I get it perfectly. Whether article 23 was in the contract or not doesn't matter. The RLA says you cannot strike or get locked out during status quo. A strike authorization vote would only apply during self help. The union felt it urgent enough after six years to query the members. The bumbling idiot does not want to understand it because he don't want to face a scab situation if it gets nasty. Who does?
You still here troll, you need to go talk to the ex Northwest guys and see how that worked out for them, how did AMFA respond to you in the last union meeting did you bring up your strike vote there with them, or are you just in internet land stirring up your b. s. !
Usually when you come to a T/ A the lawsuits are dropped kinda goes hand in hand !
When I said that I was trying to imply that usually not always the lawsuits are settled once you come to an agreement, because when our pilots reached their T/ A part of the conditions were that the lawsuits were dropped! AMFA will not want to have any outstanding lawsuits they have to defend to bite them in the butt that's all, I wasn't saying it was going to be instantaneous the moment we have a t/a neither side will want anything hanging over their heads. Plus if you look at what the lawsuits intell both sides can use that as leverage in negotiations as a bargaining chip !
So you believe the Federal lawsuits filed have no influence on the status of the negotiations????? Wow. We shall see??
You are as confused as the other bumbling idiot on this board. If this is the education level of this work group concerning the RLA, we are in serious trouble. Contact your airline rep or better yet clear skies.
Hey Strike vote troll is back tell me how did your let's take a stike vote go for you in the Union meeting go on July 24-th, or are you just a blowhard on the internet?
Ok bright eyes I am going to explain this one time why you are flawed. Southwest Airlines is in Texas , we have Republican based in charge in Washington that is not going to side with labor, and neither is NMB! You bring up your strike vote I guarantee if you are as senior as you claim the Maintenance Controllers, Trainers, Leads, Inspectors, senior mechanics , and anyone with more than 5 years would shout you down! They will not risk their livelihood! AMFA and the negotiating committee have a game plan that doesn't involve destroying the membership jobs, like yours does! Also AMFA and Seham make money and they will not risk that, nor wanting to organize other airlines because a few people like you want the nuclear option ! Yes we are a democratic union, but if you threaten this union or it's membership with stupid ideas, we will turn on you and become like the Teamsters so fast it will make your head spin! And based on you spouting off like you do, I know you are just an internet troll !
Thanks for your detailed explanation. I completely understand now that you are a Snowflake!
And you are a troll, you never answered my question did you bring it up to the membership , we all know what the answer is , destoyer of jobs!
Hey Swamt you started the board you know the pulse of the membership, I am tired of arguing with this I ll have another guy it is pointless, I know where I am at no one wants a strike vote, could please inform this troll his points are futile and can we get back to the original purpose of this board!
I'm not swamt but I've come to the conclusion that the only ones who would benefit from a strike would be our competitors, management, and MRO vendors, concluding that anyone admonishing such an act must be a representative of one of the three. I've not heard one syllable from any coworker suggesting a strike as an option and doubt any would bother to suggest it here.
