[robbedagain]

Do you remember if we voted IAM or TWU??

I dont believe we voted for representing. I dont remember that

 

[dfw gen]

no we never did, we only voted on the contract afterwards, I think it happen pretty much like Tim said, they were bought out.

That is the first time i have seen that!
Proof that anything can happen in this world!
You agreed with Timmy!

Next thing you know we will have a jcba!

Well what was the philly incident about then? I clearly remember the stewards saying we can lose everything.perhaps at one time they were going to vote, i didnt.read what tim said

The Philly deal I think their were TWU guys I guess feeling the water on representing fleet and some goons kicked their ass. Mysteriously things worked out between them later on

Maybe they threatned the twu into the association?

I remember the TWU “stepping aside” (for lack of a better term), and there never being a vote. There are tons of posts about it on here if anyone wants to dig for them?

No vote, $500,000 paid to TWU to walk away, fight was because TWU was a threat to IAM representation of the fleet service employees after the merger.

It was during that time i probably heard the propaganda. Thanks

I get sent news about quill scholarship, but nothing about contract negotiations.

I’ve been reading the AA - IAM contract for AMTs. How disappointing, not a very good non bankruptcy contract. Very disturbing that these two unions who have negotiated contracts that are subpar on their own but now the 2 of them are negotiating a contract while having a divided membership (not one voice one union).

If we ever get a new contract, I’m expecting the best contract ever, with the power of 2 unions, 35k members, AFL CIO and taking 4 years to negotiate.

Lol. It’s gotta be close to 20...

The brawl at that time got Tony Armidio canned from the company. Other folks were terminated but i believe got their jobs back.

I remember some of that. And yes, some did get their jobs back. Just don't know if all did.
