yep tulsa you were mislead by the twu AGAIN

Yes Mike Quill the founder of the Transport Workers Union in 1934 who served as its president for 30 years was a fighter. But this is no longer 1934 or 1966 and much has changed in favor of companies in trouble through the luxury of bankruptcy. In today's times Chapter 11 bankruptcy trump's or suspends the Railway Labor Act which governs our contract negotiations which encompass the PEB. We were not going to get there, noway , now how. The whole PEB argument to satisfy your anger would have most likely never came to be. Besides, it probably would have only lasted about 3 minutes before the order was given to get back to work. I was ready to put this one to bed and didn't have the will to experience 3 minutes of fame. It's time to move on and build for future negotiations down the road...

"Move on and build a future" you say..... I have heard that every concessionary contract. Now I have no career with a future. thanks for the pep talk but it does no use in satisfying the financial short falls of this concessionary union. You can spin it any way you want and blame everyone else but the proof is in the TWU ATD history of concessionary contracts as well as reducing our head count along the way.
2003 title 1 approx 14,200
2003 title 2 approx 2,000
-----------
Total 16,200

after 2012 contract Total approx 9000

where did the 7000 jobs go?

concessions for jobs right?

still mad

My friend Buck would say that the railway labor act and BK laws should have been changed after all these years of unions throwing money at the Democratic party and he would be right. The dems controlled washington the first two years of the Obama administration. Why weren't these things changed to where the corporations didn't have all the power? This is what he talks about. The waste of time and money given to the Dems when they turn their backs on us when we need them. We should no longer support any party since the one that is supposed to be for the union man doesn't want to do anything for the union man but take his money. See Buck? I do agree with you on this subject!

I got a unsolicited call today from a Obama supporter asking me who I support. Then she asked me if I was better off today than I was before Obama took office. I should have ripped into here but I was not in the mood. Politics will never save my job.
And now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Bob Owens or Chuck Schalk,

Word on the grapevine is that the 757 seat re-pitch, voted in by TULE and performed by TIMCO, is in trouble.

Credible sources say that one aircraft left a hub, after one flight leg out of re-pitch, for TULE to correct all of the deficiencies instead of being returned to the OSV.

Being that we are now contractually obligated to "help the Company improve their operations," wouldn't it be prudent to lodge a grievance against TULE performing work they voted to outsource, and for which the company paid the OSV to perform, instead of returning that aircraft back to the OSV forcing them to actually perform the work for which they were paid by AMR?

Could it be that the reason the company claims losses when performing outside work in-house is because we never really hold anyone to the letter of their contract unless the dispute is between the company and their unionized workforce?

OSV is short for Outside Vendor.

Boomer this unamerican airline's never enough time to do it right the first time but always enough time to do it a second time, blame someone else and claim it was cheaper!

 

[OldGuy@AA]

Does anyone else remember Dave Blaksley (TWU officer in the 80s in Tulsa) prounouncing grievance as "Gree-Vee-Ance" ??? Boy those were the days........He made us all look like idiots but there are some who continue the tradition. Isn't there someone at the union hall that can keep the media from putting a microphone in front of J.M.? Just sayin. hahahahaha

The company would just call a field trip to timco and the idiots would get on a bus head to TIMCO and bail them out again

Doesn't matter.....DFW is working OT, AFW is working OT, who the fk cares anymore. Their is NO leadership to keep all the locals in check, and the twu international owns the contract. I should have stayed in school,,,,let this be a lesson to you kids

Local 567 is saying the OT guide line committee meets in a week or so, and its made up of Hewitt, and some title 2 guys. I don't think Larry, Bob or Gary were invited, because their will be a seperate meeting for line stations. Looks like TULE is going balls deep on the OH mechanics at TAESL and DWH. Anyone here different? Oh by the way, Larry is not included in this meeting. Hmmmmmm

I wasnt invited to be on any of Don's Committees. I've had enough 'middle seat in the back on an MD-80 time' anyway. Maybe if I could fly like the ATD does I'd feel left out, but I don't.

Fill us in Bob, who's on it?

Your ignorance is astounding.

You insult those who came before us by insinuating that they didnt have to fight for what they got, that they had it easier and use that as your excuse for giving away everything that they fought for and handed to us. We did not take care of what they gave us and what we will pass on to those who follow us pales in comparasion. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Do you even know what a PEB is? Obviously not.

C-11 does not "trump" the RLA. Ask the lawyers.

Mike Quill went to jail, so much for things being much more favorable then than they are now.



Educate yourself. Start here;




The number attached to the year really isnt what makes the difference, what makes the difference is they had Mike Quill and we don't.
