Union Members Have Leverage

[unit4clt]

Contrary to what many believe, union members will have leverage when the time comes to use it. Union leadership should be informing their members about the procedures during bankruptcy. Nothing has been put out to IAM members regarding what can happen should the judge impose the company's proposal. Most members dont know they have leverage to seek self-help. It is embarassing to go to work day in-day out only to hear complaints about no information being put out to members. The Unions should be honest in their education efforts so as to ensure solidarity when the time comes.

Management has declared war on the workers. The workers should be well prepared. It is the Unions responsibility to prepare its members.

Union members have leverage or is it union members are leveraged?

To: Monopoly Man.

Violating all labor group contracts, denying legitimate FMLA issues, Management not taking same cuts as the rank and file, CEO not taking any cuts and stealing from the employees what they could not negotiate.

I call that war.

I agree 100%.

The AFA MEC President put out an E-line regarding "strike"; not "self-help" efforts incase of abrogation.

NO EDUCATION ON THIS FROM AFA. And the minute an LEC President mentions "self help", the MEC President runs to AFA International for words to put out to squash any idea of the concept of "self help".

Whether any group may use this in an abrogation ruling or not...MEMBERS MUST BE EDUCATED ON SELF-HELP ACTIONS, THE UPSIDE AND DOWN SIDE.

Yeah, Real world, you also said every work group at US recieved a raise this year. I believe most workers would agree with me.

Pitbull,

I applaud the PIT MEC President's efforts to inform her members. What I don't
understand is the AfA's attempts to downplay any education efforts, as to the leverage workers have. The judge needs to know should he impose the company demands, serious consequences await!

You're right. The real drama hasn't even started.

 

[Hope777]

Real World.....YOU ARE SO RIGHT !!!!

NOT, ALL STATIONS MAILINE EXPRESS DOWN TO $12 AND CHANGE AN HOUR.
EXCEPT FOR A FEW STATIONS. JUST WAIT, PAYBACKS ARE A ITCH.

Yeah, that'll have him real nervous.

I have a question, if anybody can answer it.

Judge Mitchell has granted 21% emergency relief until Feb 15, OR until the unions and company can agree on a long term contract. If the company should file for permanent relief on Nov 15, which takes precedence? The original ruling until Feb 15, or can Judge Mitchell abrogate the contracts before that date?

i don't know what turnip truck you fell off of but just today your union took the first step in getting to what you describe ....you know they got the damned 141 proposal monday and the 142 tuesday...so what the hell do expect??
and you are right , you can exercise your leverage with a no vote.... so eat it and savor the sweet taste.........
i see quite obviously that you do not subscribe either to the 141 or 142 website e-mail update line that is available to those who wish to stay informed for the small price of submitting your e-mail address...
if you did you would not be posting here your queries...rather then you would be posting up to the minute fact you got on your computer.
i got my update at 08:34 pm eastern...hows about you??
