Not true. These guys all think they are Jimmy Hoffa. Don't you watch the Peterson videos and Baskett Videos "Attack this company" lol. "Do what you have to do.". They have absolutely no education about the cultural boundaries of today. Hoffa was a different time. Paternalism is dead. And on top of that, the worse thing anyone can do in today's information highway culture is to withhold disclosures. Sorry, they are absolute idiots. Sure, you get a few old pricks like Weezles who are living in the 1960s still. Great music.

What is doubly troubling is that the only leverage we have is economic in nature, i.e., the company only offered what it did because it was making billions and the economy is booming. Essentially, these were the best, most optimum economic times to bring the deal to a vote.

However, with the tedious nature of section 6 and the long process, we now have to hope, and even pray, that Trump's economy doesn't slow down or even stall or go backwards like all of the union bosses are saying it will on their own personal facebook pages. If they are right, then the question becomes, what else are we going to give up?

We blew it. We lost. Game Over. Sorry

Tim accountability,would it be fair to say Sito failed the Association while Peterson failed the TWU?

Update

I not trying to be difficult here, but why would we have a vote on the offer by the company before going into Mediated talks? The IAM believes the company is offering a concessionary deal. IMO, the company will have to move off this garbage they are offering us. Don't get me wrong, we will have to move too but the company is acting like we are in bankruptcy. They are not moving. FYI, we went to mediation in our 2014 contract too.

P. Rez

There, I fixed it for you. And if the deal is so bad why can't the "members" see it, read it, and maybe even God forbid actually vote on it. Oh my bad forgot you IGMers are scared to death of LAA voting on anything.

rat, d you believe CB when he said in the breakrooms that the company wants to contract out clt bagroom and ABR?

It’s not about dodging. The articles that you agree to are called t/a, d articles. That means they are subject to change. And they often do. If you put something in writing, and it changes then people have that in print and it can cause massive confusion and the membership could think they are voting on something that they aren’t. You can call it dodging if you want Mr Swampt. And again, your welcome to call anytime. Or should I assume you are one that would just soon complain?

Did you proof read this before posting Mr Lifetime Union Slug? Does it sound believable? you and your buddy are FOS and still the enemies of LAA. You know it and most of us know it. You haven't done sh!t to advance the interest of the majority yet always act like you're here on behalf of the entire membership. Give it up, Come clean!

Contract abr? We would always be on the bottom with that DOT baggage stat always

bro, thats what baskett went in the breakrooms saying a few weeks ago. Claimed prior to section 6 that they would allow a vote.
I guess he didnt know that a company can file section 6.

But no.the company didnt offer to contract out abr and bagroom. That wasnt even a clean lie, it was just mean.

You didnt fall for his "i feel the twu pain" lies?

Tim I think you are really helping the company with your posts on Jetnet. I am no fan of the association either but I'm not going to help Parker cut my nuts. What you post here is cool and we are all frustrated but at least on Jetnet we should try to at least look more united. But seriously you are starting to look like you are actually that moron Billy Jackson who is a stock clerk that constantly takes the company's side. Just my two cents and I am just as frustrated as you. I support your right to be a dues objector and I admire you for it. I just think what you do on Jetnet is hurting and not helping us.

Does anyone remember a mention of Fleet Service asking for $40 hr at negotiations? In the form of negotiating.

LAX, I understand where you're coming from. It's quite disturbing but expected. The IAM did a nice job of protecting their members and sad to say it came at a cost to us at LAA. The real blame belongs to our own representatives the TWU. I'd be embarrassed to be involved with the business choices the TWU has made. We might as well have the 3 Stooges representing us. It's easy to be pissed at the other group but they made sound business choices to represent their people and I'm ok with that. As for the TWU, I'm not ok with them.
