WeAAsles; As a fleet worker can you post the numbers of members that attend monthly meetings and when it comes to Votes that require the membership participation TWU side of the ASSociation what percentage of LAA members actually participate. From my experience unless the TWU is supplying...

WeAAsles ; I am really surprised that you would put in PRINT that YOU would Cross a UNION Picket Line.. That really says alot about YOU. You preach Unionism yet you are willing to cross a union line. That is very disappointing. But I always felt that MOST at AA would do that since the TWU has...

Reading what History? are you saying that AMFA members have been asking the TWU to start an Organizing Campaign at each of the carriers represented by AMFA? If that was the Case why haven't there been ANY Press release by the TWU or conversations anywhere about it? You making statements...

Per YOUR POST; Are you saying that Samuelsen made these statements? If that is True then the TWU has found a way to RAID SWA & Alaska, because the membership of both carriers that are represented by AMFA even if they did come to the TWU would have been directed to the Organizing Division of...

WeAAsles; If this is SO TRUE then why is it mostly FLEET workers that are the loudest speakers against the M&R work group getting their own representation? If each UNION member is supposed to support other members of unions no matter what the NAME why is it that the TWU is the loudest of the...

WeAAsles; Are you seriously believing that Samuelsen a supposed educated leader of a VERY LARGE AFL-CIO affiliated Union has to use this type of rhetoric to his membership to support his claims? I ask YOU, how can it be a RAID when the members of HIS union both TWU and IAM sign cards in a HOPE...

FYI AMFA represents more than people with a license. MY question was those members part of the M&R c/c will the association fight for the rights of fleet workers that are in the bag room for example who get bumped to the line to chuck bags during the winter months by the senior tow team guys...

With this statement I have to disagree the members of M&R at USAirways did get 50% +1 and a vote and LOST. They Lost due to the fact their pension and medical was threatened. Just like in the current Contract it states that any change in Union representation medical and Pensions could be in...

WeAAsles; The difference between the TUW/IAM/IBT and AMFA is that cards are collected by the Organizers at each station. There is NO direct link to AMFA. There isn't a Paid Organizing division. Also the collection Point of cards is sent to the Headquarters of each of these industrial unions...

I have a Question for the TWU/IAM supporters here??? Being the the NMB ruled that the flight simulator tech, de-icers, fleet tow team members, LAV truck operators are part of the M&R class and craft. Just what is the ASSOCIATION doing to remove the language from the Fleet contract since those...

WeAAsles; In this letter from the IAM in the second last paragragh In other post you stated that AMFA failed, in its attempt at a raid. By NOT collecting the appropriate numbers to satisfy the NMB. It has also been said that card signers forged signatures to give AMFA the numbers so that they...

WeAAsles; The AMFA Organizers here at AA have NEVER been accused of signing cards or falsifying any information that was supplied to the NMB about any member of M&R.. class and craft. For you to throw that out there is a complete insult. I was involved with every drive from 1998 until 2020...

You have ZERO clue what you are talking about, even with the added on fleet tow crew, flight simulator tech's deicers, Utility member, the total number of cards turned in was above the required numbers to get a VOTE. What no one knows is how many of those cards were deemed not good by the...

Scorpion 2; You are correct they went to the convention, and it ALL means squat. They are spending your dues money as they see fit. There are people on here who believe it is OK for that to Happen but question what AMFA spends its money on. The IAM/TWU were decertified at AA and the ASSociation...

Scorpion 2; Granted there is an ASSociation Constitution, but both the IAM and TWU are still running as separate entities in a way. The TWU just had it's convention am I correct? Aren't things being done at stations around the system dependent on the larger represented group? So are you...

That would be wishful thinking on your part due to their oath and the constitution of the TWU, they would be considered negligent in their duties and they could be removed for cause. Gary at one point in the Past was an AMFA supporter before he drank the kool aid. You will see in the future just...

THE ABOVE LETTER FROM THE NATIONAL DIR. IS JUST THE START OF THE FLOW OF INFORMATION THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE RECEIVING THE TXT & EMAIL . IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GETTING INVOLVED GET WITH YOUR FELLOW M&R CO-WORKERS ASK IF THEY WILL JOIN IN THE FIGHT TO REMOVE THE ASSOCIATION. AS YOU HAVE SEEN THE...

National Director Letter to American Airlines AMTs re NMB Decision to Deny AMFA’s Motion to Reconsider Dear American Airlines Mechanics and Related Employees: On September 29, 2021, the National Mediation Board (NMB) issued its decision on the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA)...

99RAM; Maybe in the past the IAM would of been a better choice. but they failed at UAL, CAL TWA, Eastern, USAir, Alaska, NWA all were represented by the IAM. Most filed BK and lost pensions and thousands of M&R employees. The TWU has been the one union that has set the BAR in a downward...

BeechDriver; It's Not a question of if the IAM would take the risk or NOT isn't it the same risk for the TWU as Well? What would happen if the Members of M&R actually got a VOTE. Since there would be Association, IAM or TWU depending on which started the card drive, and NO union, and a write...
