Force Majeure

WOW CIO I'm impressed!!! Finally showed me some facts.

Bottom line is you proved AMFA took the fight to arbitration. twu however failed to take their cases to arbitration. They just rolled over and took it in the @$$.

I did see in an article yesterday that the twu was the first union at United to give in to consessions. That ought to be something to be proud of.

United Airlines asks judge to void its union contracts

United Airlines has asked its bankruptcy judge to void all but one of its union contracts, but says it will continue to meet with the unions in case the two sides can reach a cooperative agreement.

The move Monday in federal bankruptcy court in Chicago was expected, indeed expected on that very date, because UAL Corp. had repeatedly said that was what it would do if contract concession deals were not reached.

But the company had a surprise announcement, too: that it did reach a tentative contract agreement with one of its unions before the deadline. Its meteorologists, represented by the Transport Workers Union, agreed to concessions that save the amount of money that UAL Corp. was looking to save, so they were exempted from the Monday filing. Meteorologists vote on their agreement Friday.

I saw the FM1 grievance case today. Haven't had a whole lot of time to scrutinize it but from what I did see you guys sure didn't put on a very convincing case. Not too many "credible" witnesses speaking on amfa's behalf. Some big mistakes were made, and I'm not even in the legal field and could see that. If this is what goes on in the other FM cases I'm afraid those don't look to promising either.

GO AMFA!!!!!
Protecting the profession at it's finest!!

At AA, the twu had them outsourced.


CIO,

Just read the whole case, very interesting testimony from the company. They think like good twu money and spilled their beans prematurely. Look for AMFA to crush them in FM2 based on the company testimony about ASM's and RSM's.


BTW...If you need help translating the FM language, feel free to ask, I know you twu guys have no attention span for 38 pages with no cartoons. Of course you can always pay Art (the coffin watcher) Luby to decipher it for you.
