737 Max , you are wasting your time arguing with these guys, been saying the same thing for over 6 months. You will be labled a company shrill, whining cry baby, or not backing the union if you think they are wrong. Meanwhile we still wait for a contract.
Not here in internet fantasy land, everything is good, we have a pile of money coming, we can dictate to the company how they run their maintenance program.
Well, that's "YOUR" ALR. One person. The wonderful thing about AMFA is, your members can replace him. Back pay will be 100% in the hands of the membership. I assure you of this. We must stay united about the back pay like the pilots did. It will be a NO vote without 100% back pay restored by a bonus (co. title) and the snap up increase shall equal what we have been missing for the past 5.5 years. If our "membership" allows the company to get away without paying back pay, then the company will continue to do so for every single future contract AND they will again drag out nego's when it is in their favor with no punishment for doing so, so they will do it every time because this membership will allow it every single time.
Look, he is not blind, he is well informed about what is really going on and not believing the company updates and propaganda.
^^^I second this^^^
Pull the trigger. Get the process started. I encourage it. IF the majority agrees with you then we will get a new nego cmte. I will not sign. I fully support my nego cmte and they are elected to represent me at the table...
They already did that, if the pay and back pay is almost there, within, not that much difference, the rules aren't terrible then I am fine with that. Like I said if scope is so important, then I say this next meeting t/A if you can, leave economics out. Then as far as economics discuss that whenever that next meeting is. Our ALR is up for reelection next year, so I know the guys in BWI are tired of him, so we will put someone up , and people need to vote.
The negotiating committee was replaced once, our ALR Cramer ran unopposed, so he is up for reelection, so we have to find somebody which we have a couple willing to serve to run against him next year, and people,need to vote, if they complain and don't vote, or go to the meetings, then they have no right to complain.
I agree. Most people are too lazy to get involved and your right, they have no room to complain if they do not get more involved and vote. I have been told by numerous NC members from both sides that he IS the main problem at the table. BUT, with that said, I also am hearing he is looking out for the memberships best interest. I would expect the co. to say he is a thorn in their sides as he should be.
2019. I agree with the 5 th option, we need protections for the guys on property, and the ones hired durring the life of the contract, into the,next contract. If the numbers of mechanics the most we will ever have at SWA is 2800 to 2900, then so be it, we live with that, when guys retire , quit, or get fired, then everyone moves up. They will probably have to hire, when the old guys leave anyway. But we will get to a point when SWA says this is it. We haven't gotten there yet. And I agree with you, you don't want an ALR who is an idiot. I would have no problem being a shop rep again.So that's where we are at. It concerns me it seems our law firm, or someone in AMFA started this FAA investigation in SWA, especially that letter from Seham. I understand,that is negotiating tactics, but it can get our guys in trouble not good. Be careful what you wish for. Sorry to be long winded, but we will get all we can get, then move on.
Is He at our negotiations, how busy is he, if he is like a CEO , he would be very busy, that should satisfy you!
