The question that keeps getting asked is why does it seem the TWU can get top pay for all work groups except AMTs? The deals being brought back to vote for these work groups is completely different than AMTs. Why are the AMTs the only group that must fund their own raises with give backs? Why did the stores offer get better after they voted their first one down and the AMT offer got worse? There is no negotiation going on and you know it. AA tells the TWU what their offer is and the TWU accepts it and pushes for a vote. There is a budget that AA sets aside for each work group. The budget for AMTs is obviously lower per capita than the other work groups. The TWU buys into this and that is why we are the lowest paid AMTs in the entire industry. The difference in pay between AMTs, stores and fleet is getting smaller and the difference in benefits is getting bigger. We are being punished by our own union. I blame Jim Little and his minions for this.

Yeah its time to get back to the business of letting the company run rough shod over the membership while hiding in the union hall and avoiding phone calls from the members who have been terminated and have no hope to get a hearing before 18 months goes by!!!! All of you should be ashamed of yourselves. Go tell these guys how hard their "union" is working for them. I personally know someone who was terminated months ago and can't get an answer as to when he can expect a hearing. But we did have teams of shop stewards going around trying to figure out why so many people were pissed off at the union. By the way....... Just what does "enough is enough" supposed to mean on the back of the tshirt? New rules are written every day by the someone in the white house and the TWU accepts them with no questions asked. Keep watching the place fall to pieces and see how our "union" has allowed AA to destroy our careers and tell me how great things are. In 2018 many of the kool aid drinkers will either be laid off or will be bumped to OSMs. Then we'll see how many of them are fans of the Totally Worthless Union. I will not support a union that doesn't support me.

I know where you should point blame for the last failure Informer. Seems amfa legal missed the mark, as well as the amfa loyalists such as yourself. You goofs again showed your ignorance....

Blame who for what? Actually AMFA was probably just spared the blame for the headcount decimation that is coming to AA. Now you can take the blame since you were on the VOTE YES corner.I know where you should point blame for the last failure Informer.

Excellent point. All the blame goes to the good ole TWU.

Mr. Informer, good ol' steel is still hoping for some kind of union appointment to take him off the floor. I can't think of any other reason he'd be supporting a group of batshit crazy parasites - his buddies in the Totally Worthless "Union".

One would think you would be spending some quality time with the great grand kids at a local park, or sitting on the patio with a cup of coffee enjoying the sunrise, or taking an evening stroll enjoying the golden years....
Finding you here gives rise to a sustained impairment, but who am I to judge....

That raise will not even pay for the increased out-of-pocket medical expenses that have already been implemented. You are either too stupid to grasp a budget, blind to the negatives, or just plain ignorant. Until you get an increase in pay that doesnt cost you double in concessions then their is no payraise fool.lmao....You can blame me on September 12, 2013 for that raise you will get because I stood proudly on the vote yes corner.
