2014 Fleet Service Discussion

[rockit2]

Sorry Tim but your attacks on this guy Delaney seem more like sour personal grapes to me than anything else. It comes across as more petulant than just not thinking the man is doing a good job.

This is how I'm viewing it from the bleachers.

View it from the side lines... Delaney got weak and gave into management.

So what the heck was that rant all about? Did Johnny Rockit forget to take his little pill prescribed by the Doctor this evening? Johnny it's in the plastic case you bought marked Sunday.

Take the pill man and you'll feel a whole lot better.

[SIZE=24pt]Machinists, US Airways Reach Tentative Agreement on Contracts for 11,000[/SIZE]

 
June 16, 2014   
 ​

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) today announced it reached tentative agreements with US Airways on contracts covering approximately 11,000 mechanic and related, fleet service, maintenance training specialist and stock clerk employees.

The three-year accords provide for substantial wage hikes, significant job security improvements and maintain industry-best healthcare benefits, among many other improvements. A ratification schedule is being developed.

"We thank the negotiating committees for their dedication and resolve during these difficult negotiations," said IAM District 141 and 142 Presidents Rich Delaney and Tom Higginbotham in a joint statement. "These tentative agreements provide a solid starting point for joint collective bargaining with our Transport Workers Union (TWU) brothers and sisters.”

The IAM has been in negotiations with US Airways for the mechanic and related, fleet service, maintenance training specialist and stock clerk employees for approximately three years and has demanded a fair contract first for IAM-represented pre-merger US Airways workers before any merger-related issues would be discussed.

"My sincere thanks to the IAM membership at US Airways," said General Vice President Sito Pantoja. "When these tentative contracts are ratified by IAM members at US Airways, the IAM-TWU Alliance will then begin the process of negotiating joint contacts that will cover over 30,000 alliance members at the 'new' American Airlines. These tentative agreements provide unprecedented job security provisions that will protect IAM members as the merger of US Airways and American Airlines proceeds. I'd also like to thank the NMB, and especially Chairwoman Linda Puchala, for their help in bringing these negotiations to a successful conclusion.”

The IAM and TWU, the union that represents ground workers at pre-merger American Airlines, formed a representation alliance last year after the merger of US Airways and American Airlines was announced.

The term sheet is up. The language will be key.  Just looking at the term sheet, it's hard to figure it out.
 
are there any trigger dates?  What cross utilization are they talking about?  Pension improvement, sick time, vacation improvement. Health care is silent, what does that mean?  Holidats? Wages are prolly the same as AMR for top out imo.  Lead pay is a plus.
 
The most important item for me is scope. It appears that they reached some sorta grandfather compromise where others can do the work but the current employees can't be displaced. Sorta like at United. Dunno.  But, such language would at least preserve our current brothers and sisters in small stations, which is very important to them.  
 
Not impressed with any 'no layoff clause' ever. It really doesn't mean anything since you already have the reduction in force clause anyways if you want to move.  It's always nice to have more vacation, more pension, if the pension is back up to $82 that would be cool.

Let's just hope people read the language in its entirety, and ask questions on any unclear areas before they pass judgement and vote.
