Are you advocating additional divide tactics? Is this your promotion of Solidarity? Divide and Conquer-Divide and Conquer- Divide and outsource is AMFA’s only function?
What a joke!!
CIO,
Take alook at this pal,
sol•i•dar•i•ty
Pronunciation: (sol"i-dar'i-tE), [key]
—n.,
—pl. -ties.
1. union or fellowship arising from
common responsibilities and interests, as between members of a group or between classes, peoples, etc.: to promote solidarity among union members.
2. community of feelings, purposes, etc.
3. community of responsibilities and interests.
You use the term SOLIDARITY with great pride, but the definition of SOLIDARITY lends itself to the division of union fellowship arising from
common responsibilities and interests.
The Federal Government of the United States has determined that the Mechanic and Related work group does share a "mutuality of interest", thus you cannot have true SOLIDARITY unless we join forces with workers that share our
common responsibilities and interests. Because with the TWU, we are united based on a "strength in numbers" concept, not the concept of craft or class. Read the english language definition of "solidarity" and tell us how it does NOT apply to what the AMFA offers?
You are so ate up with defending your position using slogans and union based terms that you forget to even understand and review the TRUE MEANING of what you say.
Tell us CIO, in spefically what way do you hold
common responsibilities and interests with a baggage handler, stock clerk, bus driver, or railroad worker? Because the Federal Governement has delcared otherwise. And when you enter economic negotiations with your employer, how do divide up that pie using your version of SOLIDARITY? This is not a flaming question CIO, I really do want to hear your position and understanding of the word "SOLIDARITY". Thanks
If you use the word solidarity loosely and do not understand the meaning of the word them simply say so, but if you are in disagreement with the facts presented above, then educate me please.
Of course, there is another common reference to the word SOLIDARITY, if you do a search engine internet query on "SOLIDARITY", you will find this.
IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN BY "SOLIDARITY" WHEN YOU USE THE WORD?
Solidarity
