yes and no. members suck, cause you guys aren't making them represent you. why will amfa, iam, amp etc.. be any different. And I agree, they do suck but we aren't doing anything about it. We're picketing AA instead. We know what AA wants, or do we?
The twu constitution is set up against us from fighting them we have no say in the international. They do not care about us are represent our best interest. Only there best inerest and dues money. With amp with amfa the constitution is different you can recall officers if there not doing there job. In amfa they communicate with there members there updates are great there’s no rumors because they know what the company’s proposal and there counter proposals are. If there not in arbertration mediation they have observers. You can picket the twu to your blue in the face and they want do what you want. The only thing they care about is dues and if you do not pay them you lose your job that the only thing they know and care about is dues money.
Sheesh
its just not something the iam is worried about. little more concerned with staying home.
and again the iam stayed home.
I would like to add dfw that once we went with AMFA and we too built a relationship with all our other labor groups including the TWU F/A's that at one time hated AMFA with a passion under previous TWU leadership. A very good move by all involved and the company hated the fact we all came together. I would hope the IAM would at least do that for their membership. When we were teamsters, they flat out refused to get with all the other labor groups.
Most are listening to their asso, and will never hear you. I have tried as well. You just can't fix stupid.
