Revisionist history?
 
Was Charlie Bryan or the IAM banned from the industry?
 
Nope.
 
Yet Frank Lorenzo was and still is banned from the airline industry, cant say that about anyone else.

And ALPA and the TWU also went on strike, not just the IAM.

We know, we know.........
 
Union good, company bad!
 
So let him.

Remember, you're posing questions to a guy who bragged about working all kinds of OT in his shop while fellow AMTs in his own station were being leveled.

Do you really think he has the foggiest idea what fairness (or solidarity) in the workplace means, let alone takes?

Keep making sh!t up Kev. No one in maint. was being laid off , when OT was going on.
 
BTW, how many of your ramp co-workers crossed the AMFA picket line, when the AMT's went on strike at NW?
 
People act in their own interests and don't hide behind this "solidarity" BS the unions keep pushing. Let's see Roach and Buffy show solidarity with their members in a tough time and give back part of their cushy executive council salaries and live off the same terms in their respective CBAs. They have both done plenty to assault the working class and facilitate the walmartization of once proud middle class airline careers yet you give them a pass.

josh  while that was the past    and while I cannot go into too much but from a station visit today from one of the AGCs  they and the 142 have  a pretty good solidarity in the event should there be a release both groups would be released together.  the IAM backed the company up to the wall.   So take your ANTI US crap and move it to DL and stay with them   Getting dam old hearing your anti US and anti IAM campaign crap
 
The IAM...............working for you themselves!
 

New Boeing workers file to decertify Machinists union....
(Shhhh..........it's the IAM they voted to decertify)
 
Dennis Murray of Summerville, a quality inspector at the facility, said he filed the petition for the decertification vote because he felt as though the union was poorly representing employees.
“I don’t like being stabbed in the back and having bluff and bluster rule the day,” Murray said.
 
At the time, Paul Gaudrault, who attended the meeting, told the Charleston Regional Business Journal that it was unfair that a dozen employees “basically laid the foundation and had the fate of 300 in their hands.” He was the only union member present who voted against the contract.

That contract, which delivered a meager annual raise of 1.5 percent plus a possible merit bonus up to 2 percent determined by managers, was ratified in a last-minute, barely publicized "emergency meeting" with only 13 people present.
 
The vote ends the IAM's role in Charleston almost two years after workers there voted to accept the union when it was run by 787 supplier Vought Aircraft. Boeing bought out Vought in July, terminating the IAM's contract and opening the door to the decertification vote.

If the IAM is so great, why would anyone want to vote them out?
 
Remember folks, it's a lot harder to vote a union out, than it is to vote one in!

Getting pretty old hearing 700's pro-IAM campaign crap too!
Then dont read it, and by the way you dont hear anything you see it with your eyes.
 
So tell us, Ole Grand Puba of the IAM, why would Boeing employees want to kick the IAM to the curb, after just 2 years? This ought to be good!

The organizing effort is certain to get pushback from Boeing and from South Carolina's governor, both of which are actively anti-union. In a videotaped interview earlier this year, Gov. Nikki Haley was clear about her stance.
 
“Unions are trying to get in wherever they can, they’re getting desperate, they keep trying to get in whenever they can,” she said. “ My job is to kick them out.”
