As yes we can see the connection between all three words; TWU = desperate idiot!

Thanks for adding that HSS.

Hopeful, Bob's comment was better, I even got a laugh out of it! By the way, if you had pulled your bottom lip over your head and swallowed as I had suggested you do the other day you may have a better perspective of what an anus is, since you should have passed through it on your way back....!

I posted the definiton of desperation. Nothing insulting to any one person. But I see you need to resort to insults. If you are calling me an idiot, then I'm not going to respond to you.

jl, the twu has the word concessions down pretty well too. And the only one that is super sizing anything is the twu with their concessions and level of socialism and unaccountability.

So why would you want to be associated with "desperate" people?

Gee, you just happened to have cut 'n pasted the definition? Hopeful, you are what Eric Hoffer would describe as a True Believer. On top of that you can't read between the lines. Which is why you seem to think that posting that definition had no meaning or application to anyone.

That's right. I cut and pasted the definition to describe the TWU. Can you say that calling someone or something desperate is the same as calling them an idiot?

I can't see why I am an idiot for posting the definition of "desperation"

And as far as desperation goes, the TWU through their phone calls to members' homes and through the US Postal Service, have shown they are not too confident about winning the election. Maybe had I mentioned why I posted the definition of "desperation" in relation to the TWU, I would have been spared the "idiot" label.

Dont sweat the name calling. It simply means that they have no other way of responding. They have no arguement or facts to defend why we should stay with the TWU.

Besides it just helps to degrade the TWU when they answer legitimate questions with insults and attacks, like we see on the "Question for the TWU" and the "Mechanics pay vs CPI" threads.

By next week the process to remove the TWU will have officially started. Hopefully by the Summer the Mechanics, industrywide will be that much stronger as we continue the process of consolidation into a mechanics union. Its the way it should be, it should have been done 50 years ago. Hopefully our coworkers will follow in our path and do the same with the AGW. This way the workers who brave the elements, work the weekends and the holidays will be the ones making the money instead of just the airlines and the crooked union officers who collect two paychecks as they sell us down the river.

There are far too many different unions in this industry, and none of them, whether affiliated or not, work in any meaningful capacity cooperatively. The only way for us to fix this is to start from the ground up. We have Amfa, which is already in place, the other workers have the opportunity to try and build a longshoremans type union with the AGW.

Bob, you're right about the name calling. What else would you expect from Flag staffed coffin bearers.
