AMFA UNLIMITED OUTSOURCING
Northwest Invokes Right To Unlimited, Unrestricted
Subcontracting of Technician and Cleaner Work
Excerpt from the June 17, 2003 letter from Northwest Airlines to AMFA:
To the extent that any of these changes to our operations might place Northwest out of compliance with the subcontracting limits set forth in Article 2(F)3.a., please consider this letter the notice required by Article 2(F)3.c.1. In such case, the Company is invoking the exception language of Article 2(F)3.c. which provided that the subcontracting limits shall not apply in the event of non-compliance is caused by a circumstance over which the company has no control.
In addition, the Company is invoking the exception language of Article 22(A)4. (severance pay), Article11(A)2. (layoff notice), and article 11(E)6. and 11(F) (realignment notice) as a result of circumstances beyond the Company’s control.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Brodin
Sr. Vice President, Labor Relations
Just as we told you, AMFA’s “iron-clad†contract language has more holes than a block of Swiss Cheese. AMFA has allowed Northwest to farmout ALL Airframe, Engine and Component, Plant Maintenance, and Ground Operations Cleaner’s work.

Ok Wake-up and others. Many of you have heard me preach and predict. You know that I was right all along. Even some of the AMFA officers agree. After reading the article in the Pioneer Press today I think that there can be no doubt of the inability from these stooges. Remember after 9/11 and I tried to get the AMFA people involved in a variety of issues? Remember how they failed and even chastised me for suggesting they do? Well now they take shots at the credible people who did participate. If you don't know what I am talking about yet, get off your asses and find a copy of the St. Paul business section. Some AMFA officers are now saying that it is time to get a new union. They tell me that this organization cannot and will not take appropriate action. Although it is very late, there are some things that might be explored. If you boys and girls are serious about finding the proper representation you all know where to find me. Lets get us a real union now.
