TWU and IAM representation alliance vote

[swamt]

The alliance must file within 30 days from last Friday, I believe everyone will hear something this week.
 
Also people might be surprised by how the NMB will rule.
 
Lots of high level discussions have been going on.

Ok I'll bite.  People might be surprised?  Pls explain.
Lots of high level discussions?  About what?

What do you mean by 'people might be surprised how the NMB will rule'?

You will see when and how the NMB rules.

The mere fact of you being wishy washy speaks volumes.  Tell the members what is coming.  Are you (IAM) scared?  Probably another "behind closed door" deals in the works.  Wasn't coming out like the unions wanted so they needed to change things at last moment.  Heads up guys, looks like another scam by industrial unions working with the NMB once again...

No back room deal, just how the NMB might rule, if it happens it does, if it doesnt it doesnt.

In other words, you're not going out on a limb and say how (we may be surprised) the NMB may rule.
So you said nothing....

Why don't you elaborate? If it's an attempt to block another union filing- just say so. I am a die hard union supporter, but even I would be hesitant to choose being represented by the same union(s) that would try to suppress my right of choice.

 

[Rogallo]

Just watch. The NMB will approve the alliance without a vote and therefore will block AMFA from filing again.
 
But I do hope I'm wrong!

 

[700UW]

Bingo

If so, that would speak volumes for the lack of integrity of either organization.

All they care about is dues.

But what will we do about it? Nothing!
 
We are weak and our own worst enemy.
 
The time to finally grow some nads may finally be here!

Do you think that the choice should be removed from the members, and deny them a vote? Or should this alliance still be something that must be voted on? I'm asking for your opinion. By these actions, the IAM and TWU must really be nervous that they will be ousted - either for another union or for no union. That doesn't speak very well for their representation.

there will be a vote and AMFA can be on the ballot as an intervenor but the clock is ticking.  It is time for all supporters of ridding this union to step up and help getting cards signed.

So 700, what do you say?
