TWU and Teamsters are mirror images of each other.

[Anomaly]

Funny the ibters keep neglecting this fact.

They claimed they could do the same thing at UA, UA told them nope, see you at the amendable date.

The IBT is lying.

That is untrue. We scheduled dates with UAL well before the contractual amendable period. UA agreed to open early after the IBT won representation over amfa.

 

[Anomaly]

Actually read carefully. Yes. The ibt/teamsters failed to re-open contract at UAL, as they promiced and garenteed they would if brought in at UAL. The teamsters supporters, mainly Anomaly and Rice, have now, or should I say, have been slowly and ever slightly been changing their tunes from their original positions about the re-opening of the contracts. In the beginning it was, the company "MUST" re-open. And the teamsters were promicing and garenteeing to re-open if they win the election. Now it seems they are saying, with a letter from the ibt attorney, Joshua, that they read it as they can and have enough to "challenge" the law. What law would there be to challenge if it were as they have been saying all along. So now they want to challenge the law. Occording to the teamsters and supporters there is nothing to challenge.

This part not directed to you 700UW. Read the letter carefully guys. It says "newly certified". "Newly certified" is when a union wins representation election at a "non certified" employer. When a union is voted to represent at an employer that was previously not represented, then they are "newly certified" therfore the company is forced to nego a new contract in good faith. If the union that gets voted to represent at an employer that was already represented, hence; only a change of representation, they are not forced to nego. However; Any union, after winning an election to represent, at an employer who was previously represented, again is simply a change in representation. The union could submit a sec 6 re-opener but, the company has to agree to it, other wise contract nego's will have to wait until the amendable date arrives.

Now with Anomaly's scenario. You guys vote the teamsters in, they submit for sec 6 re-opener, company declines, teamsters file suit. The one thing the teamsters are good at is wasting money (dues payers money). They will postpone, postpone, and postpone in court. They will drag this out as long as they can to keep the dues comming in. Then when they lose they will come up with all kinds of reteric excuses of why they lost.
Again guys; "Newly certified" means first time certified. Diferent union taking over from a previous union is exactly that, a change in representation not "newly certified". E-mail the NMB with your questions, be professional and to the point, they will answer your questions. Better yet have the teamster attorney's do it certified mail, where they have to answer it as this is a huge disagreement and needs clarifacation.

So funny to now see the back peddling from the teamsters attorney and supporters that now, "we believe there is enough information to challenge the law." So now they want to challenge a law that is not as they have been saying it is, which I do believe is an admittion of being wrong. How much more do you guys need??

BTW; Seeham already knows it can't be done unless both union and company agree to re-open. And yes I would be willing to wager on it. Not going to happen...

If amfa wins representation, wouldn't they be the NEWLY CERTIFIED union?? I bet they will argue it that way.

How long have you been working for the company?

None found BECAUSE amfa DOES NOT have ANY MONEY to STEAL!

You are so focused on the money.

Can you give me any example over the last 20 years that money bought any success in any union?

You are crossing into the realm of hatred and blindness.

Your answer for corruption in the union you support, is to look at the finance's of AMFA?

I believe you would overlook murder, violence, corruption, organized crime, of the ibt as long as you can view some fault with AMFA, to justify your support of these serious issues that will serve you nothing but misery.

You are so focused on the money.

Can you give me any example over the last 20 years that money bought any success in any union?

You are crossing into the realm of hatred and blindness.

Your answer for corruption in the union you support, is to look at the finance's of AMFA?

I believe you would overlook murder, violence, corruption, organized crime, of the ibt as long as you can view some fault with AMFA, to justify your support of these serious issues that will serve you nothing but misery.

Man, I think you must be standing in front of a MIRROR.

Anyway, Got to have lots of money to effectively operate a UNION.

Just one example will do.

Because the TWU dues base is over $500,000.00 per month.
If we cannot run a Union on $6 Million per year then we could always match the IBT dues and raise them, so we could spend millions on lobbying and campaigns with zero results.

And you are a very fine example.

And you are a very fine example.

Huh? that one is over my head, come down to my level and explain that one.
I don't get it.

Don't check out with stupid one liners, defend your position or admit you have been defeated.

Do you actually think the ALLIED PILOTS could have received a temporary stay on the Term Sheets without expensive LEGAL Representation? Their own statement released after the ruling by Judge Lane listed SEVERAL Attorneys involved in the case. I contend that amfa does not have the money to hire an expensive legal team to represent its members in a prolonged C11 BATTLE in the Courts.

$6 Million dollars per year is the AA Mechanic and Related Dues Base.

And don't forget the important part.

AA is paying for ALL UNION's fees associated with C11 case. Did you forget that part?

It is as if you live in some world free from reality so you can believe and defend that which cannot be defended. But now you have dug your heels in so deep, you will never be able to accept the truth.
