This week the two international unions have signed joint agreements to cover the Mechanic & Related, Fleet Service, and Stores employee work groups at the soon to be merged airline. The new labor partnership, to be known as the TWU/IAM Employee Association,

TWU/IAM Employee Association, ROTFLMAO!! Another int'l closed door deal!

BS....When do we get to vote on stuff that affects us, the membership? Oh, thats right, when we GO AMFA!

Interesting to watch the TWU attempt to redefine itself. I'm sure they'll cry to the NMB that AMFA is interfering with this process.

It's rather evident, considering the way the TWU has operated during the past 22 years (that I saw firsthand) that little jimmy convinced the IAM to go along with the program - joining forces to produce a company union WalMart would be happy to have on their premises.

You dont necessarily have to. Your union is your authorized agent when you joined, but as always you will sooner or later.......

Does anyone know if this has any negative outcome when AMFA files this month? Will all members of the new union have to be concinered for the numbers?
