Exactly, union leaders cared more about their money than ensuring their members are treated fairly. Didn't the IAM call off legal secondary strikes at EAL so they could keep their Jet?
Really? That's not what the EAL guys have told me. They were very upset when the Union backed off setting up pickets at Railroads in the Northeast.

Bob that is because UNIONS have become nothing more than a political funding machine. They no longer represent the people that support them. Want to know the real reason UNIONS do not strike? Look no further than the bought off UNION leaders.
It also shows how unnecessary the UNION (specifically the TWU) has become. I come from a shop where a lot of good people lost their jobs while the local UNION bosses that belonged to that shop (Sam Cirri and Debbie Tiller) remained employed and comfortable. That reeks of under the table deal cutting.
The real crime is that the membership keeps putting up with the TWU.

I am no longer employed by American Airlines. Though I hope you follow the above advice yourself and encourage others to do so as well.

That might be pushing it. I figure he will vote for himself and Tiller will vote for him then....................... Ok. Maybe three people mark the wrong spot on their ballot. haha

Better check again, I think he is running for EBoard not President.
In Tulsa that may be enough to win.

Considering its a low percentage that usually votes, you may be right...
