UA only has 6 year recall rights, not lifetime.

I have no idea where you got that but its wrong.

sUAL still has lifetime recall rights. That said the ibt in the latest CBA, did screw any current and future furloughees as both company and pay seniority now get adjusted for periods on furlough where previously they did not.

Don't worry, the ibt will fix that soon...

I saw where UAL Mechs pay 20% of costs on an annual basis no more than 7% increase for Medical. What are the costs that they are paying monthly? The IAM at least had fixed rates based on projections for the length of the contract at US. That same cost structure for UAL Mechs seemed to stay in place after AMFA and the latest IBT contract. Whatever changes the IBT tried to make were lined out. As well as a lousy attempt at a 1% bump in 401K contribution. UAL I think continues the AMFA negotiated 4-5% contribution.

According to all the news articles it's the teamsters who are still doing all the bullying. "WRITE-IN AMFA" if you guys want a true democratic and transparent union. Teamsters are far more worse than the IAM. Teamsters are still "married to the mob" for life, they cannot get out, and this is where a lot of the members dues monies will go forever. You just can't walk away from the mobs...

The IBT WORKS FOR YOU!
The IBT Has Been Fighting Outsourced Work Even as far back as AWA per-merger US AIR!

Tuesday, September 22nd, 1998

The Associated Press
AmWest,
mechanics
tentatively
make deal
• The airline agrees to move its maintenance contracts back to its in-house workers.
PHOENIX – America West Airlines has tentatively agreed to stop outsourcing its maintenance contracts in an effort to settle a 2 1/2-year labor dispute with its mechanics union.
The hiring of outside contractors has been a major obstacle in negotiations between the airline and the Teamsters Union, which represents 400 America West mechanics.
The agreement comes soon after the Federal Aviation Administration fined America West $5 million for maintenance lapses.
The tentative five-year contract includes a promise by America West CEO William Franke to stop outsourcing maintenance on dozens of the airline’s Boeing 737s and return the work to its own mechanics, Teamsters spokesman Patrick Lacefield said.
America West, the nation’s ninth-largest carrier, is withholding comment until mechanics vote on the pact, likely next month, spokeswoman Patty Nowack said.
Maintenance has been an issue at America West since the airline fired 375 mechanics in December 1995 and began contracting heavy aircraft maintenance to outside shops.
Among other things, the contract calls for a 34 percent pay increase over five years, with an average immediate wage increase of 14.4 percent, Lacefield said. The new contract would increase the average mechanic’s hourly wage from $17 to $20.
Union officials will discuss the proposal this weekend with mechanics in Phoenix and at the airline’s hubs in Las Vegas and Columbus, Ohio, Lacefield said.
Contract negotiations continue between America West and its 2,100 flight attendants, who have been without a contract since voting to unionize in 1994.

America West has the most flights out of Tucson – 12 daily – and carries the most passengers in and out of Tucson International Airport – 666,394 last year. All flights from here travel to Phoenix’s Sky Harbor, the airline’s main hub (shown here).

Weak. That's only the experience for two workers, ask the UA cargo workers who were outsourced with no fight, the ~60 stations that are subject to outsourcing in the T/A, or the TWA workers who lost their seniority under the IAM. Check with the Lockheed Martin or Caterpillar workers that were sold out in the last contract. Yep the IAM really is a great union that supports their members. Fighting machinists haha.

700 will come up with some lame excuse for failed support of those members and you can bet it will not be his beloved IAM's fault.

Yep, he'll say the topic is the IBT at US.

But of course it's okay to discuss AMFA, Alaska Airlines, Nothwest, IBT at United, UPS, etc.

He is the Overspeed of the IAM.
