IAM Talking Tough at USAirway

[usfliboi]

Good ole worthless union politics...gotta luv it...Everyone has got a hand out ..

 

[AMFAinMIAMI]

The IAM Ramp had the language in their CBA to perform ancillary duties, fact.
 
And you didnt answer what I asked, does the TWU CBA have language to prevent struck work being performed.
 
And we went on strike in 1992, and only a handful of people scabbed, a few stock clerks, one avionics guy, a couple of utility and mostly GSE mechanics.
 
Did you fix planes when AA's FAs went on strike?
 
And the Trump Shuttle AMTs performed struck work when we went on strike in 92.
 
We tried our scabs and they were fined, several of them did pay to become a member in good standing again.
 
And the others were treated accordingly.

 
 
As I told you what ever is in the CBA or NOT AA people will scab, Just my opinion.
They won't even do without over time for a week. When the TWU said don't support the lunch for the merger, one the chairman of the TWU cut the cake.
 
As long as its in the CBA its ok then to scab. What about unionism? So you support the actions of the scabs?
 
You talk about being a union guy but its all about the money (fines) ....were the trump guys Iam? 
 
No I was not at AA when the F/A struck, and I would not have crossed the line if it was set up. 
 
I don't believe the TWU has language regarding struck work, its a company UNION.

I never said I support scabs, I was on the trial committee and found them guilty.
 
I was on strike committee and helped run out struck in CLT in 92.

Trial committee? Wow! Did you you pull the declic on the guillotine to release the mouton?

 

[700UW]

Really?
 
At least I participated and did something about it, what do you suggest, nothing?
 
And the TWU crossed the picket line at US, didnt they do the same at NW?

Just as YOU always say "you didn't address the question.
 
You were on the trial committee and as long as they paid they were put back into good standing.
So that condones their actions.
 
And as long is it's in the CBA its ok to scab.????? just pay a fine and we will welcome you back to the dues paying group.
 
 
Like I said the TWU is a worthless union only out to make the Intl. officer rich. make deals with the company and
scam. That is why we want them gone. The IAM has let US push them around and now US makes deals with the TWU and slaps the IAM what is your Almighty IAM doing?  Nothing. The days of the fighting IAM is over.
 
The airlines on a whole are going to contract out what ever to help the share holders pocketbooks. Not the working man.
 
The AFL-CIO wants the TWU and IAM to form an alliance to keep money coming in just as well. Not for the working man.
 
If you were on the strike committe you would also know that a strike vote was taken. This is done by the membership.
The leaders of the union just don't do it. ? Correct? Then why do you talk about how AMFA failed because the strike at NWA.
The membership voted there as well. As well as at Eastern.
 
Since you are so good at research I seen it the other day but cant remember but the IAM has a scab list on one of its sites
tell us where that is and we can actually see how many scabbed at US.

 

[Real tired]

Yes, we are.

 
Ouch.  That's what we were afraid of.  You guys already working on our junk.
 
Some here have just started the CBT training for AA Contract Work, but I don't think anyone is online yet.  That I know of.
 
Are you doing just on-call?  Or Overnight's and Weekly Checks?

I was around too.  Remember what that picture is of?
 
Finding them guilty didn't stop Bill E. from retiring from MCO with full honors from the IAM and the company, now did it?
 
We never sanctioned one scab we ever had.  They were all treated with the utmost respect.

2444 (INT) and 1725 (CLT) tried all its scabs and imposed fines and loss of member in good standing.

About Six or so paid their fines.
 
I cant speak for MCO or any other station as scab trials are done and decided at each local.

So labor is more true to money than principle? Pay a fine and get your record clean? I thought once a scab always a scab. That is sickening and just shows the IAM has lost touch with labor principles and only cares about dues.

Not that easy, once a scab always a scab.

There were other penalties imposed.

Hey you can rip off Americans like JP Morgan, pay $20 billion in fines, and give the CEO a $20 million raise.

Glass house.

Yea but financial services folks don't cover themselves up as populists like labor officials. Not a glass house, if people want to scab that is there choice and pay a fine? Are you serious? You condone that? Business unionist.

[700UW]

Excuse me? Are you now in charge of the boards?

You are the king of off topic posts.

And last time I checked talking about a strike, and if people scab and what has happened in the past is relevant.

Want to make the rules, buy the boards.

 

[700UW]

Under the law the most you can do is try them, fine them and impose sanctions.

Dont let the facts get in your way.
