Support The Flight Attendants

Dont worry, his 4/10/01 probably will not get him there. He might make it to NY though, a few months of living in someones basement for $1200/month might give him a new perspective!

Another mind blowing weak attempt to cover up the truth.

Not enough nads to with-hold production, so the AFL-CIO will go hold hands and candles instead. And a desire for a frilly wardrobe as well.

What girlie men they are.

Yeah, that'll fix our problems, let's go have a gay and lesbian candle light vigil and shed tears in front of george W.

Sorry, I wont be their to help expose the weaker side of organized labor in 2004.

Early Labor Leaders are rolling in their graves at this one.

Whose paying for your trip? Don't lie, I will find out. :blink: :blink:

 

[Drippy Quill]

So it's a gay and lesbian affair is it? Stewart, just when I think you have reached an all time low you find a way to bury yourself deeper...not bad for a self-appointed VP of an AMFA local...great representation..where's my card to sign? What do you mean "withhold production", Dave? And what do you call nads? You lay claim the AFL-CIO is worthless in one post and then ask why they do not act in another, which is it ?

Why not just face the truth Dave? Why not admit you are not willing to give your time and D1 pass to support the brothers and sisters of another union, other than AMFA. You remind me of a little fat boy with a candy bar, unwilling to share. You want this and that, but, as expected, you are unwilling to support anyone that does not share your nearsighted goal. How does McTiernan put up with your idiotcy?

And AMFAMAN...I am on my own D1 pass...and if you can find out the rest..GO FISH!...actually..I would think the local will pay for some but have heard nothing yet.. You wanna donate to the Drippy Foundation?...HAHAHA!!!....See you there.....yeah right.

I dont think so.

Historically most drives for reform started off with simple public expressions such as this. Lets not forget that working people always sought a peaceful solution, the baseball bats only came out when it became clear that the other side was not hesitant to use violence in order to suppress the workers. While its not as forceful of a statement as carrying baseball bats its is certainly better than anything else that has been done so far. AMFA members who can should join in and show up displaying their AMFA gear at the vigil. I would be there myself if not for family obligations.

This vigil is not in place of a strike but rather a warning to all that they are not just talking, they will act.

Actually this is not an AFL-CIO thing, the APFA is participating also and they split off from the TWU thirty years ago. The TWU International has told us in the past not to support anything the APFA was involved in as they are not affiliated.

We can continue our drive for AMFA but also show all that need to know that we as a group are ready and willing to join the fight and support other workers in this industry. While we may be at each others throats at times we can a will join together to fight a common foe.

I do agree on one point, the first step back will have to be with a widespread work stoppage.

Candlelight vigils, work to rule, lobbying, begging and pleading will not work.

The airline industry could lose money forever as long as it can keep going to the employees. Lets face it, everyone that is connected with or dependant on the airlines is still raking in the money. The lessors are still collecting on their leases, the airports are still collecting their fees, the fuel companies are really raking it in not to mention all the other industries (Hotels, tourism etc) that are both directly or indirectly affected by the airlines. Many of these other benifactors of the airline industry dont have to worry that if they show a profit their employees will be demanding their share like we see in the airline industry.

We need to shut it all down, then all of that other airline industry created money flow will slow down to a trickle. Then we can really get this thing fixed. We need to send the message and show that we are needed and we will no longer subsidize the profits of others. All we are doing is now funneling monies that are rightfully ours into other peoples pockets.

We need a General Strike!

Well stated Bob and I agree 300%....Oh mylanta...what just happened?

 

[Hackman]

Well Dippy, you may agree, but your weak and worthless twu International leadership does not. They are hoping to be the last industrial union standing when the other carriers fail. (just one problem; AMFA) The twu won't fight, and its been proven over and over again. A sellout dues collection agency is all the twu is good at. How many times do you have to be told the twu gives a *hit about the AMT profession or you. Wake up....... :blink:

How many of you guys are getting letters from AMFA telling us we have to pay dues from 5 1/2 years ago. I hope you guys kept you pay stubs. If you haven't got a letter yet it's on the way. It's your word against there's....... Another notch it the old belt..Later and MERRRRRRRRRY CHRISTMAS.....As of right now we have no rights to vote attend union meetings etc.. AS AMFA SAYS HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW.

Thats odd because on another thread you state that no union leader should call for a strike because it would open the union up to "lidigation"(sic).

Do you know what a General Strike is and what that would entail? Or are you a typical TWU supporter who knows nothing other than repeating what the useless International tells you?

 

[Bob Owens]

To all you USAIR, UAL and SWA F/As that participate in tomorrows vigil ask the TWU rep. Bobby Gless- (by the way he is married) "coordinating the TWUs efforts" why he called the F/As "Brainless" for fighting back?

Actually Booby I do not know of a General Strike, but I bet you'll tell me all about it in 6,000 words or more. I believe you fully understand my statement reference the union leadership authorizing or promoting a strike withour going through the proper LEGAL sequences....

See you in DC?

Well now if you were a union man then I would not need to. Ask Bobby Gless tomorrow, maybe he learned all about it at the Meany.

I believe you fully understand my statement reference the union leadership authorizing or promoting a strike withour going through the proper LEGAL sequences....

Could you try that again, in English?

See you in DC?

Unfortunately I cant make this one. Prior committments.I'm sure some friends of mine from DC will be there, look them up.
