Thanks for the Input Kev.
700U obviously doesnt realize the difference between a CBA and an imposed agreement. Sad isnt it? That unions have become so weak and so used to kissing the company's but that they actually dont know what a CBA is, they just assume its what the company imposes.

So when are you guys going to make a move towards unifying our industry? I know from reading your posts that you have strong union beliefs and I'm sure that you recognize that we need a drastic restructuring of the labor movement. Change is needed at the leadership level, from there change can follow at the membership level. I've called the IBT which at this time is the only union in a position that can carry this out but so far they have not been interested, perhaps because they are too busy cozying up to the TWU over at USAIR at the moment.

Very well said, and one of the reasons I posted a certain thread that I will not mention, because I promised the Mod Gods
Like I said in my original opine when I started that thread...it was not meant to be "Anti-Union"...Just to further the discussion. Although that thread has gone by the wayside, it seems as though Mr. Owens has his thoughts in order, and is a "threat" to "Mr. 7--". (being very careful here, people).

Keep up the good work, mr. Bod Owens

I absolutely do.

Change is needed at the leadership level, from there change can follow at the membership level.

I agree, though I would "argue" that any change at the top can only be sparked by a desire for change at the local level.

Like you, I think the IBT represents the best vehicle for unifying (sp?) the industry. Moving from the AFL-CIO into the Change to Win coalition was-in my opinion- a very smart move.

When will all this happen? I don't know. Frankly, I would have thought people would have had enough a long time ago. For me this mentality of resignation and (to a lesser extent) apathy is the most frustrating of all. It's sad that the fact that everyone complains but very few get involved is now an accepted truth. It'd be one thing if times were good, but obviously thse are not those times. If any progress is to be made, changing this collective mindset is a critical first step.

I'm not sure how it is in larger locals like NYC, but as an example in my old station we had membership from NWA, UAL and WN. Total active membership was roughly 350 people. Outside of those of us that were officers, UA *maybe* had 3-5 other members attend meetings, we (NW) had 1-2 if we were lucky, and WN never had anyone show up outside of their grievance committee man.
