2014 Fleet Service Discussion

[700UW]

I believe if the IAM were successful to get the $38 hr, we will still be the lowest paid in the industry.....And I have serious doubts they will come close to getting the $38. 

Are you sure about that?
 
According to the IBT info from the US campaign, that would be the third highest.

Nelson if you keep on quoting "Josh" whom a lot of us have blocked I;m going to put you on ignore & I don't want to do that.

Nelson/Josh has an agenda... and we all know what that is....

I see Nelson's posts, but I seldom even read them... they are like soap operas, you can ignore them for a year, and pick right up where you left off!

 

[Harry Callahan]

Nelson/Josh never thought of that roa. You may have a point

I don't think that there is even a remote possibly that they are one in the same. No doubt that Joshie has a hard-on for the IAM, but he has some hidden issues with US as well.

You don't have me on ignore so what gives? Clearly you get some utility out of engaging.

personally I like seeing voices of dissent even if I don't agree rather than just towing an IAM line.

 

[700UW]

There is a difference than being in the dissent than out right lying.

I do wonder if we will be getting any kind of updates soon on how the negogs are going

They arent negotiating, both M&R and Fleet will be meeting with the NMB in DC on Tuesday.

Neither do I.  But it's the same kind of diversionary character assassination you see from the same people when they don't like what others are saying.  Probably comes from a lifetime of playing union gutter politics.

700 is so completely obsessed with IAM damage control you are the second to last person he would probably ever put on ignore.  Nelson would probably be the last.

I agree.

Is being snide and condescending to people asking questions your idea of "informing the membership"?

I have nobody blocked, I even put up with 700. Josh ask me interesting questions and is well versed.  I don't believe he is a banker and he certainly isn't me but he does keep 700 accountable.  But I respect your decision Harry if you have to. You are a good brother.
