At least the APA is working to correct the disparity between what Parker says and what is happening. So.. Why isn't our great awesome uber powerful strength in numbers association saying anything?
 
I'll tell you why, because they're weak minded and lazy and have no interest in representing us, only taking our money.

It looks like we'll be horse whipped again? The company just STOLE the prefunding match from the FAS. We're next.

Remember, WeAAsles, no one is 'ABSCONDING" our prefunding match.

He didn't want to abscond with OUR money. He wanted to steal it.

He didn't know what the word "abscond" meant will be his next excuse.

Yeah the problem is he knows what "Abscond" means and denied he was trying to do it.  Basic thing is he lied right to your face.  He stole it or absconded it.  Either term applies.  Parker is a proven liar.  Now we all Know for sure.

So you are saying then, that Parker and the Association and or the two entities that comprise the Association are liars?

I am saying Parker lied about the prefunding match.  As far as the association and the two entities?  I think that was proven long ago.  I'll give you a hint.  "You will get to vote on the association."

Although the airline has given $3.5 billion in pay raises to several of its labor groups, including pilots, flight attendants and gate agents, Parker says bigger paychecks are not enough to motivate a workforce. However, Parker did not address profit-sharing which some employees, including flight attendants, have asked American to consider now that American made $7.6 billion in profits in 2015. Mechanics and ground workers have not yet received raises as they are currently in negotiations for a new joint contract.

Of course we don't trust management. We don't trust our "union" either. Both continually lie to us!!

I have an inside connection that assures me that the company intends to come to agreement with you no later than the beginning of the next Ice Age.

This is so sad but true.

Another week of blistering negotiations. They are knocking these articles out. Should be done around 2018.

FYI
 
"There" refers to a place.
Examples: There is a library in the first building. It is over there.
Hint: If you can use the word "here," you have it right!
 
"They're" is a contraction of "they are"
Example: They're not in this building.
Hint: "They" is a pronoun and "are" is the verb.
If you can substitute "We are" you have it right!
 
"Their" is the possessive pronoun.
Example: Their library is located on the next street.
Hint: If you can substitute "our" you have it right!

Thank you for grammar lesson.  I think it is a little more important to concentrate on the meaning of the message rather than its conveyance.
