As they all should. I have always suggested for anyone to do this if ANY organization has passed out private information, or if a union has illegally obtained private information rather getting it from the company or illegally obtaining information thru hired private investigators. I encourage all of you, that had your privacy rights violated, to file a complaint. It is just plain stupid to allow the company or any union to continue this kind of behavior, as well as, it is telling the company and union involved that they can just continue to do so in the future as they wish. Put a stop to this behavior, take action and file on them both and let the gov decide who will be punished for violating your privacy rights. Good to hear some people are finally doing something about it. The mechanics at AA should have done the same thing, but I was told they were dealing with more important issues to worry about a little ol privacy rights issues, where now that the US guys are filing about the very same issue, would have received a lot more attention and vitality due to the fact it is involving the same union trying to get in at both carriers. File guys, the AA mechs should have done it too...A little birdie told me something at work the other day.
It seems that Andy Marshall, and Al Hemeneway might be getting a visit from the Federal Authorities.
Seems confidential information was obtained from US Airways and given to the IBT about all the furloughed employees.
The ibt organizers who visited their homes, had their new US Airways Employee numbers, funny those members were laidoff anywhere from 1999 to 2005, and never received new employee numbers from US Airways after the merger, yet the ibt had all their information, address, where they worked, where they were laid-off from and other personal and confidential information that came from US Airways personnel files.
Wonder how Andy and Al will look in orange, since it is a crime to obtain that information from the company.
Some of the furloughed employees are contacting authorities about it.
