Hey amfainmia, learn to read and comprehend. There is NO mandatory overtime in the mechanic and related CBA, which includes stock clerks at US. You cant be disciplined for refusing to work OT. And wtf is your problem? One's classification has nothing to do with someone's education, knowledge, or skill level. So get off your elitist high horse. I guess you conveniently forget that Kevin McCormick was not an aircraft mechanic nor even worked in the airline industry, he was a real estate manager, yet I never see you whine and complain about that, he even signed the NW M&R CBA for AMFA. How does it feel to be a hypocrite.

If you read what I said it was about what is here at AA which you know nothing about.
You have never worked for the TWU or at AA but you want to tell us what is best for us.
How what we want to do is wrong, where do you get off. What does the IAM or TWU fear if we the mechanics leave? the DUES. If we are elitist as you say then why can't you and others with like minds just let us go and fall on our face so when we fail you can say we told you so.
That is what I am trying to change here at AA the removal of the stock clerks and ramp from the same union the mechanics are in. I never said anything about your education or skill did I? You hate the idea that mechanics want to independant from your class and craft. Why do you still harp on AMFA if we want to go there we don't need your permission or approval. I would support you and your union against the company I just want you out of my class and craft. It's not which group at USAirway's M&R its class and craft as defined by the NMB at AA.
You LOVE the IAM and what it stands for that is good for you but your rhetoric here on an AA site/thread seems it's falling on deaf ears. Just like O/S and others. The Industrial unions had their time it's time for a change. YOUR IAM and the TWU have failed the mechanics and we want out.
If we go our own way and fail you can LAUGH at us all you want. Just don't preach your bs here about how great the IAM is and what they are doing because from what I see they have failed the mechanics at US as well. OR they would not of filled out cards to rid US of the iAM. Pension and much more at US during your BK.
The only reason the IAM is still there because the thought of the IBT getting its hands on your IAM pension scared most people. FACT..... What is your Almighty IAM doing nothing US Mgmt is playing you, your just too blind to see it. NO Matter what the Dist. Lodge Pres tells you, you just fall in line like good little sheep.
I am Hoping that the US mechanics join us here at AA to remove both the IAM/TWU.
AMFA at the NEW AA, since US will be gone, so bye bye to your paint, your name and with the grace of GOD YOUR IAM >>>>>>>>and MY TWU.
Vote "NO" and send this IAM/TWU alliance to it's grave.
