Mec President Resigns Early

[700UW]

Two people will be getting fired, and one removed from an LEC office I suspect.

Criminal charges should follow too.

Serious breach of ethics and privacy.

The FAs at US will now suffer even more, funny I never saw Flores at negotiations during the last round of concessions, so much for experience.

AFA has a JUDAS, and a Brutus in their mits.

Interesting. . .someone offers her a special deal that no other flight attendant gets. . .namely the gold travel pass for which she is not eligible. . .and people act likes she's a saint

as a union officer, she had an obligation to immediately reject that offer from the company last april when it was made to her. . .she should have also immediately notfied AFA Legal and International, and the Department of Labor.

instead, she did nothing. . .regardlesss of her intentions, that looks bad and it really stinks. . .makes one wonder if it had not become public, would she have taken this?

all those who want to praise her. . .go ahead. . .i'm glad she has resigned. . .but i fear her troubles are far from over because this whole stinking mess has already been brought to the attention of the DOL

Seems to me if the pass deal was her motivation, she would have accepted it ASAP and moved on.

Seems to me the palace was mighty interested to get rid of her to offer her this deal.

Seems to me they got what they wanted.

There's a bad moon a'risin'.

Teddy, it's better on the other side.

Wow! Unfrickin'believable! If I were an F/A at this company, especially those F/A's in PHL, CLT and DCA I would be worried as heck at just who is running the AFA show at US Airways. Clearly there is a huge conflict of interest in Council 70. When this is all said and done most flight attendants will look back and realize what they lost having Teddy represent them. Shame on the newly elected MEC President a pathetic individual.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

LOL...how many different alias are you going to come up with????

I think you better check your source again, the one in managment.  You are way off tract.  In fact, there is an investigation of the "source" (manager/VP) who went into an employees  personal HR file and devulge personal information to give to another employee.

I can tell you, Council 70 shill will have to give up their source, and I'm looking forward to a termination.

PITbull what does national AFA think of this? An LEC member getting a letter from a VP regarding confidential information of an employee? Should the council 70 rep resign for a major conflict of interest. PHL f/as need to kick her butt out. How can they do that PITbull? If you have any ideas do tell?

It doesn't matter the content of what was revealed. It is the reason behind it that bothers me. What kind of dirty politics is the PHL LEC VP trying to play? They have some sort of agenda that needs to be addressed.
AWA should be looking at us right now saying, "What the hell are we getting into"?
If there is to be a termination that Pitbull speaks of, the PHL LEC should be recalled along with the termination of the source of the information. We as a group should be ashamed of ourselves if we sit back and let this sort of thing happen in our ranks. I am not sure how to go about it, but recalls are in order. We DO NOT want people governing the f/a group that will screw their own to benefit themselves. Obviously, the PHL MEC is in bed with management to get them to divulge the mentioned "deal".

Does anyone know how to get ahold of Pat Friend at AFA International? This is NOT going to be swept under the rug.

I'd be more concerned if I were an AFA dues-paying member at US.

See, if Teddy gets postal, it'll involve lawyers. If it does, she can probably name US, the inidividual(s) at US who did the leaking, and any complicit members or officers of the AFA. The latter, of course, can be named as individuals.

Who better prey that the AFA covers the representation.

These fools have not only done CCY's work for them going into the upcoming negotiations, but have opened themselves to a large chunk of civil liability and potential HIPAA violations.

Lots of risk for a whole 4 months of a new MECP.

Generally speaking, before one goes after somebody else, they should probably make sure that doing so does not put them in an ugly spot. Oops.

I can almost see the folks in CLT and PHL starting to drool over the juicy worm that CCY put on the hook--I mean, that tasty little morsel is just hanging there, right? That hook is harmless, right?

Glass just won the bassmaster classic on the sucker LECPs and their minions.

And the funny thing is this: you know that many, many dues paying AFA members are getting displaced into PHL and CLT in big numbers......

I am not sure how to get directly to Pat Friend, but this could be a start.
We need to get the PHL LEC and US MEC PRES recalled.

I don't know, but they are surely investigating this to see if they can get to the source. I do know of a letter being drawn up by many f/as on why there was a breach of personal information and does this mean that their personal files with personal information be vulnerable as well.

What I don't quite understand is how anyone can be elected in a base by 12% of the population. Shows major apathy on who was running which unfortunately changed the landscape of the MEC by such a huge base with a huge population that weighs heavy on the voting at the MEC level.

Much potential for abuse of power. Same with CLT in my opinion.

However, the CLT LEC has paraded around to everyone how he thought it was just not appropriate to have an MECP also be LECP, which Teddy was. The Constitution doesn't recommend this, but doesn't forbid it either.

Now that CLT LECP is the MECP the question is will he resign his LECP position and vote power and put his so called integrity where his mouth is? and when?

WE shall see. If I were a betting person, I would say, not anytime soon.

Pitbull,
How do we get the MEC PRES and PHL LEC recalled? A petition? Motion at a union meeting? How? It needs to be done now not later!

Well, its in the constitution. You can recall an LEC President by receiving 30% the signatures in a base to petition the International Sec/ Treas to call for a meeting for a recall, OR motiioning at the next union meeting for a recall to be on the agenda for another meeting to be called for the purpose of a recall vote by the members that want to attend that meeting.

I think she needs to contact John Hedblom and Corporate Security, heck I would contact the press and Lakefield, rain on the paint parade tomorrow.

Contact the EEOC also.

Thanks

Do any of you even know what is really going on here? The PHL VP had an obligation to bring this to the attention of AFA. The information was not dug up, rather it was dumped in her lap. She is a woman that has ran the PHL LEC for years defending Flight Attendants 24/7 while no one else was even at the helm. The PHL LEC President for the past 3 years was missing in action but the VP held it together the best she could. She has also been defending F/A's for 30 years and is a classy lady. The flight attendants owe her a whole HECK of a lot.
I think it's just that Teddy got a deal other line F/A's were not eligible for and what's good for the goose is good for the gander. As the MEC president your bound my certain moral and ethical practices and not to mention this deal looks REALLY bad. Why are you all bashing the person that came forward? Just so you know, from what I have learned Teddy was contacted within 1 hour of this information being leaked to ask Teddy when exactly she was going to tell AFA of this deal. It's not like anyone went behind her back.
I think Teddy is a good fighter and a strong F/A's advocate. It's a shame our MEC has descended into complete chaos. People, get the facts and know the players before you point blame and get your stones ready to throw.
