Not even a glimmer of hope Rogallo? AMFA and TWU walking together.
Not even a flicker. AMFA supporting us. Our own association partner not.
How and why did we let this chit happen to us? Just astonishing!
WeAA when will there be a picket at MIA? I will make sure to be there! Maybe Juan and Javier will be there too.

I told you AMFA would be there. Did you doubt me? Or are you just surprised and shocked how AMFA showed up and the IAM (the other half) did not? Sad indeed...
The IAM didn't even picket for their own standalone agreement with USAIR. There were reports in 2013 that they didn't get the proper permits at PHL (and maybe CLT?). The IAM apparently can't even get a simple picket right.

I agree 100%. Simply amazing...power in numbers my azz. Sito and boys have zero
respect from me. Go find Jim Little and f*off.
I ain't shocked or surprised at anything I see union wise anymore!
Great AMFA made it out. When the time comes I'll sign another card......if I ain't retired by then!!

Always has and always will be your call Rogallo. Anyway I was told that the TWU DFW Local told the AMFA guys if they need them just call and they'll be there to help.
Solidarity.

I know for a fact that TWU BOS President Tim Hughes went upstairs and joined his IAM Brothers in their quest to gain their Standalone contract on this date.
"IAM members were joined by Transport Workers Union (TWU) members who perform similar jobs at pre-merger American Airlines. Together they informed passengers about the dire and deteriorating state of labor relations at the airline.
“Doug Parker wants the flying public, shareholders, Wall Street and anyone else who will listen to believe that all is going well with the merger of US Airways and American Airlines. That is simply untrue,” said IAM District 141 President Rich Delaney.”
“The TWU and IAM are partners,” said TWU President Harry Lombardo. “We will not sit idly by as management tries to drive a wedge between workers.”

WeAAsles, you know I wish the IAM had joined in, but a special key person from the TWU informed me today that the TWU does not support our health care and is solely focused on Double time and holidays. Essentially, it's thinking bigtime small. Wanting LUS to take 2 steps back instead of both unions continuing the advance using the superior LUS agreement (That the TWU fought for in solidarity) to build upon into a leading industry contract BY FAR.
When I asked, why would the TWU be picketing if this was true? The answer was that Samuelson will be in a dogfight and that these pickets have nothing to do with American negotiations and everything to do with politics and the TWU International elections. I was shocked because the key person is someone that ALL TWU peeps know. He is going to give me more concrete information and documents as we move forward.
Do I believe him? Well, I don't know him. But he seemed sincere.
I do know, as of 2 days ago, the TWU leadership 100% didn't support our health care. I know that 100% fact.
See you guys in section 6 talks if you are letting your politics get in the way of our contract. I've told you WeAAsles that I don't mind you but I'll not let your union's politics screw over all TWU and IAM fleet peeps. You support LUS health care, Catering, etc., or game over and we recycle this thing into section 6 talks. It's your call.
