Did you just wake up from a long Coma? Call your Local and they’ll clue you in.

This just in;
TWU/IAM association vote Results

0% (PARTICIPATION)
Accept (100%)

Now that's funny right there!!!

Well I guess you don’t have to worry about the possibility of being called into an office and accused of being part of any work slowdowns.

The Company will probably give you a Gold wrench when you retire.

I have more pride being an AMT for AA, then being an association member.

AA tried giving us raises in 2008,2010, and now, but every time the union or association has stopped it because some group within the union didn't get exactly what they wanted.

I just called, they said we have to pay the vig to the association to work at AA.

Look at that, a union that was voted in to the property has 93% participation and they overwhelmingly voted in a contract for mechanics. What's different about our situation?

“In addition” Meaning if you are scheduled to work and you do work you will be paid for your 8 hours at straight time plus and additional 8 and one half for that time.

Sad part is its only 1 dam holiday. Company knew they wld slip it in there in an effort to kickstart the busy summer season. They also figured on (probably betted) that the union wld sign off on it without a vote. Thus quickest way to get it in before the long 4 day holiday weekend. I wldnt be shocked that they try this stunt when it is closer to holidays as theyll try to stall longer especially with pilots n FAs contracts coming up if not already up for talks

Yes but in the letter they have proposed to the company to allow all current TAd items to go into effect. Let’s see how that goes

The Association is the governing body of both the TWU and the IAM at AA. Although this comment will draw out the rock throwers under the Constitution of the Association the Chairman and Vice Chairman retain sole authority to make those types of decisions to accept or reject any monetary gains.

Most Unions have that authority as they own the Contracts. The “UNION” meaning all of us but our elected representatives who speak for us primarily.

That’s why the Memorial Day deal was signed by Alex Garcia (Association Chairperson) and Sito Pantoja (Association Vice Chairperson)
