TWU-IAM Finally Getting Ready for JCBA Negotiations

[FWAAA]

FWAAA, I agree with you 100% here.  Why did you direct this this towards me?

I didn't mean to "direct it toward you." Sorry about that. I agree with you.

I wanted to expand (and expound) on your point, and that was the damage that this "association" has caused the mechanics.

IIRC, the "association" didn't even file until around the time that the pilots got word from the NMB that for their purposes, AA and US were a single transportation system. The IAM+TWU must have been sitting on their thumbs from December, 2013 until August, 2014. That kind of incompetence means that here we are in March, 2015 and still no progress toward a combined CBA. Worthless bastards. As long as the dues keep coming in, there seems to be no rush to get to higher pay.

One from our own union would be great! Why dont you get on that and make me eat crow when the statement comes out. Double dog dare you!

 
If you want to eat crow, I won't be me serving it. You can get your full serving on your own, once the JCBA is ratified.

I have a feeling you will be choking on it !   A big three headed turkey sized crow.

As reported by the Dallas News this evening:
 
"A single operating certificate may not be far away for American Airlines."
 
"The Federal Aviation Administration may approve a single operating certificate for American and US Airways next month, AA president Scott Kirby said."
 
“We have completed eight of our nine phases, and we hope to get a single operating certificate in April,” Kirby said. “We are on the threshold of being done with getting to a single operating certificate. This will be a huge accomplishment and kudos to all the team that have worked so hard to get that done, and we’re almost there.”

A single operating certificate can come without a decision on the alliance. Something funny going on between the nmb, twu, iam, the association and the company.

Right..  God forbid, this unholy alliance comes to fruition.

Yesterday,(3-4-15) the National Mediation Board (NMB) requested additional information from the TWU/IAM Association relating to our request for a determination of Single Carrier Status (SCS). Specifically, the NMB asked for documentation related to both American Airlines and US Airways Simulator Technicians.

This request is evidence the NMB is actively engaged in processing the Association’s SCS determination filing, which is required before Alliance Mechanic and Related, Fleet Service and Stock Clerk members can start negotiating agreements that recognize all of the hard work and sacrifice they have made.

Your last statement is almost correct.

The NMB must necessarily procces the application and first determine "what" needs representation.

Then and only then will they determine the validity or non validity of the ass.

More stalling
The NMB is just as inept as the twu and the iam

Keep in mind that NAAP filed to represent the Simulator Techs at both AA and US. The application included Single Carrier. So it may have to do with that,,, or maybe both issues before them.

That posting is not my statement, it was released by the Association.

The same association that represents no one?

 

[swamt]

And as posted in your post it states, and I will quote, "relating to our request" as if it was your request as well.  If you would look back, as stated, it is worded as if you stated it.  No quotes, and nothing noted who said it or posted it. Just saying...

 

[CMH_GSE]

I stand corrected, the statement does include, however, your same wishful thinking that the Association will get a place on the ballot without any showing of interest.

Again, as far as I can tell, it will be the first time ever.
If there is a case where two unions agreed to an Association and petitioned the NMB WITHOUT FIRST balloting the membership on the forming of the Asssociation, I haven't found it.
Please feel free to post a link to all of those.

There isn't one to my knowledge...
