I have often wondered how AMT employees came to be represented by the TWU. I surmised it was because AA was once the NYC airline and was based here. I understand the four hangers on the West end of the LGA terminal were “heavy†maintenance bases for the DC-3.Wretched Wrench said:..... that is how the TWU got in, but that is another story.[post="284170"][/post]
Wretched Wrench said:The answer is that the TWU has done so badly that the Teamsters look good right now. Keeping the TWU does not look that good. I would be in favor of giving the Teamsters a chance, then looking at AMFA again, later, down the road.
BTW, your post has a faint odor of class envy.

I agree with your analysis about TUL.AMFAMAN said:I don't see a change of heart at all. As you're well aware of, Tulsa dictates what union we will belong to. It is also fact that the twu has held ownership on the worst contracts in the airlines going on 25 years. Even in Tulsa, they recognize that the twu sucks but are hestitate to support AMFA. Now the interesting thing would be if the line would support Tulsa in a Teamsters drive. The line is still almost 100% behind the AMFA movement and historically more pro-Craft unionism. Then again if 75% of overhaul signed Teamsters cards, if wouldn't matter what the line did.

upsilon said:For a die-hard union advocate, it must be pure hell to be so bitterly opposed to ones employer AND union!

---------------------------AMFAMAN said:I was never bitterly opposed to AA(top management) until the election BS that occurred. Up until then I just considered them a bunch of arrogant *#^%@$ that walked all over their lapdog union. After submitting people whom they paid off life insurance policies on as part of an eligibility list to the NMB and play the innocent guy when busted; at that point not only did I become bitterly opposed but also extremely determined to face these *#^%@$ at the negotiating table with someone other than their lAApdog.
