at what point do we give up on this joke of a negotiating committee? a YEAR now and we've made NO progress? when do we give up and do something? there's no excuse that we had a failed TA a year ago, and a year later we're no closer now than we were a year ago!! The TWU and the company are LOVING this, we're being made a mockery of everytime they get together as they cash in on us day after day with all their holidays, pay raises and bonus's in their pockets. Sign an AMP card and put some heat on the joke of a TWU that we call our union. They have theirs, there's no pressure to give us anything. this meeting every 4 weeks is a freaking joke, what do they do all week? there, i've vented. still wont help anything, some people are just dead set in 'staying the course'.

I feel your pain brother. Did we really expect anything else? This will go on indefinitly until, well I don`t know. Geez, I need a drink.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the twu international owns the contract, and they are the ones that ask for a release, and until that happens it's the monthly circle jerk tour cumming to a city near you. Tulsa, please wake up!

They only do so with the permission and blessing of those who refuse to fight. It's called the fat, dumb, and happy syndrome.

I can't wait to sign an AMP card when I get in, brotha. TULE is the hold up.
I'll ask Ken who the AMP contact is in TULE.
 
Ouch...major concession of weekend coverage with nothing in exchange. Bob Owens, how did this happen?

Maintenance Bases—employees, excluding Line Maintenance at Tulsa, and apply only
with reference to the assignment of employees to work schedules that include Saturday
and/or Sunday.

bid for jobs on a seniority basis.
(2) Employees scheduled on shifts that start during the last hour of Sunday
(continuing into Monday) are not to be counted as Sunday workers in the
application of these rules. Employees scheduled on shifts that start during the
last hour of Friday (continuing into Saturday) are to be counted as Saturday
workers for the purpose of the application of these rules only.
(3) An employee may bid by seniority within his work unit for a five-day work
schedule that includes both Saturday and Sunday or one that includes a
Saturday or a Sunday.

Saturday and Sunday work for employees totaling more than one-seventh of the

one-seventh of this same total number.

It is in the T/A'd articles on the neogiations website. It was T/A'd this week. Looks like a complete sellout for the DWH guys with 7 day coverage. I would like to know who voted to allow this to be T/A'd.

It is not MCI south per the seniority list anymore. It doesn't even look like the MCIer are the majority anymore. It is what it is, a sellout of those working at DWH today, and when they sell AFW, it will be a sellout of a bunch more of us. I am glad that I turned down my transfer over there.
