Did Lombardo ok this?

Perhaps those being harassed are advocates for representation other than the alliance.
 
If those individuals are being singled out by the company, it makes perfect sense.

Ah so part of this may be a legal maneuver trying to utilize the courts time and resources to assist with something completely outside of those particular harassments and safety concerns then?

If the company is targeting those people specifically that are opposing the alliance, then it isn't legal maneuvering - Harassment, is just that .... Harassment

I posted my opinion in posts #41 and #44. toroshark's post in #39 was a very well written rebuttal to the nonsense that the complaint doesn't ask for the proper relief.Glenn Quagmire's posts in #55 and #60 more than covered (in very clear and well-written fashion) NYer's ridiculous and repetitious criticism of the complaint.

Thank you for weighing in FWAAA. I know you are an attorney. I am not a lawyer but did attend law school (long story).

It is scary that some here have no clue. That some of these people are in TWU 'leadership' positions is a testament to why the AA AMT'S are where they are today.

I'm not in a leadership position and am only asking questions on this forum. Why is it that anytime people ask questions an assumption has to be made that there is a particular motivation behind those questions?

No need to be paranoid. I'm just curious about the issue is all.

Can that be proven in court or is that again just certain individuals paranoid opinion?

 

[Rogallo]

 

Attacking the poster for his position or valid points of view does not help you in winning the argument. Especially important since this may wind up going before a court of law.

 
 

The depth of immaturity in SOME of those who's job it is to keep our planes in the sky is mind boggling, if not down right scary.

That's a nice way of putting it. Just don't call them a lackey or ignorant.
 
I call 'em as I see 'em.

That's why they're in court - the outcome will prove the merit of the charges.

All my responses have been to NYer, not you, so I do not know what you are referring to.

I have never thought that you were in a leadership position in the TWU.

A couple of observations:
 
1. Reports are that the employees who felt  pressured, filed AIR21 Whistleblower Complaints.
All investigations, protections and remedies will come from these complaints. There is no need to file a lawsuit on these points.
 
2. By not filing for relief on accusations of pressure from management on maintenance issues, Seham and the local don't have to prove it. The AIR21 investigations will do all the leg work on that.
 
3. The lawsuit appears to be only on alleged violations of the RLA, not maintenance issues.

Too many assumptions about a lot of people on these threads all the time when no one really knows who anyone is or what's there agendas or motivations.

WNMECH,
So if the AIR21 complaints have an investigation and penalties, the lawsuit seems premature doesn't it?

 

[WNMECH]

The lawsuit appears to be only on alleged violations of the RLA.
Seham just seems to be using the other complaints to make hay.
 
Meaning "Headlines".

WNMECH,

The people who filed the AIR21 complaints are protected if they meet the qualifications to hold whistleblower status under the AIR21 program.
The lawsuit alleges RLA violations and seeks protections and damages for the local and their officers.
Also by asking for punitive damages, they are just turning up the pressure on the company.

Good luck to all involved in this.
I hope it all works out for the best.

For this lawsuit to have legs shouldn't there have been plaintiffs from all around the system, rather then one station and local president, otherwise wouldn't it be a local union reps against local management issue.

There are complaints from around the system.  DFW isn't the only station with issues, ORD has had several as well.
