JCBA Negotiations and updates for AA Fleet

[Tim Nelson]

Well Tim you just got your response on the Gruber issue. Apparently you “may” not know what the hell you’re talking about?

Lie, cheat, steal, whatever it takes huh Tim.

“JUST PLAIN WRONG: The opposition is resorting to spreading false rumors to disparage our union. They say a member of the IAM Leadership Team is ineligible to run for office. This claim is COMPLETELY FALSE.

Everyone on the IAM Leadership Team is eligible to serve our union. Both the IAM Constitution and DOL regulations rules make it crystal clear. From DOL regulations: "Nor may it establish a general compulsory retirement age or comparable age restriction on candidacy since this would be inconsistent with the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967." -- 29 C.F.R. Section 452.46

Don't fall for their lies--every vote for the IAM Leadership will count.”

yea so the age requirement was reflected in the IAM constitution due to the Grand Lodge Pension requirements which they are suppose to follow. They know that, so they know they are in a jam.
Don't blame me but I hope they don't end up wasting a lot of money by breaching the Grand Lodge pension plan documents. And FWIW, I'm just the messenger on that stuff. Carry on!

Yes, giving one bum the boot, 8 more to go. You guys don't know because you don't listen. Sad. Besides Gruber had it coming since he signed that court order to pay the pension monies back. Good riddance! And you spurred our boy Jay on. He broke the election rules. I tried telling him but he didn't listen and you stoked his ego to continue the violations. Same thing I told Mr Baskett but he didn't listen and raised his fist on here. I was a nice fella but he just didn't listen. Sad actually. And you don't have any Local on the line but Jay has been compromising his Local's integrity. He knows better but just doesn't listen.

But you, I think the campaign is a bit more interesting with TWU members telling IAM members how to vote. I like you exactly what you are doing. Please do carry on! And I love Mr Beasely as well, Guide Dog Adam is stirring up Local 2003 and I think it is better for all since it brings more attention to this vote. So, both of you just carry on!

No one stoked my ego or spurred me on. I started this because you called us out as committee members and you continue to spread lies and use horrible language to describe members of this union. I'll wait to hear from the DOL to see if they thought I broke election rules. All you keep doing is "running to the teacher" when someone offends you or tries to call you out for lack of factual evidence. You try to silence them through the use of fear tactics and degredation. Until the DOL sends me a letter, calls me, stops by the house, or whatever it is you think they will do to me, expect me to keep trying to pry one little bit of truth or information about you or your ticket of "Challengers" that I can get. Keep expecting me to call you out on your fraudulent campaign and hatred for unions and the IAM in particular. You dont scare me, despite your best efforts.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...you DO NOT believe in democracy or any democratic ideals. Attempting to silence those who oppose you and anyone who disagrees with you is totalitarian and autocratic. Your ultimate goal, in my oppinion, is to destroy this Union and others like it, thereby being the greatest champion of corporate union busting of all time.

My local is small, but strong. If any of my members thought I was doing anything that could harm the local or our membership in any way, they would have contacted my by now and told me to stand down. As of today, I have not received any calls or had any conversations to that affect.

Oh, and Timmy, I'm not your "boy", "kiddo", or your "brother". Those who work against organized labor and the IAM in particular, do not have the right to call me brother.

Of course you’re just the messenger. We all know that it’s Ford and Harrison ultimately that is pulling all the strings. You’re just the puppet to their Master for whatever it is they ultimately promised you or convinced you of.

But hey you did catch that I heard one of the guys that’s running on your ticket is even older than the guy you went after bro. Be careful the Boomerang you throw don’t hit you in back of your head.

 

[PIEDMONT784]

Proclaiming oneself as a champion of 'Democracy' while simultaneously engaging in deceptive, vindictive, and self-serving agendas for over 25 years-- A behavior that has obviously been aimed at undermining the CBU... is SAD...

These are the attributes of a conservative talk show host!

 

[WeAAsles]

Tim not bad. $800 in 12 days. You’re almost beating out the $1000.00 Tax cut bonus.

 

[WeAAsles]

Tim I wanted to make a donation but you have a minimum of $5.00 attached? I thought that was a little much and was interested in making a donation of $.50 cents.

Maybe I can give it to you the next time you pass through MIA instead?

I'll bet that banker dude... what's his name Josh?- will be glad to engineer some creative financing for this effort.

May be he would top it out at 10k n a seat on the board n may be life time travel in first class

Anything could happen, the puppet-masters imagination is the limit!

This isn't a rehearsal, the IAM will die or get much smaller. We will give it our best shot to save it.

I find your questions always to be fair. Yea you stir the pot but I also am fine with a TWU guy going over there and expressing their support against me. Even if you call me a kook. From a TWU perspective, you will definitely have some concerns with me wanting to hold onto the IAM Health care. Kev also is a fair guy. I'm surprised you didn't show anyone our picture together?

WeAAsles you truly are a paragon of class.

 

[gulfcoast1]

Did they have the IAM election yet? I thought it was last week. It would be good if this thread could get back to negotiations. Speaking of that, they are talking this week yes?

They are waiting for the absentee ballots to come in now to see if Tim and his team got 25 Locals to nominate him to move on to a full election.

On Negotiations yes they are back in now for the next 2 weeks. Fingers crossed this could “finally” be done soon?

I am not “they” I am “me”

Are you capable of discerning the difference or has your paranoia finally reached critical mass?

BTW “Day Trader” have you calmed down a little on the Market yet? Do you understand what a correction is now?
