What has the AFL-CIO done for the Mechanic Craft and Class of the Airline Industry?

If labor cannot show cohesiveness in the primaries, where is the strentgh?

Free thinkers within the TWU?

Just what are labors interests?

Buck, it appears the AFL-CIO is about more than "labor interest"...

Gun Control And The AFL-CIO


The National Rifle Association of America is a single-issue organization that represents firearms owners and works to defend and protect their rights as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. In its 132-year history as the nation`s oldest civil rights organization, the NRA has never adopted any policy or practice regarding unions, organized labor, labor management or labor relations issues of any kind.

On the other hand, the American Federation of Labor & Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) have continually stepped outside the purview of labor relations and adopted decidedly anti-gun positions that infringe upon the rights of law-abiding firearms owners.

The national leadership of the AFL-CIO has supported restrictive "gun control" legislation for nearly a quarter of a century.

1971: The Executive Council of the AFL-CIO adopted a resolution stating, "the AFL-CIO strongly urges Congress to enact strong handgun control legislation."
1976: The AFL-CIO announced it`s support for legislation which would ban "weapons such as the so-called `Saturday Night Special` from the public domain."

1987: The AFL-CIO`s Executive Council issued a resolution in support of a national seven-day waiting period on the purchase of all handguns.

1989: The AFL-CIO came out strongly in support of the Brady Bill and its national waiting period on the purchase of handguns by law-abiding gun owners. AFL-CIO leadership also resolved to support U.S. Sen. Dennis DeConcini`s S.747, a bill to ban the importation, domestic manufacture and sale of certain semi-automatic firearms.

1994: Most recently, the AFL-CIO`s leadership supported the Clinton Crime Bill and its ban on certain semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns and large-capacity magazines.

PDaddyQuill:

Make all the fun you want about these issues. They are non labor issues, but are at the very soul of the members of TWU Local 514. Your push for issues that concern labor are fine, but not at the forefront of the issues this membership cares about. There may be a few industrial socialists left in Local 514.

Hey CIO, it would appear that stricter reporting regulations might have dissuaded TWU's own employee from embezzling thousands from the local's account (see below). You never did explain the "damage" that will result from the change. j7915, yes AMFA will and should be held to a higher standard of reporting as with all organizations that require payment in exchange for a service. Contrary to the TWU's belief, ACCOUNTABILITY is not a bad thing!!
