My problem with industrial unions such as the TWU and the Teamsters?
These organizations are ooh too adept at using faux democracy in order to operate in a totalitarian manner.
Here are a few examples of what I am talking about here with the TWU.
Our TWU president is eventually elected, after being first appointed, in a convention in Las Vegas in which the delegates are wined and dined by the International. Delegates are given freebies such as rooms, meals and clothing. The presidents so-called election was nothing more than a rubber stamp made by grateful hedonists off on a paid vacation that you and I paid for.
At the TWU convention many of the bylaw changes approved were approved by a single blanket motion made so that the delegates could spend more time partying in Vegas. These handpicked bylaws approved by the International were going to "pass anyway why not have time to party" the delegates rationalized. Bylaw changes are rigged by the International so they are passed in haste. A wonderful way to get things done TWU so much for debate.
Any attempts at bylaws that had one iota of democratic reform never made it out of committee for the delegates to even think about debating.
Did our union president ask you or me whether or not we wanted to negotiate our profit-sharing program away? Have you seen how much money the post merger airline is expected to make?
Who does this guy actually serve?
The new union hall in Tulsa was voted down by the union membership three times but it was built anyway.
Using fear once again, as they did in 2003, the TWU is able to successfully force-feed us another concessionary contract when we had true leverage to win back some of our concessions from 2003.
You tell me which other airline contract only gives their union members 5 holidays and a shift differential of two cents? Did you really think the Judge was going to lay that on us?
Escape totalitarianism and bask in the sunshine of real democracy-vote for AMFA and kiss Industrial Unionism and their rigged faux democracy goodbye.
No brother they are no protecting us from ourselves they are lining their pockets at our expense.
Wise up already.
