The Hearing Board is comprised of three members of our peers. The Hearing Board found Ms. LeCarre and Mr. Albers guilty of violating Article X.1.(j):
j. Doing any act contrary to the best interests of the Union or its members.[/b]
"The board clearly found Ms. LeCarre and Mr. Albers guilty of theft, lying, and breaching the trust of the joint negotiations committee...""
hmmmm
Clearly you are incorrect. They were acquitted of those charges.
j. Appears to be a very broad subject. Anyone could be found in violation of anything.
Saying that they were found guilty of the other things is overreaching and wrong. If they had they would have been punished. Instead both sides. East and west were told to try and work it out and get along.
The charges that you attempt at attribute they were found NOT guilty of.
They are both still in their position. They were not removed. Try and think for a minute. If they had been found guilty of what you say. Why would the AFA leave them in place.
That is what Flores was hoping for. Remove any opposition to his power grab. Why did he keep information from the west president?
The panel consisted of AFA Officers from three other airlines. The charges before the Board were violations of:
Article X.1.(a) Acquitted
Article X.1.(d) Acquitted
Article X.1.(g) Acquitted
Article X.1.(i) Acquitted
Article X.1.(j) Upheld
Article X.1.(l) Acquitted
The Hearing Board regretted that this dispute was not resolved among the parties before coming to Washington, DC on June 24, 2009. After the Hearing Board heard testimony and evidence they found LeCarre/Albers in Violation of Article X.1.(j) and directed them to "refrain from any similar conduct in the future" and furthermore directed the parties to "make every reasonable effort to rebuild a mutual trust on the JNC and to continue to negotiate a single contract for the US Airways flight attendants." I have not been informed of any instances where this matter has impeded an already sluggish Merged Negotiation of 3 1/2 years. We all must work together for one common goal " a merged agreement to improve the quality of life for all US Airways flight attendants both East and West. In the future I am in hopes that any information afforded to any member of the JNC would be shared with all members of the JNC for the benefit of our membership. The JNC is comprised of two members from the East and two members from the West
