The leverage, IMO... going forward, is with the filing of SCS. This filing can only be done by the union. Until SCS is declared the company cannot integrate seniority or work forces. Thus denying the company the ability to fully realize the "synergies" promised to Wall Street and the shareholders of both companies as a result of this merger. IMO...The company needs the SCS filing! The company wants the SCS filing! The TWU and the IAM have agreed to co-represent. Subsequently, the co representation will be called "the Association". The Association, by letter of agreement, will be presided, for the first two years, by the President of the IAM. The IAM has taken an official stance that there will be contracts first for US M&R and Fleet Service before filing for SCS and eventual Transition Ageement negotiations. To the International, the respective Districts, NCs and most importantly the membership it's time to dig in and fight. LOCK and LOAD!
