of employess in YOUR craft and class Bob that were laid off with no warning.

Do you mean the mechanics from AA that were laid off, you know the ones that had system protection that was rolled back?

Amfa kept promising clearer skies and better conditions. Yeh, better conditions for whom?? Those who work at the unemployment office??

For M&R thats whom. This has always been a cyclical industry. Thats why we have seniority, when we are Junior we take the layoffs, as we get senior we enjoy more security. In the meantime the union should fight for language that ensures that the work is ours. AA has always had the most lax scope clause. Other airlines were amazed how the TWU allowed other airlines to bring their workers into AA hangars and on the ramp.

You know I don't have proof at this moment in time. I could put up an argument regarding FM etc but the reality of it is Bob that amfa layoffs were due to the "negligence" of it's union leaders.

And what are our twenty plus years of concessions due to?

Amfa layoff numbers far out number the TWU's.

And so does the IAMs. However with AMFA their pay and benifits far "outnumber" ours as well.

Now you guys complain about lower wages, concessions etc but what do the former members of amfa have Bob??? NOTHING!!!!! THEY DON'T HAVE A JOB!!!

How do you know what the have or do not have? More assunptions without proof?They probably have a lot more than the former TWU members, and they have something worth going back to.

You guys criticize us for wanting to save jobs!!!!

Save jobs? Come on now we all know that the company refused to take the $660 million in concessions through layoffs as the Presidents council proposed. They could not continue all their operations if they laid off that many people and they would miss the opportunity to exploit the opportunity to gain market share. So it was the company that said no to the amount of layoffs required to meet their savings objective. The fact is the company had a certain number of layoffs that they wanted and they got that. They got it thanks in part to the week of vacation that everyone gave back. So tell me, if saving jobs was the priority then why didnt the TWU officers give back their AA paychecks and have us all keep the week of vacation they took away? By taking away the week it allowed the company to layoff one worker out of fifty and still have the same amount of man hours at their disposal.


Tell me with all of your knowledge , why do you think the TWU cares more about it's members than amfa???

Well first of all I do not think that, nor do I believe that I've ever posted anything that would lead anyone to believe I felt that way. The TWU only cares about dues and their AA pocket money. Both were at risk, so they sold out the members as much as possible without affecting their take home pay. You still have not come back with any answers on the "Question for the TWU" thread concerning TWU officers collecting a check from AA.

Amfa is a one way ticket to the unemployment line for many, many folks and there is NO denying that. Look at their record.

You look at the short term record, however as any reasonable person knows in order to get a clearer perspective one should look at the long term. And when we look at the TWUs long term record, the last twenty years, things do not look good for TWU members. Admittedly AMFA does not really have as much of a record to go on, however their ideology, structure and track record so far suggest that for mechanics, if they want the possiblity of having a rewarding career as such, AMFA is the way to go. Even if we put aside the democracy and accountability, how can you deny that mechanics should all be in one union?

You asked me what more I want as far an proof that amfa is the better union and all you ever come up with is we can vote out Delle and we got a higher wage. Which is a load of crap because we all know the pilots started the "trend" if you will, for wage increases.

Come on now. You are trying to say that the Pilots are responsible for the increases we got? Then how come when we supposedly had a "me too" clause in our contract tied to the pilots it didnt work? Our pilots got a big raise back in 97, we didnt get anything out of that. How come other work groups like Fleet service and stores didnt see near the increase that mechanics at AA saw and how come our increase was nearly identical to the mechanics at NWA? And then the same thing happened at UAL?

Amfa has NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!!! No proof of their "service" to union members that it is the better union. NOTHING!!!!


Well, if we were to plot mechanics pay under AMFA it would look like an inverted veiw of AA mechanics pay vs CPI with the TWU(less the AMFA spike of course). Thats something! Now what does the TWU have?

Two different philosophies as far an unionism is concerned in my opinion!!

The TWU adheres to business unionism and AMFA adheres to craft unionism.

AMFA assists the airline COMPANIES in lowering costs through wages and benefits by allowing the outsourcing and causing furlough.

AMFA assists the airline COMPANIES in lowering costs through wages and benefits by allowing the outsourcing and causing furlough.

JL, I thought it was the industrial union negotiated union contracts that AMFA inherited at the airlines you imply. Hu, funny how your post neglects this fact. But what is to be expected from a puppet with a bat.
