"IAM members will not be duped into standing with AMFA"
Maybe if Roach actually worked on the ramp at some point in the past 30 years and was in touch with the needs and interests of the membership he would understand. He enjoys a cushy lifestyle on the backs of the hardworking IAM members.

Dear National Pension Plan Participant:
We are pleased to present you with this Summary Plan Description (SPD) explaining the IAM National Pension Funds National Pension Plan. This SPD incorporates all amendments adopted in the National Pension Plan through January 2012.
The IAM National Pension Fund has provided valuable retirement protection for members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, and their families, for over 50 years. We hope this summary will be of assistance to you and your family in understanding the National Pension Plan.
We believe that this SPD accurately reflects the Plan. Please remember, though, that the text of the Plan itself, as interpreted by the Board of Trustees, represents the final authority in all cases.
Sincerely,
The Board of Trustees

I met the guy while at the crystal palace in Upper Marlboro for a school. I was not even slightly impressed. I was part of the IAM for many years, and tried to change from within. After realizing that was a losing effort, we all decided that the AMFA was the way to go. The airlines and the IAM realized that they were at risk from the AMFA and worked together to break us.737823 said:
I hope the people at AA rid themselves of the TWU and the IAM. Ask the US Airways Mechanics what they think of the IAM. Look at real tired on here. He speaks the truth about them.

Did we fat finger one of them???
USAIR is the only carrier that the IAM still represents AMTs at and they aren't delivering for them. I think it would make the most sense to scrap the alliance, MX go AMFA and fleet go TWU.
Josh
The only ones getting DUPED are the MEMBERS at US AIRWAYS BY THE IAM.
And now they are trying to DUPE the AA guys too.
I just hope the AA guys are smarter than we were to let the IAM put a ROPE around their necks.
All this IAMNPF does is give the IAM a hold on you, So they can keep doing a piss poor job and you cant get rid of them.(SO DON'T GET DUPED!)
IT"s the IAM's Life Vest to keep in control of your DUES and Safe Guard from being BOOTED to the CURB.
Have a good one Josh.
PUT IN A AMFA CARD NOW or you too are soon to be DUPED!!!!!!

Those were the exact words Roach used in his letter to AMFA at NWA in 2005. He was bitter the AMTs left his scam of a union a few years back. And no AMTs called the rampers and IAM members "ramp apes" and other disparaging terms like Roach charged.

Are you being serious here?WeAAsles said:
No, it makes the most sense to scrap the alliance, and then let each group decide for themselves which union will best meet their needs.737823 said:
Actually, I can remember getting called all kinds of things early on. Same with IAM stickers in urinals, etc. Most of those people were long gone by '05, though...737823 said:
P.S. Still not a fan of Roach...
You realize 700 has been a vocal proponent of the alliance since day one, I thought your position was to stand with him at all times. Glad to see you are taking an objective look at this. It seems the IAM is very enthused about this, TWU much less so. Could it be that the TWU gave away assuming all the dues payers with no representational election and no fight? What was in it for the TWU to agree to this? Why did the IAM walk away in 2001 but this time around they are sticking around? Could it be that in '01 the IAM was in a much stronger position to shoulder the loss of a few thousands dues payers? I guess you forgot the IAM was the union at TWA-they represented everyone except the pilots.Kev3188 said:

Do I stand with 700? You bet. Do we disagree on this? Yes.
This alliance has left a bad taste w/me since day one.

Agreed. I stand on the side of labor, even though I disagree with a lot of the industrial union mouthpieces.Kev3188 said:
