PITbull was very forthcoming in regard to the dues paid in her workgroup why is it that such a difficult question to answer?
Actaully I think 700UW did post the numbers some time ago. It appears he has more faith in the IAM than you do.
To some I come across as anti-union and in a way that is corret. I am totally completely Anti-National Unions. Go back to the bible Cav and the quotes regarding "Serving two Masters" How can the National IAM, AFA or ANY national union look a Local Company member in the eye and tell them "We have your best interests at heart 100% of the time? Fact is they can't! They have concerns over their own budget and maintaining membership levels and their subsequent bues dollars. They have a vested interest in preserving wages and work rules across industry's. These conflicting objectives mean that you at US Airways may or MAY NOT be well served by national union leadership.
I'll tell you point blank that I'd be a helluva lot more supportive of your position if all of the unions were captive organizations that served only one master! The dues paying employees of US Airways. That isn't the case now and I feel that some of you are pawns in a scheme planned at the national level. Standing Tall at US may well preserve thousands of good jobs at other airlines while you are all thrown under the proverbial bus.
See Cav I can throw my faith around too. So tell me are you "In the world but not of the world" I suspect you are! just curious if you care to share.
You full of it. The membership IS THE ISSUE. They dictate what they will accept and what they will not.
