JCBA Negotiations and updates for AA Fleet

[psa8979]

I don’t really care what someone wants to label or call me as long as I can lift my head up in the morning.

Once a kid gets on board (And passes probation) he becomes my Union Brother. I may not like the kid personally but I’ll stand up for him and his contractual rights.

Prior to that (For me) there has to be some measure of balance. I’d have a hard time voting in a Ready Reserve system as an example. That one would make me feel just a little too slimy. But I’d be open to conversation on things.

This question doesn’t make sense. Maybe I’m not understanding it? Why would you take a pay cut to take over express? You might take less of a raise going forward to take over the Work, but never take a pay cut to take it over. You can always get excellent scope without taking over express Work.

We put those pay stubs on the flyers. They showed over $100,000 for some bos guys whose base wage was $17.88

So a very serious question here. Can both of you please explain why there are no IAM folks going to and/or supporting the info picketing? The mechanics thread says no IAM folks showed up at the NY picketing, why is that?? Why wouldn't the IAM support the other half of this asso. combined two unions??? No only does it show unprofessionalism but it also shows major division between the two groups within the same asso. so Why can't the IAM get on the same page at the TWU in their fight towards a JCBA???? I just don't get it.

Southwest AMFA Aircraft Mechanic who doesn’t work for AA but wishes he did, let’s see if you care for at least a little clarity here?

NO there has not been any “official” engagement besides a few letters of support from IAM.

But also remember and especially more so in the AMT ranks there are not as many IAM people compared to TWU. AND the cities that have been picketed are MAJOR LAA Hubs for the most part and again just do have more TWU people period.

To be fair though even if you seem to be a purveyor of fake news and painting everything as rosy in your house and terrible in ours (False narratives) I wish there had been more IAM in Times Square. TWU Home Base NYC though again let’s remind you.

BTW did you read the AA Mechanic on the other AA Mechanic thread who asked you to go back to your threads? I thought you respected them? I guess not.

I have a couple of personal stalkers rat. I’m just waiting for swamt to write:

“How do you like it Weez” again.

He may need personal psychiatric assistance?

 

[cltrat]

he doesn't have any cred hell they are 5 years and counting with no end in site.No doubt there are SW mx who voted AMFA who headed off to retirement or will shortly without ever seeing a contract

And he doesn’t even use paragraphs either. Conehead and him write these long rants without coming up for air.

You have to use paragraphs for people to want to read you swamt and conehead.

He can't help himself, he doesn't have to face the reality in his own backyard. I wish you guys luck.

I don’t hate at all on Coney. Even if he doesn’t like it we are all in the same Union and I support him and hope he gets better. But he does run off on rants that are full of wrong ideas and I’m just not interested in correcting him anymore since he can’t listen anyway.

Basically like just taking this one for example. Why he gets half pay on the first day. Explained too many times to count now and it’s ridiculous to death.

I don’t want to be the guy explaining the truth 1000 times. Let em sell their BS here I guess. They aren’t getting through to anyone anyway. (Tim either BTW)

Why didn’t you work to the final 77W to LAX yesterday?

[737823]

Tim,
It seems the IAM is increasingly delegating more duties and responsibilities to the Grand Lodge instead of the requisite district lodge. Why is Sito the IAM’s Representative on the UCH board and not Klemm? Sito has never worked for UA or under the UA agreement, in the past Canale, Delaney, etc were the IAM’s representative. Back when the IAM had a special class of TWA stock wasn’t Bill O’Driscoll of DL 142 (Kansas City) their Director? Just seems bizarre all of a sudden they’re going away from the district structure. As I’ve said before I’ve never understood why the IAM has a three tiered structure and not simply an international and local affiliates like most other unions.

Tim are these changes in response to the success of your efforts at 141 and the efforts of other districts like 751 to bring on new leadership and accountability?
