lithuanian,

It is because of the work we do under the airline industry that we are under
the RLA Jurisdiction. There is no way to get away from that. That is the way
the Government wants it so that it is difficult for us to disrupt interstate
commerce.

There is a process though and the IAM hasn't even started it. If they would have been negotiating over the last two years, they would have been in position to get a release. The fact that the East side AGC's have refused to negotiate for the west means the process hasn't even been started beyond what the TWU started.

regards,

hey folks, this was the best week for the IBEW since the PHL signup was on fire. This week was a busy one for the IBEW as CLT passed 400 cards and is hot as fire. The CLT committee sez 600 cards isn't out of the question by this time next week. Since the IBEW meeting in CLT, it is now well informed and is now knowledgable about the IAM lies.

LAS has a steady flow of card signing and we anticipate the majority to have signed cards in LAS before long.

PHX is stalled due to total lies and misinformation. In fact, the lies and misinformation are so bad that we actually have to create a new web page just for PHX. Click here to visit the PHX web page.

Lets' be realistic, there are rules to follow. FactnotFiction63, read all the previous posts'
on this subject before you make a post already addressed and than think by putting the
whole statement in bold print somehow makes it more true. I'm suppose to cross the street
in the designated crossing lane, if not thats' jaywalking., true but is it valid.
If the card signing is no good, step up and sign a card to prove your point...thier available.
My guess is you won't. Everyone on this thread voiceing a ''the cards are no good statement'',
says that but I doubt they'll sign a card...........including your beloved IAM loyalists'. The IBEW
has secured plenty of cards and continue to do so on thier way to 60%-70% off the workforce
looking for a new represenitive.


Thanks

Welcome to the board......but please read the topic's threads. Your statement
has already been addressed and most people knew the letter was coming before it

went to local meeting and was informed that our IAM dues will be increased possibly doubled..

seems the GRAND LODGE is going broke.. either your dues will be calculated by 2 x your hourly rate each pay or 2 % your yearly pay less O.T

got these from lodge tres. . SO now that the IAM is doing SUCH a good job for you they feel they need to increase YOUR dues ...

So much for the GREAT IAM PENSION we have .. only 37% amount of people participate VS 63 % receiving... LOOKS a lot like SS.

Once again, dues are collected how your local lodge bylaws read and voted on by the membership.

The grand lodge and district lodges set their per capita tax yearly.

Once again, members do not contribute to the IAM Pension Plan, employer pay into to it.

All companies that participate pay into the plan, employees never make individual contributions.

Don't let the facts get in your way.

MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS PRICE – DUES
IAM dues are a reflection of your negotiated basic wage rate. These dues are established in accordance with the union constitution, by members of a Local Lodge.

Out of these monthly dues, about one-third is paid in per capita to the International, and from that amount, 20 per cent is deposited in the Strike Fund.

The remainder is retained by the Local Lodge for its own purposes which may include affiliation dues to the appropriate Provincial Federation of Labour and District Labour Council.

Affiliation dues to the Canadian Labour Congress are paid by the International Union on behalf of all Local Lodges in Canada. The per capita to the International goes to pay the salary expense
of the officers and staff and for general administrative purposes.

The IAM is unique among international unions because it pays 50 percent of all Business Representatives’ and General Chairs’ salaries. Twice a year the international union books are audited by certified public accountants and each lodge is provided a complete and
audited statement every six months showing how your dues dollar is spent.

Financial reports on receipts and disbursements are mailed to each Local each month.
District and Local Lodge books are audited semi-annually and the results reported at membership meetings.

Let me start by saying that our IAM Constitution dictates how to calculate the dues not the District. Also the way it is calculated is the same as it has been for several decades.

The Union dues are equal to two hours of the weighted average hourly earnings of all IAM members working plus the increase in the International per-capita tax. Earnings used to compute the weighted average hourly earnings are as follows:

· The regular hourly rate

· Average incentive earnings

· Cost-of-living increases

· All bonuses paid in addition to and/or wage increases (including lump sum and signing bonuses)

Earnings not used in computing the weighted average hourly earnings are as follows:

· Overtime pay

· Shift Premium pay

· Leadman pay

I don't know how else to get this across..........your dues' are going up !!
The AGC's and the VP's at large are getting wage increases'......did you vote for

going on. Please WAKE UP !!!!.....wake up before its' to late.......unless
