Which party is the right political party? They're both the same. There is no difference between the two. Sure the unions all blow on the Democrats horn but what good did that do them when Billy Boy pushed through NAFTA? Yet they still blow that horn. Wonder why? Because they're both corrupt and dishonest just like most of the politicians in DC today.cavalier said:

PineyBob states: "My prediction is that win or lose the arbitration the IAM will end up cutting a deal of some kind."
Bob,
I have no doubt that you are right about this. I tend to think the IAM has just been giving lip service like they have always done. I just hope whatever happens people remember that if they approve a new contract that they themselves may be relocated or assigned to work in another department on another shift with worse days off. There are great odds that they will even have to move to another state and city. So just make sure it is worth it because when the circus comes to town to sell their painted pig they are going to make it all look like fun.

I absolutely agree with this one and actually agree more with the pubs except that being a working class stiff and living as long as I have I can see the pubs look after each other and most being wealthy this leaves me out of the picture being on the bottom of the pile.MrAeroMan said:
The pubs believe everyone should own a business and the dems want to take it away in taxes.
Piney believes the answer is his lib party.
For the people in Pittsburgh and tri-state area that listen to Jim Quinn, the Rush want to be be, he makes me sick. I can’t stand the guy remembering when he was shouting on the radio he was my leader when we were all teeny bobbers.
Point here: Lots of politicians play the game only as far as it benefits themselves and couldn’t care less about the masses, this includes ALL parties.
I personally believe the answer in not of this world.

demican's and republicrats whats the difference? its all about big corporate campaign contributions and taking care of themselves. was'nt it "slick willy" who stopped the AA pilot strike with a presidential order like one minute into the strike?MrAeroMan said:
yes and you and i will decide whether or not we close the stand...aerosmith said:I was told the other day by a high ranking union official that the IAM would be legally obliged to bring a package to the membership for a vote if presented by the company. Guess the stand is open. so much for Scotty Ford's tough talking letter. I hope they at least wait til the A/B issue is resolved.

The IAM is not planning what the concessions would be, that is the company's job.
What you all are misinterpreting is that during the airbus arbitration the company made a statement to the arbiter that if the IAM wins they (company) would like to sit down with the union and the arbiter to work out the settlement.
What people are repeating is a rumor on the floor that the monetary damages along with the $80 to $100 million in cost savings the IAM provided would be the only concessions needed.
