United States presidents issue "executive orders" to help officers and agencies of the executive branch manage the operations within the federal government itself. Executive orders have the full force of law when they take authority from a legislative power which grants its power directly to the Executive by the Constitution, or are made pursuant to Acts of Congress that explicitly delegate to the President some degree of discretionary power (delegated legislation).[1] Like both legislative statutes and regulations promulgated by government agencies, executive orders are subject to judicial review, and may be struck down if deemed by the courts to be unsupported by statute or the Constitution. Major policy initiatives require approval by the legislative branch, but executive orders have significant influence over the internal affairs of government, deciding how and to what degree legislation will be enforced, dealing with emergencies, waging 72-hour length strikes on enemies, and in general fine-tuning policy choices in the implementation of broad statutes.

The TWU International is governed by the last TWU constitution amended in 2009.
The International Pres. does not have the power to invoke a executive order.

My #1 reason in a nutshell:

UNION MEMBERS -- 2014


In 2014, the union membership rate--the percent of wage and salary workers who were
members of unions--was 11.1 percent, down 0.2 percentage point from 2013, the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The number of wage and salary workers
belonging to unions, at 14.6 million, was little different from 2013. In 1983, the
first year for which comparable union data are available, the union membership rate
was 20.1 percent, and there were 17.7 million union workers.

In 2014, 7.2 million employees in the public sector belonged to a union, compared with
7.4 million workers in the private sector. The union membership rate for public-sector
workers (35.7 percent) was substantially higher than the rate for private-sector workers
(6.6 percent). Within the public sector, the union membership rate was highest for local
government (41.9 percent), which includes employees in heavily unionized occupations, such
as teachers, police officers, and firefighters. In the private sector, industries with
high unionization rates included utilities (22.3 percent), transportation and warehousing
(19.6 percent), telecommunications (14.8 percent), and construction (13.9 percent). Low
unionization rates occurred in agriculture and related industries (1.1 percent), finance
(1.3 percent), professional and technical services (1.4 percent), and food services and
drinking places (1.4 percent).

Yea much better idea for Unions to fight against each other right? REAL SMART!!!!! :huh:

Unions in the private sector have been in decline for decades. And selling the ideology that you must work for a union, and unite to save jobs, is the cool-aide unions have been serving for a long time. Like dogs returning to eat its own vomit, we return because we all need a job. 
 
As a side note I only VOTE for what is good for me, not the collective as a whole. I will get mine and let those behind me fend for themselves.

That is illegal under the RLA.

American Airlines (AAL) Stock Is Up After Revising Fuel Cost Outlook
 
The company also lowered its pretax margin forecast to between 17% to 19% for the period, down from their prior estimate of between 18% to 20%.
However, Cowen analysts don't think higher fuel costs are bad news for American.
The firm thinks the costs are already "baked into" the stock after its shares under-performed competitors during the first four months of the year, according to Barron's.

I think Cowen analysts are far more reputable than you and I? Unless you really think that highly of yourself in your Lime Green safety vest in 115 degree summer heat?

Been there, still doing that. And this is what we all volunteered to do in exchange for a paycheck that has never been late going into my account.

Many posters on here act like they're being forced though instead.

Real men of genius. I have always said that one of the (many) problems with the twu is that its membership is filled with non union thinking people. Most of whom do not belong in a union.

Thats right, and you hit the nail on the head. The meaning of YOU-nion was a good thought in the 30's. But in this present day the presence of an organised labor force, is without a doubt impedes good companies from staying in the US. The US was the world leader in steel,

...and right or wrong Zom, a lot of that started when AA moved it's operation down South to Dallas (right to work state).
Born and raised in Texas, hired on at DFW, and I have my on views on unionism. But that facts are I work for a company that is heavily unionized and I was made aware of that when I hired in. I will say, from '83 to present, the unionism has deteriorated. I will also state that imo, not all blame lies at the feet of the membership. Union leadership, sub par contracts, lack of transparency and BK laws that are written for and benefit Corporations also have played a huge role in membership dissatisfaction and the lack of strong union participation. It's much more than three or four people yelling screw the unions.

Yeah, if only we could get rid of the greedy middle class and bring back the shantytowns America could really compete. With guys like you it's no wonder we are in the shape we're in. You should have worked for Delta Bob.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying here but how can a union get anything for it's members when most of them side with management? The greatest trick the super rich ever pulled off in this country is convincing working people that they are the problem. (although fooling Bob@las probably wasn't that hard)

I will respond, but first, do you work for AA, if so what title groupe.
