not only were they trying for the IBT pension plan they had a better Health Ins. plan that would cost us zero out of pocket and the company was against it because they had no control and getting no kick backs. The IBT was fighting for us they worked for us not the company like the IAM.

"mechanics have ratified a new labor contract with the airline, their first agreement since the company acquired America West in 2005. According to a Tuesday release from the International Association of Machinists, the new contract extends through 2011 and includes an immediate 10% pay raise, followed by annual pay raises each January. Furthermore, the new contract allows for a [b[u]]"fair integration" of seniority lists without hurting either group[/u][/b], the union said.


Will someone explain what this means....I can only imagine after the pilots debacle. How do you say " ADJUSTED DOH "

 

[makers mark]

As everyone knows I have no love for the IAM, but they are not to blame for this fiasco. It is the fault of every person that voted yes and they know who they are.

So so true.

 

[john john]

What are the ratification numbers?

 

[Hey.. Chill Out]

Here ya go JJ.... Non specific

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said Tuesday that 65 percent of its members voted to ratify the three-year plan based on the contract that union leaders and the Tempe, Ariz.-based airline settled on in March.

Who said anything about the West ? The west is protected [OEI language], for 6 months anyway. [Keep an eye on PIT].

 

[MyOpinion]

It's a done deal.....the union got what it wanted and the company got what it wanted...........did we get what we wanted? Apparently so......... <_<

 

[phlgreaser]

[Hey.. Chill Out]

Is there a summary of where the votes came from? Was there anything that favored east and/or west?
