TWU screws us again

I see the TWU faithful wont respond hmmmmm chirp chirp

The rebid being discussed here was not done at the request of the Company; it was done in response to complaints from the membership that, after a surplus situation, people were holding preferred shifts out of seniority. Honoring seniority is a good thing- that is what we should always work for.

So can the membership request or complain to get their Holidays and Vacation back too now since the contract does not matter and negotiations continue?

 

[iluvaa]

Well the rebid is going to force me and my co workers off our shift by surplus mechanics coming to our dock, so by violating the contract we are being harmed what about us.

that is a false statement anyway Sam cerri and they can do that brother Hewitt said it was because of the RIF and the company was going to undermanned in certain areas on second shift, sounds like a personal problem to me STOP VIOLATING THE CONTRACT TO HELP THEM. If three month rotation isn't working for them so what it's what they wanted.

This string started with the claim that the TWU has given in to a management demand for a rebid. This isn’t true; the rebid occurred because the TWU demanded it in response to complaints and grievances that seniority was being violated. Both of us know that if the union had done nothing there would have been an equal number of people on this board complaining that the TWU had allowed management to circumvent seniority and all the normal critics would have been supporting that complaint.

What? Didn't the TWU allow management to circumvent seniority? Can any AMT on this board bid a Crew Chief slot at any other Station but there own on the first round it is posted? This union let this company have whatever they wanted and now there worried and fighting for it. What a bunch of Idiots, Like I've read here before, YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!!!


GO AMFA!!!

I was looking for the proper thread to post this information. It looks like I had no trouble finding it. I don't know If anyone has looked at article 37, section F of the M&R contract lately. The company added a new line with the latest screwing that they gave us. It now states that the special 2 weeks of severance pay for employees laid of for more than 4 months will only be paid once. So people in my case who got laid off in 2003 and received that payment are now not going to receive that money. Another instance of the TWU allowing the company to screw the employees at every turn...I had the seniority to stay with the company in a reduced position, but I chose to take the lay off and persue a better career with another non-aviation company who has a better union and complete benefits for my whole family 100% paid by the company. TWU....What a joke.....

RIFs are still done by seniority right? So if the shifts were "preferred" how did the guys who were Riff'd, ie low seniority,get them?

bob where can we find out what stations have guys on layoff, and where is the recall list to see where you are on it
