The 9 who are right and the one who's wrong

[NYer]

You claim that 9 locals do not support a release and only one does. Thats not correct. Seven Locals voted to be released. So its not only one rogue President, I've recieved support.

Who were the seven?

Basically we are pretty much where we were in April of 2010. The items that put money in your pocket are still open.

LOA's that have been in place for decades remained in place, there wasnt much debate over them.

You also claim that real mediated negotiations began on 5/10/11, well what was the period from January 2009 till the present? What is the point in talking if the company is simply going to move further away because without a release there isnt any reason why they should move closer to us. The NMB said that they saw no need to schedule further talks, so what does the law say the next step is when the NMB walks away?

The pilots got their conciliatory administration in place and what has that done for them? They too are still without a contract. 111 pilots retired last week because of rumors of threats the company is throwing across the table at them. If we do by chance get released at least we would be able to switch from collective begging to collective bargaining. Maybe you think that getting one Article TA'd per month is acceptable, where in most cases the company got what they wanted, but I dont.

If they won't even tell us where they're meeting, you think they'll tell what they discussed?
