[MCI transplant]

<_< -------- Hey Bob! The man is right! Maybe a little prayer before you go into the next negotiations might help! (and I'm not trying to be cute here!)------- Never know! It might surprise you!------ Hell, from what I've seen so far from what's come out of those talks, it can't hurt none!!! 😉

Should here something this afternoon, the company had an answer to our proposal at 1:15 est. What's in the new proposal, I haven't a clue.

I'd wager the gist of their response isn't printable here ...

As expected, more of the same BS. No TA this month, no release from mediation - yada, yada. They will meet again in July, and go through the motions again, only to meet again in August. I would like to say it's a let down; however, it's more like it's expected. With the TWU representing us, there is no chance of a ratifiable TA.

Who is the Chairmen of our TWU M&R Committee?

Who is the Chairmen of our TWU M&R Committee?

There are two Co-chairs, Lary Pike who was chosen by the members of the table team and Don Videtich who was chosen by the International.

Needless to say it was a dissapointing week. The company offered nothing, nada, ZIP. We moved on the 7 day coverage and productivity improvements and all they did was take millions off their last offer. I figure if they are going to play with and spin the numbers I will as well. They removed a year from their proposal, now they are looking for a six year six percent contract, except its a lot worse than 1995.

The company claimed their last offer wasnt regressive from the TA because they added a year to it (a year we didnt want). By taking the year off they can no longer hide how regressive it was.

The company is very happy with the status quo.

We need to get released to level the playing field.

Bob having phatt Don as one of the co-chairs is like having a member of management on our neg committee. When you have twu international members like Bobby Gless making statements like the mechanics better lower there expectations and the company is going to file bankruptcy if oil keeps going up. These are the clowns that are appointed to the int and pading their pockets with our money and no telling who elses. Not to mention the fact that Don and others in the atd recieved new vehicles with our money. This would not be happening under AMP without membership approval. You have your work cut out for you. Keep your back to the wall you never know if it will be the international or the company trying to stick a knife in it.

Its also total bull #### that they cann't close any of these articles on there own i.e. close the holiday issue and move on. The company wants all the economics opened so they can just move the money back and forth. It also seems the company is working very hard to get this base 7 day coverage. 13 hour days right and talk about safety!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's almost like YOU all were anticipating some miracle negotiating period from our clowns. Breaking News........the TWU likes the status quo just as much as the company. When are you going to wake up people and realize that the TWU is stealing your money just like the company. Bob Owens said it was disappointing........really? Boy, it's almost if you're surprised, Bob.

WAKE UP People......the TWU is stealing your money just like the company. Unless people are prepared to burn down the union halls.......don't expect much in the near term. Just do your job!!!!!

Good Luck!
