TCC Monthly , published by AMFA Local 33, Vol 6, Issue *, May 2003
As reported by Joel Stenoien. . . “ Most of us have had a difficult 6 months filled with bumping and layoffs. Some of our members who have been doing the same job for over 10 years have been displaced. Atlanta was closed, and locally, hangers have been shut down and shops have lost most of their trained technicians because of bumping. We’ve watched friends and co-workers go out the door, probably for good and many have wondered when they will be next.”
Question #1-If Mr. Stenoien is correct about employees gone “probably for good”, what happened to AMFA’s position that “when these employees get recalled they will have good pay and benefits to come back to” (AMFA’s claim is that the preservation of pay and benefits is more important than jobs lost.)
Question #2-NWA/AMFA has not entered into a concessional agreement as of yet, how then do you explain the number of layoffs and the loss of work to foreign and domestic facilities???
Question #3-Will there be more layoffs and outsourcing if a concessional agreement is reached???
Just answer the questions please. We already know your opinions of the TWU!!
I have more where this came from!!
