Thanks for the information. I was thinking with the merge of HP that US Fleet was a larger classification.

- Thread starter New Direction Spokesman
- Start date
One could look at it as what it takes to stay afloat. Many other airlines never made it past the BK gig. Has the new direction stated what changes they want to make or what direction they want to go?

Just saw the new video from New Direction and thought UAL folks should see it the article from the ord tribune is worth a read as well.

RE The Unionist
It was brought to my attention that CID, a former UAL station had
manpower issues this past week because of the sub Zero weather. Needless to say the
contractors that handle the station called in sick and could not
maintain the operation. A call was placed to Chicago for help.
Manpower was flown in from Chicago to handle the operation.
CID was shut sometime around 2003 and approx 28-30 IAMAW members were
furloughed. Some retired but most scattered around the system. DSM
now has 4 furloghed CID IAMAW members working and holding on waiting
for the day that CID reopens. They continue to commute 90 miles from
CID to DSM to make a living for their families.
Ironically, 3 of the 4 IAMAW members that were furloughed from CID
were home on RDO's in Cedar Rapids, Iowa
that day. The report I recieved was 2 ORD CSR's and 2 ORD
Management flew in and participated in the operation. A former DSM
Shop Steward, who now works for the CID Airport went down
and saw for himself and reported back to us that this was in fact
true.
I want to thank the Chicago Ramp Committeewhich has a NEW DIRECTION candidate as its chairman for backing up our
furloughed brothers and sisters by not sending help and letting the contractor fail on its
own.
On the other hand shame on the PCE committee person, who is running for AGC with Canoli and telling everyone who'll listen that she is a true unionist, for allowing her people
to work jobs that were taken away from our members and contracted out.
This needs to be talked about everywhere. This is Randy Canale and his team at their very best. What did Tilton promise these two this time for showing your true UNION COLORS??

update for our UA brothers / sisters
the t/a agreement Randy proposed was basically nothing more than the original T/A that over 75% voted down on juice was 1 more week vac and a 20.00 topout rate
the rest was B/S.. it's time for Randy to go away for good...
vote NEW DIRECTION in 08 Go Delaney

Since 2001 how many didnt make it?
Seems to me that there were a whole lot of BK filings but not too many liquidations. Where things as bad as they claimed or was BK simply a tool used to screw the workers?
I think the latter.
