Yes Legally what could be done? The rollover of our pension into the IAM or including us in the IAM Pension? As far as the Rollover I was answering what somebody else posted, he seemed to think it could not be done, I said I think it could be done.
NOW THEREFORE, TWU and IAM agree to propose a defined benefit pension with the IAMNPF in negotiations with the New American Airlines for single , combined Collective Bargaining Agreements covering Mechanic and Related, Fleet Service and Stores employees in order to provide a defined benefit benefit pension for those employees at American Airlines whose pensions were frozen in American's bankruptcy and to continue the participation of those employees at US Airways who currently have defined benefit pensions in the IAMNPF.
Hey Bob, one thing I know about some of the fleet guys, is because of some of the things you said 15+ years ago...because you were backed into a corner, and strong emotions they won't let go because they were being backed into a corner too.... Yeah the company really had it out for labor issues mostly due to flat rasm's, the terrible twa merger at the time, 911...then the Union, Little maybe a nice guy, but at the time he allowed to much division.
That said, present issues are
1. You guys need to go after Rosen and ask what Due Diligence he did on the iampf.
2. You guys need to go after Rosen and ask what Due Diligence he did on the Bond McKasgill language and this Association.
3. You guys need to go after Trunka, and find out what involvement he had in this Association, due to issue number 2.
Since you are not an officer anymore, and you do have a lot of respect, with everyone, even the guys attacking you, that's why the dredge up pretty quickly that link. Talk to Amfa, and have them provide with Lawyers they trust and costs involved, to go after these guys. This is not to start a card drive. This is to start a fire under TWU, and finish off what Lombardo, didn't do. There is a lot about this Association that was underhanded, and Rosen is still on board and culpable. TWU just can't continue to lie down, and not fight for us. IAM is having the TWU for lunch, while I like the Unity picture, but with Rosen still at the TWU, I smell a rat.
You guys lose your license signing off on work not done probably. Lawyers do too, and agreements become null and void, especially when they go against the interest of their members.
