700, With all your training and work on behalf of the membership, I would like to know if you agreed on how the AGC's handled the Force Majeur issue right after 911..I have served the membership and the IAM as a shop steward with over 10 years of tenure, local lodge trustee, recording secretary, communication postions for the local and district lodges and served on the M&R Negotiating Committee, (the first time ever that someone in my classification was chosen to be on the committee. The IAM was organized in 1949 at US).
I have taken college accredited classes on labor issues, Leadership I, Leadership II, Advanced Leadership, Train the Trainer and numerous other classes at Placid Harbor.
I was trained by the man who organized the IAM at US in 1949 and has negotiated almost every CBA at US. Been trained by numerous Labor Leaders from all across the country including labor lawyers and bankruptcy attornies.
Helped coordinate the strike at my local in 1992.
I have won awards for my work on behalf of the membership and the IAM.
Been to numerous conferences where training and other events occur.
Voluntered my own personal time on numerous occasions to work on behalf of the membership.
Lobbied our Senators and Congressman on behalf of Airline employees, met with Presidential Candidates to further our issues.
Marched on Washington for airline workers after 9/11 on several occasions, marched with the striking Newspaper workers in the big newspaper strike in Detroit, to support their efforts in reaching a contract.
"With regard to the AWA contract, trying to bargain a contract for the West only would be an exercise in futility. Now that USA and AWA are one airline, we have to bargain one contract. Any effort to bargain for West only will logically lead to negotiations to combine East and West. Obviously a contract that combines East and West is possible - we already did it. I hope to see the parties back to transition bargaining next month. Hope all is well. Tom."
http://www.teamster.org/divisions/Airline/...News_Issue8.pdfBetter go ask UA and NW's AMTs about the injunctions their companies sought and got when it was shown they were doing a slowdown.
Glass is foaming at the mouth.
Tim,
Now you are saying five year for West parity, which I happen to agree with you, while IAM expects West to become cannon fodder for a future strike if East doesn't get what it wants in a few years? IAM is saying that "trying to bargain a contract for the West only would be an exercise in futility" and so West can continue to wait indefinately?
I would love to strike tomorrow in the middle of holidays, but not because for the love of either the East or IAM, but because I tire of Parker's game in refusing to unilaterally create pay parity. But now IAM is saying only a strike if it benefits East through a combined contract, but screw Section 6 in the meanwhile???? I am to honor this future strike in a few years while West lived in poverty and East made a decent wage?! What would have East done for West, not to mention, the IAM? For those on the West who refused to sign IBEW cards just remember this is what the IAM thinks about you... that you are a tool and expendable cannon fodder for East and IAM.
So eruditely rants Jester!
