I forgot that in addition to the above, the TWU allowed members with job security to be removed from the payroll and laid-off.

What? You AMFA guys have to be mistaken!
Our own "team twu" here at twu Local 567 in the first "team twu" flyer stated:
Tim Mcaninley; "The twu fights to protect our work with their political clout and the AFL-CIO. We need this to protect our overhaul bases."
Larry Pike; "Twu has more power because more people are involved. We have AFL-CIO backing. I think we have good representation in Washington."
Reason #1 why we're stickin' with our union
The twu is an AFL-CIO union.
But AMFA stands alone
I guess the AFL-CIO only helps when they feel like it.
THE twu IS OUT THE DOOR IN 04!!!!

Those who support the TWU because of the strength of the AFL-CIO, should take the time to become informed about the constitution of the AFL-CIO.
Article II: Objects and Principles
The objects and principles of this Federation are:
1. To aid workers in securing improved wages, hours and working conditions with due regard for the autonomy, integrity and jurisdiction of affiliated unions.
Then there are those who do not back the AFL-CIO politically. They are hypocrites in that they finance the AFL-CIO through their dues and then vote in the opposite of the socialistic plank that the AFL-CIO provides. I do not have a problem with the way anyone exercises their right to vote, but if you stand for a certain set of morals, you should not finance the opposition.
