Who is worse the TWU ATD or AMR management

[TIME FOR CHANGE]

The new pay raises are out for the TWU International. You will notice that Little Jimmy's secretary is pulling in over $150K now. As we were told to "Lower your expectations" they were cashing in with raise percentages that we have NEVER seen in our own checks. There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of thing. These hypocritical punks need to be thrown out on their collective A$$! The figures are below:

The 2011 dept of Labor’s required union disclosure is out on the T.W.U.

Paid in 2011 disclosure Percentage increase 2010
James Little $277,840.00 + 5.4%
Harry Lombardo $267,314.00 + 3.6%
Joseph Gordon $268,672.00 + 4.8%
LaTonya Gordon
daughter of the guy above $176,144.00 + 9.5%
Garry Drummond $198,451.00 + 8.4%
Frank McCann Jr
Son of Frank McCann $215,726.00 + 11.8%
John Conley $218,642.00 + 6.8%
Don Videtich $167,742.00 + 5.8%
Tim Gillespie $171,740.00 + 6.0%
Robert Gless $188,074.00 + 2.8%
Gordon Clark $218,642.00 + 6.9%
Marlene Borisuck
Typist/Secretary $151,380.00 + 6.2%

Needless to say they will "Fight like hell" to keep the dues payers head count up.

In all fairness those figures are not really what they were paid, what they were paid would be in column D. The figure cited includes expenses that they laid out and were reimbursed for like when we are sent away for training and lay out the money for the Hotel and meals then get reimbursed by the company. That money really isn't really earnings. Under DOL reporting requirements the union has to report all monies paid to individuals.

Still the figures do indicate that " hard times"certainly did not extend to our International reps, they did not have to experience "Shared Pain". Their pay was not cut or frozen which could be why they were in no rush to bring negotiations to a head.

There is no excuse for taking raises when you have given away the pay and benefits of your members. Maybe if our constitution was changed to where the international officers cannot make more than X% more than the people they represent. Also have the same benefits they negotiate for their members. I would love to see Little Jimmy have to settle for half pay when calling in sick. But that will not happen. Let's keep the head count high so our boys (and girls) in the international can enjoy their 6 figure salaries and retirement plans while our pay and retirement goes down the toilet. Makes you want to tear the union hall down.

That sounds like management explaining that performance bonus awards are not really income....LOL

No they say the bonuses arent bonuses becuse they negotiated them into their agreements and call them something other than bonuses. They dont deny that its income.

"In all fairness" WTF, those words and the TWU International do not belong together!! <_<

Like when you are sent away for training and ask the waitress for a pad of blkank reciepts eat PBJ in the hotel room and turn in an exspence report for a 60 dollar steak. I know how it works... :blink:

These guys are more out of touch than management. The most outlandish thing is they claim to be union men. I GOT MINE
