He has your vote?
Ask the fleet and customer service agents what timmie caused to happen to them in 1992 when he filed short of cards when he started his first union.
It kept a the spirt alive
that if you truly know that you can make a change for the better
and you know deep down inside that if you keep that spirt alive
that someday on this earth that change will happen...
the time has come
Thank God and thank Tim.......
again....the time has come
7oous ......as much as you stamp your feet (typical iam mindset)
its Timeout for you
Said loud and Proud this is the best we could do and we strongly support these contracts. :down: They never once came back and said we are obligated to bring this back but we don't support it. Who do you think you are pulling the wool over? This group has seen the Double talk and the back room deals your union does. Safety Committees, Overtime Committees, Grievance Committees these are things that any union should have, so that is nothing special, and don't forget that they don't comprise those positions the employees that work the jobs do! Stopped blanket mandatory overtime?????? You have no idea of what you are talking about! I dealt with their blanket mandatory and while it is not as prevalent as it was it still goes on. They didn't slow that down! The employees said that is enough and became proactive in stopping that bull****! You are a complete Moron you are not worth debating because you are tainted. The problem is once you drink their Kool-Aid you become addicted and can't shake the fact you could loose their parties and golf outings. They frolic in the sun while we pay for it. Either you don't work on the ramp or you are a lackey either way you are out of touch just like the Union itself. Just remember when you loose 70,000 plus members eventually you have to question how you are doing things. They want to continue business as usual. I remember the very first concession they agreed to. It was even without a contract. They said since the mechanics don't have unlimited swaps you can't. We have continued to be the redhead step child to the mechanics. I told everyone when we were voting for a union the first time that the IAM was a bad deal because they would not make us a priority. That has never changed. I have always felt that in order to make a union successful you must be involved, but I feel much like my brothers that fought the Vietnam War. Most of them will tell you they felt like they were fighting the war with one arm tied behind their backs! Listen if you like the IAM Kool-Aid so much I'm quite sure we as a beat down group would be glad to give you all of our Kool-Aid they tried to force down our throats for 13 years! I strongly believe that the people understand that the IAM will stop at nothing to shut up guys like Tim and I, because we represent change! Leave Tim out of this stay on the topic!
