IAM makes play for scab representation

[PlayTheOdds]

SHHHHHHH....don't say secret to Felix (PTO) I don't think he likes secrets (behind his back)...After all he's been thru with his secret mission in the desert to destroy the lives of his fellow amt's/mechanics. I don't think he would take kindly to a secret thats being kept from him.

It's not like that at all Groundcontrol. I'm simply liberating you guys from the myths of unionism in its current form. You can get off your knees now Groundcontrol and quit bowing down to you dead union and stand up like a confident, self-sufficient man should.

One of the scabs called the Local 104 (Teamsters) wanted the Teamsters to do the same - He was told we were not interested.

PTO is a reflection of his freaked out avatar.

Clueless, afraid and helpless........

Just trying to make some scratch and justify his actions.

Guess that is what it takes to be a SCAB.......

Actually his avatar is insulting to strikers everywhere since the character "MILO" in the movie "Atlantis" formed a picket line and didn't cross it. For PTO to use it shows his lack of moral character. The picture below is more fitting of PTO. AKA "Charles Jenkins" the ultimate scab.

Ahhhhh. My Darling Princess appears in full Battle Dress Uniform ready for action. I take it you are the "Delighted Friend" I have been awaiting. Welcome my Dear. I am quiet pleased, my Daughter wins a Gold Star and anything she wishes this weekend, I should have known. I am sure there is an insult in there somewhere Princess but I do not know who "Charles Jenkins" is. I guess I could Google him but I prefer for you to educate me. I must checkout this "Atlantis" you are so obsessed over.

Now down to business. This IAM thing is a JOKE, however some of the AMFA Scabs have been discussing putting a committee together to negotiate on the Mechanics behalf. I have never heard of such a thing. The question is has this ever been done before? Why do you guys divide yourselves into such small groups? When the Contract Company began to dilly-dally about our bonuses we all simply met up in the common area at the hotel during a regularly scheduled meeting for shift change. The usual NWA Rep was ther as well. The Contract Company had been pawning the blame off on Northwest and now we were mad and we had them both together at the same time. First the set up was made at the Contract Rep then as the story came out we turned to the Northwest Rep as to why Northwest was with holding our bonuses. As we suspected this was news to him and he was put in a very embarrassing position. First his hit with a hostile workforce that is usually very docile then being accused of something that he knows nothing about and I believe innocent of. From my understanding the Contract Company took a good beating over this from Northwest. We had our bonuses the following pay period. There is power in numbers People along with sudden and decisive action. That is something it seems to me that unions do not have. I just do not see the intimidation there when you have a handful of suits collected at a table drinking coffee telling jokes and laughing about the whore they took to their hotel last night. Do you not think that an entire workforce showing up at the office when they are supposed to be at work that very moment is much more intimidating? You guys like to talk about the curtain, I think it is time for you to step out from behind your own curtain. You know, the one that you don't even know is there.

Well I confess, PTO is not the only one who missed the movie "Atlantis", and I'll take your word that MILO was a stand up kinda guy. However I kinda like PTO's avatar, its really quite fitting. I mean look at the guy, he appears to be placing his hands on a wall or something to brace himself, With the expression of being intruded upon anally :mf_boff:

Ya see princess, we don't always look close enough for the true message, yet there it is right in front of us..

local, there is the gutter, there is your brain headed for the drain to be lost forever.

pto Charles Jenkins deserted the US ARMY and has or had lived in North Korea for many a years and got married and had several kids. I believe that Tokyo played a major role and yet after all of these yrs Jenkins got no jail time for desertin the US ARMY, which, by the way, brings the death penalty but couldnt in this case as Japan is opposed to it. Man I thought you were a bad scabber but he went the distance. But you aint too far off though

Unfortunately, yes (though it differs slightly from local to local). Even "real" NWA rampers who make even less than that starting out have to pay that amount. In fact, in my local PT'ers pay $39.00/monthly. :down:

and what myths would that be?

Is that how you would describe a SCAB?...
