It was in our company email Jan 18 and 19 th in Washington D.C. Tell me Swamt why is it every other group is done or a T/A and they don't show the same respect to our group? This is the same pattern for over the last 5 years.
Yea I think that's what he said, co. email or memo. Haven't been at work for a while and I don't read co. email when off. Nothing from the union yet? Why you ask? Because Herb is no longer here, that's why.
Most all of your information was "proven" wrong. As you can now see, as posted by Driver, it was in fact sent out by co. on co. email. If it is wrong information it will be on the co. then.
No weez, as much as you would just love for it to be true AMFA is not sucking. AMFA is simply doing what you are not used to in our industry, they are looking out for the membership's best interest. NOT the union's, company's, or asso., as in your case over yonder. I know you are not used to that type of representation but that's ok we do understand your dilemma over there.
Hey for once you are right. It has been 5 plus. We don't care wez, we will keep current contract for however long it takes us to not sell out the farm like your used to over there. We will hold what we got, it's better than what the company wants. We may not be in the top position as far as pay right now but we are doing just fine with where we are. We will see what happens at Jan nego's, not expecting anything as usual.
I figure this Swamt when the checks come closer on the Max, and the ETOPS comes into play they will need a deal!
stay strong, gets frustrating I know, but I made $136,000 , in 17 without killing myself.
I think the record without a raise was Northwest airlines, under bankruptcy with the IAM was 10 years without a raise. They kicked the IAM out, got AMFA in, got their raise, and then another gulf war, bankruptcy and the rest was history. Then everyone that crossed AMFA picket line, got their full seniority at the new Delta Airlines, what a kick in the teeth. That is why strikes do not work.
Well all I can say is either they produce something eventually or people will lose respect for the union, and want change, people will not wait forever. I respect Swampy position, it just will reach a point, when that comes is anyone guess.
That's why we can wait. Your correct. Remember the days when the company would wait it out, plus remove all overtime during contract time to pinch the guys that are in need of the money in order to get a yes vote on their low ball offers?I figure this Swamt when the checks come closer on the Max, and the ETOPS comes into play they will need a deal!
It's the companies turn to produce and/or move. AMFA's doing their part for the membership so far. It's not a matter of the union producing, it's a matter of how serious the company is about getting a deal done. Now, fortunate for them, they can afford easily the cost of a new contract and not even feel it with the "HUGE" tax breaks they will get in 2018, it should be a no brainer for them to settle in 2018. If not, then I would expect the investors to question why the company did not big time. Hands down this year would be the best year to clear it all up and move on.
