[The Shocker]

What I want to know are the names of those US AIRWAYS members who nominated Canale. Canale has sold his usairways members out and I think everyone should know who pimped off the members at each local. To be sure, I'm not sure if more than 3 or 4 USAIRWAYS workers nominated Canale. Who in BOS nominated this bum? Who in PVD? Who in JAX? Who in DFW? Who in ABQ? Who in PIT? Who in PHX? Who in LAS? We need to mark these people publically so everyone knows who pimped them out. Same with future nominations, is anyone in EWR, LGA, going to piss on the usairways workers and pimp them out?
OTOH, I believe Canale got United people to nominate him on the floor at all locals other than 8 I mentioned. Anyone who knows who kissed Canale's pinky and ratted out fleet service by nominating Boss Canale, let us know, our network of solidarity is putting an informational package together through email that will inform everyone which individuals are kissing the Canale pinky.

email me with the info here

Hi guys Im back. To answer all your questions - it all boils down to who the better man for the job is. If compare Delaney versus Canale, Canale is by far the better leader. He has negotiated the best contracts in the industry and has protected the most jobs during the industry's worst adversity.

Whoa Tim you must be spinning bad. That is exactly how the ND team conducts business and will run this union. Threats and intimidation. I have said it and will continue to say it. Canale conducts his business professionally and Delaney and the ND team with the help of their newly awarded Chairman Tim Nelson will use any means necessary to try and win this election. Thats not how a union member or leader should behave making comments such as this.

Everyone out there take a look and read delaneyrevealed just as that site has stated the ND team will try and intimidate anyone who knows Randy is the better man for the job. And just like Tim mentioned above about retaliating against union members for believing and acting how they want. Thats not Democracy Tim. That is just being a thug.

Delaney and his gang of goons will be exposed for who they really are during this election and this comment above is just the tip of the iceberg of how they would act.

Pathetic!

 

[JoeDirt]

Still waiting Golden.

 

[orioleman]

shocker,
just because Canoli takes you out to dinner and uses protection .. doesn't make him a professional .

You keep referring to the best contracts.. Once again I will ask what is your job function for US.. If you don't work for us that's fine its a free country

but be a big girl and just admit what you really do.. And please save the "I'm the one who's going to win Randy's election speech" for Randy.

cause that job will be gone soon enough as well.. just curious how much of the districts dues did you spend today on lunch and entertainment

as a member we have a right to know

 

[JoeDirt]

The floor is yours Shocker. Persuade us why we should keep Canale and his bunch of minions. Please do tell us how our lives are so much better under his misleadership. Nothing about the New Direction Slate or Tim. Just try to give us something positive that Canale has done for the membership. One thing and we will start there.

Shocker
We are still waiting for you to try and answer this challenge.

Ok, me bad, delaney isn't a leader, and Canale is the best. Puh leeassseee.

When are you going to post anything other than personal attacks? You asked to debate and I accepted your invitation, then you reduce your points to personal attacks. Can we all agree that I'm an #### and move beyond this? I agree with you that I'm a jerk, now can you please answer our questions to back up your claim about Canale? And realize this is a USAIRWAYS forum so please direct your response to the USAIRWAYS workers. I understand your opinion on Canale but please back it up with facts. Exactly how has he benefited the USAIRWAYS worker? What have the USAIRWAYS members 'experienced' under his misleadership?

Compare what he has done at USAIRWAYS and then United. Then compare how he has fared between what he has done for fleet, and what other Labor groups ended up with at USAIRWAYS. Therein lies the comparisons.

He did both bankrupt contracts and had two different messages and outcomes between UA and US. Also, he was the only chief negotiator to orchestrate screwing his own members with the 60 day rule, why did he fall so much shorter than the other chief negotiatiors on the USAIRWAYS property?
Why does he install fear and complain to the membership before he goes to negotiations and say our leverage isn't the same, when in fact it is now greater?

He's a company moutpiece, bottom line. THe members have had enough because they have seen with their own eyes how this guy operates. He is the company lapdog. There is no evidence to support Canale, so you and the delaneyrevealed site must resort to mudslinging and smear campaigns. FWIW: you might want to clean that site up because all you guys do is mudsling, call names, and even use 4 letter words so exactly why would anyone go to that site where the webmasters seem to be having a "Bit## Fit"?

The Teamsters contract was better than the iam disaster - yes the FS contract.

OK Golden I will go first.

I support the New Direction Slate 100% and will make every effort I can to promote their agenda.

See its not that hard. Where do YOU stand?

Watch it Joe, they might start feeling threatened when you ask them to spell out their support. Goldenone's support is plastered on the Canale team.
FWIW: Give me one member who will post their real name and pledge their support for Canale. I don't say this to threaten anyone but to engage in good honest debate. For anyone to see this as a threat is ridiculus and nonsensical. The Canale regime needs to stop hiding from behind the curtain as they call names.
To Canale, I challenge you to a debate here. What is there to hide? Grow some gonads and step up to the plate for once. I'll see you at the next Local Chairman's conference and we can address these issues then if you want but why not address them now?

[Henderfuzz]

Have you ever considered the fact that maybe the company negotiator for UA might have been more acomadating than the idiots that our team has to deal with at US.
You continue to say that Cannale is a company lap dog, well he may be. Im more inclined to think its the company stupid. You can only go as far as this company is willing to go.

 

[JoeDirt]

Yea I figured as much Tim but I just wanted Golden to actually post it on here. Some of their post are kind of confusing. One minute they are calling Canale "Cornhole" and the next they call the New Direction Slate the "No Direction Slate". That is why I made the enigma comment earlier. Same goes for Shocker. A honest debate would be very much welcome but alas I don't think it will happen.

 

[JoeDirt]

You really can't blame the company. After all their main purpose is to make money. The blame lies squarely in the lap of the IAM negotiators.

 

[roadtrip]

While Shocker* (see defination below) performs some sort of handjob for Canale trying to sell his platform for nominations Canale and his Canalites fly around the country Staying in hotels paid for at the expense my fellow workers Dues money.

Drink and eat at the expense of my fellow workers dues money and while all that they are avoiding other duly elected work to service the membership.

That seems unethical and damn illegal! That is why Canale is not a leader that is why his Canalites will lose in JUN

Meanwhile Canale who is so scared flys from one station to another flying even using his UAL B.O.D pass to attend union nominations to save his A$$.

The membership is watchin every move he makes and will remember that when they vote New Direction

The debate should be between Canale and Delaney. I would enjoy that.
