CWA Files for Representation Election

[700UW]

They are employees at will, who is paying for it?

We shall see when the court denies them.

Go look at UA, DL, NW and US, and see if non-union employees were given status in front of the court?

If an employee has a claim, they have to file it with the court.

And still waiting for your answers to the questions, what is this the 10th time you ignored it?

The CWA has no legal standing with AA and the bankruptcy case.

And the CWA cant spend money to represent them.

 

[eolesen]

At best, CWA would have amicus curiae standing, which is essentially worth about as much as the retiree letter pleading for mercy posted by Buck last week.

I do give the CWA credit for smelling an opportunity, but their offer of help is a lot like the parable about promises made to the frog to carry a scorpion across the river....

 

[700UW]

At least someone gets it.

But Eric, there is a process for retirees written into the law, that would be Section 1114.

At US we had a Section 1114 committee for the retirees and the IAM gave them the assistance needed, which is perfectly legal.

So the IAM HELP non-employees in bankrupisty who had transaction and relations with the courts. Good for them

You just answered your on question
moreover

9 CFR 1113.6 - APPEARANCES; WITHDRAWAL OR ABSENCE FROM HEARING.

(a) Who may appear. Any individual may appear for himself. Any member of a partnership which is a party to any proceeding may appear for such partnerships upon adequate identification. A bona fide officer or a full-time employee of a corporation, association, or of an individual may appear for such corporation, association, or individual by permission of the officer presiding at the hearing. A party also may be represented by a practitioner.

They were retired members receiving benefits under the CBA and provided for in Section 1114 of the Bankruptcy code, seems you dont comprehend the law is written for this to occur, unlike a group of at will employees who receive nothing under a CBA because they arent covered by it.

Try again.

 

[frontline]

That's right. They would not be able to help in bankruptcy. Best they could do if they are elected is to bargain a contract with AA, which AA could then shred in bankruptcy. Not exactly a big help to the agents!

Agents’ Committee Opposes Payment
January 18, 2012 · Posted In: Headline News

Attorneys representing the new Ad Hoc Committee of Passenger Service Agents have filed objections in bankruptcy court to American Airlines’ parent company, AMR, hiring financial consultants Rothschild, Inc., for millions of dollars while planning to cut employees.
The agents’ committee maintains that the payments are too high and improperly arranged in advance, and that Rothschild received a “preferential transfer” of $1,090,000 four days before American Airlines filed for bankruptcy. That payment was improper because it was applied to retainers for work done before the bankruptcy filing, and thus should have been a part of the company’s debt as considered by the court, the committee argued.

What a joke. The CWA has absolutely no saying in ithese proceedings.

CWA didn’t filed objections now did they?

However the agents at AA are having their day in court and their voice heard
It must be those pins

 

[FWAAA]

More proof that fools and their money are soon parted. Neither the judge nor the official creditors' committee gives a rat's ass what the agents (and the CWA) think about matters over which the agents have no say.

The judge said this?
Please show the “proof”

 

[eolesen]

Why don't you show proof that the judge indeed gave a rat's ass.

 

[BoeingBoy]

Leaving out the "paying all this money while cutting employee's pay/benefits" argument, the ad hoc committee did raise some interesting legal arguments that I don't have the expertise to judge.
