Thanks to all who donated. The money raised came from the everyday workers who represent the craft and class of Maintenance and Related. I guess if this is a raid from the AMFA then I'm raiding myself!

Like we've said all along. AMFA hasn't the funds or resources to represent American Airlines Mechanics and Related. It takes funds. If they haven't within their coffers to offer up the funds to promote themselves with a simple sign, then how do you expect them to represent you when it counts?

LOL, typical industrial union mentality. Like we have said all along this isnt a raid its the membership removing a ball and chain from their ankles. A raid is when an industrial union spends hundereds of thousands to collect tens of millions in dues. Or when a union on the property will spend thousands to keep millions coming in. If AMFA was in this for the money they would be doing the same thing. I cant think of any other buisness where so little can be invested and the return be be so great. The twu is trying to convince the dues payers to keep sending those checks to them. Where do you think their funds come from? Does the twu have a money tree? If the twu is so great then why are they concerned with all of this?????????
AMFA doesnt have to promote themselves nor are they chasing our dues. If that were the case they would be acting like the the other 2 organizations that call themselves unions but are really in the buisness of hunting new sources of revenue or fighting like he11 to keep what they have coming in. Think about it.
AMFA is not in the buisness of begging for union dues.
Nice try dumb-ass. We have proven over and over that AMFA has plenty of money. What you constantly fail to realize is AMFA does not waste membership dues for the card drives like the teamsters, TWU and IAM do, as they will spend millions upon millions to get anyone to sign one of their cards. Move over dude, AMFA is coming in at AA in 2013.
Well said sir...

100% correct there Ken.....
Lets hope that this will show the Tulsa mechanics no matter which job they do that this is our time to rid AA of the TWU.
Although we have reached the minimum number plus in cards it is crutial that over the next 5 weeks we, that means every one that wants the TWU gone to get with our fellow workers and have them sign a card.
We all know AA and the TWU inflated the number of voters last time and we missed the vote by 27 cards.
If that happens again it will be last time there will be an AMFA drive here at AA.
The reason is when the merger happens we will have all the USAir guys and every one who has recall rights to USAir. Because the IAM has life time recall rights.
No way any union will be able to find and get any of those guys to sign cards.
This a very important fact every one needs to understand..
Pass this info along and help if your not already, getting guys whom you know involved.
This is the last chance we have to rid AA of the TWU.

Funny thing you posted here. When you say "we've" are you talking about the two other cowards who can not point out the twu's strengths (because there are none) and only attempt to denounce belonging to a craft, democratic union?
The other funny thing you write is that AMFA doesn't have the money or resources and in saying this you are implying that your twu does. Yet we at AA have the worse contract around! You are certainly challenged in the thinking and comprehending category.
Go AMFA!
C'mon HSS, I would think about two payroll cycles would catch up the AA AMFA coffers to a level that exceeded the TWUs. I mean, since AMFA doesn't have to waste money on International bloat like the TWU does. We are talking about $500,000.00 per pay cycle coming into the AA AMFA fund give or take - yes it won't take too long to surpass the TWU in that category.

You goofs have another wiener roast under your self funded banner provided by the funds of the faithful followers? I hope you didn't again allow amfa dave be interviewed by the local media, his last spiel before the camera was brilliant...
It went something like this.... We are here because we are divided, we need to be united but we are divided, we need to find a way to become united but being that we are divided is why we are here.
AMFA's finest at work for you....lmao
He didn't have anything intelligent to say because he knew he was represented by the best Union of them all. The one who went through bankruptcy with the best protections provided to their members by securing work in house, preserving a frozen pension and escaped it all with raises for their members in their pockets. That Union is the Transport Workers Union, AFL-CIO....
