Again explain how local 567 has less then 650 members local 513 has 900 members, former local 565 has 900 members But is not economically feasable? So regional locals are not feasible ? Instead we get nothing and half a** effort.

It wasn't about finances, it was about getting rid of Peterson, Ruiz, Rojas, McCormick and me. We had plenty of money, the only local that was hurting was 564 and their finances were Bouncing back nicely after the members out there finally voted out Oryiano. Little, Gless and Videitich had that POS Donnelly cook up some phony numbers with phony assumptions to claim that we would go broke without the UBB. We already had a business plan in the works but we were never allowed to present it to the IAC. Instead they relied on Donnelly, the same guy who vetted the company's figures in 2003 for the union, the same guy who claimed that if we asked for the exact same thing back in 2010 with 5000 less employees would cost millions more than we got credit for in 2003, the same guy who costed out sick time as if every one of the 12 days we were asking for would be used by every employee every year and every hour would be covered with overtime, the same guy that sold the roll up adjustment scam that resulted in the company netting millions more in savings than we got credit for in 2003, the same guy who when his ridiculous assumption and figures were challenged in 2010 lowered his cost out by $250,000,000 or 25% and still the company never even challenged it, in other words they knew that even then it was an inflated figure because they released that figure to the press.
So the liquidation of the line locals was purely politically motivated, the objective was no different than the reason that the separate locals were formed in the first place. It wasn't for us, it was because certain people at the International felt it was their best interests to do so.

Gillespie is retired. They all will do nicely when they retire as well. Read the SPD, their pension from AA is not the same as other types of leave where you still earned pension credits at the rate you would have received had you remained on the job, their AA pension is at the rate reported by the union. They also get a pension from the TWU with 2.5 multiplier based on their best year.
Don has to go. Living under the deal he put in place should not be considered a punishment too severe, certainly not worth the absolute certainty that by doing so you alienate more than half the membership. Don should be proud to reap what he has sown.
But as you can clearly see. The TWU imposes conditions on us that they have no intention of taking on. Do you remember 2.5 in 95? Nice to see that something they could not get for us they took for themselves. The only thing that is a comfort is that in my old age I have learned what goes around comes around. Don will get his someday. The fickle finger of fate will come down on him like a ton of bricks. The man has made thousands of enemies. Everybody needs friends sometime in their life and Don has none. Enjoy your spoils. You will always be a lonely man.

Well now that your in charge I am looking forward to real leadership. Fix it. You are real good at complaining, let's see you right the ship. Tired of hearing your BS about how everyone else is screwed up. Step up and lay out your fix it proposal. I want to see it.
Are you talking about the TWU or the AMFA?
Which one is it this time that suits you?
And this is what you comprehended from Bob's post?? Really?? Why didn't you address the entire post?? Keep posting...
Step one, get rid of Videtich. Let him go to management where he belongs. Step 2 get rid of Oryiano, all he does is help the company reduce headcount and collect 10 extra hours a week from the company for doing so.
