American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

Bears was the type of worker that gives unions bad reps

Bears is Retired?

The language could be written in a couple days tops. Little cut and paste, changes here and there, and voila - new contract language done and done!
It really isn't that hard.

yea but nyer said that the company only likes IAM language so you better make sure to cut and paste an IAM contract smh

Look at the ignorance on this forum
Look at the division, blaming Tulsa still, the attacking of each other.

Look at the desire to fight each other, blame each other, and attack each other instead of fixing the problem
Although the fix is much easier than the fighting, bickering, and disunity...
The FACT is....

This group of Mechanics will never qualify as Union.
This group doesn't deserve a real Union
This group deserves exactly what they are getting now

You people can have and enjoy your Association and the Continued degradation of your Profession
At least go ask Congress to allow you to be able deduct Fleet Service as dependents on your Income Tax Filing since you choose to remain charitable

Bears is Retired?

Yes he’s happy to remind you what checks he’s drawing especially any that’s coming at your expense

 

[La Li Lu Le Lo]

Bears is Retired?

Well his mind is anyway.

No one is questioning that.

Let me be the first to say "Thank You" and don't let the door hit you in the Ass on the way out...
Any other mechanics who feel fleet has caused all your woes, you can kindly join him. I for one am tired of supporting you and your plight only to read more and more bashing of fleet. The SWA mechanic who has taken over for W as the forums number one poster with his riding coattails talk, and others saying Fleet was never supposed to be career...screw you brother. It looks as though my job is a helluva a lot safer than yours, and I have made quite a good living from it. At one time I gave a flying fuc* what happened to your job and out sourcing, I was behind you. Now, I don't give a rats ass...For those who I actually respect, I hope your seniority allows you to stay and reap the benefits that "may" come your way with a smaller work force...

Ah. one more week before the nice postman delivers the usual '4' checks, to yours truly) !!

PS, keep working that Overtime, so you can pay more SS taxes ! You MAY see yours when you're 70+ !!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Bears, has anyone ever told you that you are one IGM m'fer.

The perfect representative of the modern UNION.

The true face of the leftist socialist.

Keep representing. You are doing a great job.

 

[AOAMT86]

To the above posts. Your back stabbing and whining is probably exactly what the company sees at the negotiation table and why they are done talking.

Thanks Tulsa for successfully blocking amfa every time we tried

We have two unions representing mechanics at AA. We didn’t vote for this and not even given the option.

Now, get back to chunking bags!

 

[Tim Nelson]

Well we can't all be UNION sycophants and professional attention seekers Tim.

My question still stands why someone who has a background as a tradesman would seek to discourage another tradesman from seeking a UNION that represents his specific trade? I would think a tradesman would have more respect for another tradesman than that.

Most people who practice a trade feel a kinship and sense of respect for other tradesmen even if they are of a different trade.

That was the point of my post.

The only way Bob's post makes any logical sense to me is if he washed out of his trade and harbors resentment. I mean honestly, wouldn't a multi-employer UNION job just be a perfect fit for someone like that?

Think about it.

i agree

My statement is true. Kindly reread it. It is very hard actually to find one. AMFA is one of the exceptions as well as the UE, APA, etc. The IAM doesn't speak anyone's language except the language of money. Remember, it stole my pension? What the hell kind of language is that?

C'mon Swamt, I know you only think about yourself but you can do better than that.

I do not need to re-read it. Get a clue dude. Man you really are clueless...

You hope? My points exactly. Hellooooo!!!

Almost like he said I was the leaker in SWA negotiations, I haven't been near a negotiating table since 2002.
