Talk about mis-information and hiding facts!
I notice Local 514 already deleted the archived e-mail I posted earlier where Jim Little admitted over 3000 members did not get to vote on the contract!
And don't think we didn't save our own archives of this data.
Yesterday you could read the truth...
This is all you get from their site today:

L I A R S, and I N F O R M A T I O N deletion.
I think that speaks wonders about the TWU and their industrial union ways.
ROFLMAO
Here is the post that triggered the deletion of information from the Local 514 e-mail Archives:
A question from many members to Jim Little 4-24-03
A question from many members to Jim Little 4-24-03
Q: I would like to know how come only now it is important to point out that 3000 or so members did not have a chance to vote and you people didn't bring this up earlier? Why is it so important to have a revote when nothing has really changed?
Did you know that backrupcy courts allow companies to give upper management retention bonuses? check it out! after this does not pass, we will have less and management will have more. I find it hard to believe that you are looking out for my interest any more then the company.
A: Your E-mail was forwarded to my office and since I have received a number of similar E-mails I thought you would like a response: The reason we only know recently that approximately 3000 member did not receive pin numbers was information compared to the AAA data base. I still have not received the breakdown of votes by station from AAA.
I can assure you that we are well aware of management compensation in bankruptcy. we only have to look at United and Mr. Tilton. I stated that in the last paragraph of my letter that bankruptcy should be avoided. However, we cannot sign an agreement that was perjured. The Company blatantly lied to every employee, and therefore a revote is in order. The whole world is watching and the credibility of our membership and labor is important. Since the APFA is re-voting what choice do we have? This about dignity and respect. The Company squeezed us in the end, and never gave us the opportunity to discuss duration, equity and then slammed us with the 1/2 sick days. Then on April first came out with the management concessions that in no way resembled shared equity. If that was not enough, after ratification we now find out about the bonuses. I ask you can we trust them. We are all fighting to keep our company and the membership out of bankruptcy. I wonder if AA's plan is not to strip our agreements and file for bankruptcy anyway. If that is the case we are better going in with the 2001 agreement. I have struggled with this question. Despite all of our efforts the company just slapped our members in the face AGAIN. I believe it is right to give our membership a chance to revote this agreement as a number of lives will be impacted no matter which way this goes.
Sincerely and fraternally,
Jim
