2014 Fleet Service Discussion

[Tim Nelson]

EXACTLY! We haven't even been released, much less taken a strike vote!

Im done waiting on them. They F united and didnt put out anything so we know how professional they are. Im not going to tolerate you and other establishment pollyannas telling folks that AH already know how many voted on a strike vote that hasnt happened. Our nc will put something iut because im up their arse. They F the united members and just tossed folks a strike ballot with no knowledge so i know their punk game.700 is right, they been saying prepare for a strike for months now. Trouble is that they havent contracted with any firm that put together the necessary professional package that informs the membership on all of the above.
they better get their shitt together

Tim,
 
It really doesnt matter what you put out, its not official, but it might help them, but people really dont want to be educated.
 
The dont need to contract with anyone, there is a whole communications department at Headquarters and a print shop at Placid Harbor, they will put out the right information when the time comes.

that time is here. A release could come tomorrow. I know what they put out.....fearmonger bull shitt. Ira gottlieb puts out more anti union crap, ill shove it where the sun doesnt shine. We have a bunch of absolute morons who have F up our craft and dont do a damn thing other than stir fear to keep our peeps oppressed.
These guys F up everything at United and will probably F up everything here. Same crap and same lack of info.

I believe anything that comes out will be from Tommy and Tim.
 
I was on the strike committee in 1992 and ran the local and a lot of the strike stuff that was going on.
 
I have offered any assistance they need as my son's mother is in the M&R group.

im sure you have and it is appreciated. Regarding the strike fund, jay cronk informed me that buffenbarger is inaccurate and that the strike fund has never been over $250 million much less 1 billion. And yhat the last reported figures was $85 million but that it could be over $100 million. That means, at most, the strike bdnefit is at $150 starting in week 3 of any strike.

if that is truly the case then that's the kiss of death for Buffy if he is proven to be giving out bad info on something like that I hope it's not true

its true, buffy talking about $1 billion in strike fund was myth. Back to square one. Lets get dispensation. This is a battle that labor cant afford to lose and if the iam loses then nothing else matters about the iam as it will be done along with any organizing drives and the iampf most likely. So it has to win.

disgusting no wonder these guys have trust issues

 

[700UW]

The interest off the strike fund pays for the operation of Placid Harbor.

 

[Tim Nelson]

disgusting no wonder these guys have trust issues

trust issues from district as well. Ehat has this group done in 6 years other than screw hal and ua be endorsing and lying and cheating on the members. There is no reason to be anything else but skeptic.

 

[mike33]

To inflate it a little for the sake of negotiations is one thing. But by 6-700%. Down right disgusting! When was it said? During the Boeing debacle?

 

[28L_or_10R?]

Well what do you think this is Mike ,General Motors and we're auto workers who are going to top out at 40 dollars an hour ?

If we can get the wages AA is making along with COL ,sick pay,holiday pay,felxible schedules ,flight benfits, and profit sharing ,then we will have reached the moutain and it will be time to pack it in ..

But we arent going to get there in this contract ...

This is how your coworkers in PHX should talk to you freedumb. Like Wild Bill to Jack McCall. You are a coward and deserve no respect. Go to 1:40.

So the strike fund has barely enough to live off of (if we lived in a Third World country ) ....oh Yeah this will go down real well ....

We all thought it was 100 a week till it was opined out it was 150. This doesn't change anything at all. Better save some $$ or cross the picket line. I'm pretty sure I have you pegged though

Oh please at least I WENT to the last rally ,can the majority of the membership say the same? If they cant even be bothered to get off their asses and go to a picket then F them they dont deserve a raise .....
