Back in 1992 AMFA performed struck work at US Air in October when we went on strike, the Trump Shuttle mechanics at LGA, BOS and DCA worked on US Air mainline aircraft during our strike.
So AMFA isnt all high and mighty and AMFA scabbed against the IAM, unlike NW which was years later, and the NW IAM represented ESE only performed work that was all ready in their CBA.
So if a worker refused to perform duties in his/her CBA, what is the consequences?
And last time I checked TS AMFA represented mechanics werent working for US Air.
And why dont you ask the former Shuttle mechanics how AMFA abandoned them during the transition from working for Trump to US Air after US purchased the shuttle. The mechanics had to get their own lawyers and pay for it because AMFA left them high and dry.
So lets see all of you spin this, AMFA scabbed October of 1992 in LGA, BOS and DCA.
Thats the facts Jack!
While employed by Trump Shuttle, plaintiffs grew frustrated with IAM's representation. Consequently, in 1990 they voted out IAM as their labor union and voted instead to be represented by the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA). In 1992, as a result of Trump Shuttle's financial difficulties, a consortium of banks took control of the airline and renamed it Shuttle, Inc. (Shuttle). Almost immediately thereafter, Shuttle entered into an agreement with USAir by which USAir would manage Shuttle's operations. This agreement also provided USAir with an option to purchase Shuttle within five years.
In August 1992, the National Mediation Board (NMB) granted USAir "single carrier status" for the purposes of collective bargaining. As a result, AMFA ceased to represent plaintiffs, and IAM, which represented the USAir mechanics, resumed its position as plaintiffs' collective bargaining representative.
Shortly afterward, so-called "mainline" USAir mechanics — those employed by USAir rather than Shuttle — went on strike. Plaintiffs were unsure whether they should join the strike. On the one hand, their previous collective bargaining agreement, which appeared to remain in effect despite USAir's assumption of control of Shuttle, included a no-strike clause that could cause them to lose their jobs if they joined in a strike. On the other hand, they were now a part of the same local as their co-workers at USAir, and there was some suggestion that their previous collective bargaining agreement was extinguished, which would free them to join the mainline strike. In the end, they opted not to join in the strike.

The IAM took over from AMFA in August, AMFA didn't scab anything, the IAM scabbed itself.
Now lets see you spin that!
Thanks for that bit of info. BTW how many scabs crossed the picket line in 89?700UW said:See I just had a flash back about something I forgot about.

In a letter to the union, E. Allen Hemenway, vice president of labor relations for US Airways, said he believes the union has a campaign to slow down its maintenance work and refuse to accept overtime assignments.
"If mechanics and related employees collectively engage in the behavior encouraged by these campaigns, it will likely result in flight delays and/or cancellations impacting the traveling public during the upcoming travel holiday season," Hemenway said in the letter.
Union Vice President Sito Pantoja wrote back to Hemenway, denying that the union was behind any such tactics.
An injunction for what?737823 said:Won't take much to get an injunction. Besides you gleefully posted on here several international flights are taking delays...

Don't expect an answer.
IAM can do no wrong...![]()
And can an injunction turn a wrench? You think way to much of the power we give you.737823 said:Won't take much to get an injunction. Besides you gleefully posted on here several international flights are taking delays...

Real tired said:There's no overtime ban, especially here in PIT. There's plenty of guys willing to come in on their days off and race in the second they get the call to Get-R-Dun for time and a half.
What you saw was the company trying to publicly discredit us. Just another in a planned attack against us in an attempt to stall, and make us accept a JCBA before we get a section 6 CBA.
And let it be known that AMFA does not collect dues !....or do they? Or do they collect donations?AMFAinMIAMI said:

The IAM will never say that there is an Overtime ban, then they could be held responsible for the actions of the membership.
But the IAM is responsible for the actions of the membership when they roll over and give all what we the older mechanics fought and struck for in the past. I for one am hoping that you and all the others at USAirways will vote NOT to have this IAM/TWU alliance.
Lets send these industrial unions packing. It's all about dues and no matter what the unions leaders say, that IS A FACT.......
IT'S Not about the members.
