Keep voting no until you all get the contract you want, then...
I am quite sure that the TWU side of the Association will push for more heads as they always have.
As far back as the 1983 " B-Scale " contract and the subsequent scaled contracts to maintain headcount or dues accumulation.
At some point the union business model can pull in the same cash flow with lower headcount and higher wages as it has with the opposite for the last 30+ years.

Excellent strategy I have practiced for 30 years but to no avail.Kev3188 said:

Jobs are going away no matter what. TULE will eventually wake up to the reality. I figure they will not go away completely, but look for a drastic down-sizing there in the next few years. That being said, PAY ME!!
Yes, there is already some reality, as the MD-80 slows down. The aircraft,the engines and the support shops, including in Tulsa, the machine shops. But not to worry to much the machine shop technicians can bump to the aircraft too.dvlhog212 said:

I have a question to which I probably know the answer. Did the association when they wrote up their constitution or rules on the toilet paper roll allow us the control of our contract? By that I mean can they except it on our behalf because it's in our best interest like Jimmy Little did once and it was done once in the past also I think 93.

Yes, I too have voted no, since May 29, 1984 . and will continue to do so until I win the Lotto or Retire: because from the beginning the mechanic has never been considered an equal with his peers at the other carriers under the eyes of the TWU. Until the mechanics have their own fully independent contract without regard of the other Title groups, but based on the ability to gain a comparable wage and benefit package with all major carriers, including UPS and FED-X and Southwest Airlines that have A&P Mechanics in their employee. Also with no one mechanic being held at position that is substandard i.e. SRP, OSM AMTO etc. . A Junior Mechanic would be acceptable with no more than 5 years to the top of the wage scale. The union representing the members, not a dues collection machine for politics.

Shows that no matter what the situation or what the contract, you won't be happy. This is exactly why I want to be non Union. I have a union that takes my equity and I have goey and buck not willing to accept any kind of pay raise.
If Doug keeps to his word we are looking at a 27% raise in pay alone and that doesn't include sick holiday shift diff etc etc......and buck and goey will vote no. Go tell someone in any other career field that you want to turn down a 27% pay raise just because you feel wronged.
