American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

Dude, that was 13 years ago! Aren't you the one that always prattles on about only looking forward?

Yes he is.

That idiot was set up. You would have thought that he was able to figure out why the company chose to go to LGA after a few years. And you would have thought that he would have figured out that something was up with how they let him blab away and have the platform. Isom tried baiting him 3 times, and the company cameras showed him. Samuelson stayed silent but the third time Isom baited him good and Samuleson was incited and said exactly what Isom was wanting him to say. "We will bloody the nose of this comany' "Shut'r down". This video will be sent to the judge as AMPLE proof and we can now be 100% certain that an injunction will be ordered before the weekend. What a dummy. I keep saying that these guys are their own worse enemy. Cripes, as I was watching the video, immediately I knew what the company was attempting to do as soon as I saw Samuelson in the room. There was a reason why they let him in and let him have the floor. Bad move by Samuelson but he is young, inexperienced, and has no idea how this stuff works.

There is not one thing you have predicted that has come to pass. Please take your imaginary friends and go home.

TWU International President John Samuelsen confronts Robert Isom, President of American Airlines.

“I stand here to tell you in front of this whole room, in front of everybody, anybody who is listening, that you’re not going to get what you want and if this erupts into the bloodiest, ugliest battle that the United States labor movement has ever saw, that's what is gonna happen.”

“If we ever get to a point where there is self-help, we are on a engage in absolutely vicious strike action against American Airlines to the likes of which you have never seen.”

”I’m never gonna sign a crappy agreement that sells everyone down the river, its never going to happen. We are going to defend our members, we are gonna defend our future generations of workers that want to be employed.”

-John Samuelsen
TWU International President

Great sound bite. But should the day come where we are allowed to strike,
we walk out the door, they impose their terms, and replace workers. Will the big mouth still get paid?

Bloodiest ugliest labor battle? That would imply the bats are coming out and heads will be broken! REALLY?
please! LMFAO!

 

[WeAAsles]

That’s probably what they want ,that way no BOD to figure out how incompetent they all are

Who has the exact info on how many $$$Billions of Dollars they’ve siphoned over to Wall Street so far? I thought it was $15 Billion but a guy on Jetnet told me it was $19 Billion yesterday?

Oh but some of the posters here are worried about the Company Profits?

Wow I’ve never seen you this angry. I’m very sorry that the TWU has decided to fight for all those future “dues payers”. I like to call them kids myself.

Anyway sit back and relax. Eventually the ride always comes to an end.

weAAsles is worried for fighting for future dues payers.

I doubt Dave gives a F about future members; he’s simply promoting the Association line as a way to curry favor.

Wow you can SEE I’m angry, WeAAZ?
Actually it’s the contrary. I’m laughing my ass off! BLOODIEST AND UGLIEST LABOR BATTLE OF ALL TIME? Really WeAAz? Are you prepared to break heads?

Why the all caps? Personally I enjoyed the display. BTW did you pick up between the lines where John said:

“If we are released which I don’t think is gonna happen”

Maybe the guy is a little more versed in how things work in the Airlines than you realize.

 

[Matt1200]

I agree that the President of TWU was pissed off! I’m glad he told that college boy Isom that the gloves‍♂️‍♂️‍♂️ are off!!! Sometimes I wish these town Hall meetings would be live on TV!!!

 

[lax]

I think this guy may have had to many drinks before this meeting. He could not even get his words out.. This is our Leader. Wow we are doomed. I thought Gary P was a idiot. He just made him look smart. STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES. Hey maybe that will be my new saying. No more. " You cant fix stupid."

"300 billion, yea 300 billion you made" man o man we're in quick sand

Only problem is W would be the only striker. Have a sneaking suspicion that won't work lol. His tough talk needs to be directed at Pantoja and the rest of the I Am Morons cuz we aren't keeping scope, IAMPF and IAM medical... ain't happening. Negotiate something for it and move forward $hit just not that hard

you should know better than to listen to the loudest guy in the coffee house, the barber shop or who writes the heaviest anti-company script.

i can't say that this person embarrassed himself because i feel the company looks down upon us with contempt anyways. he also said the company bought $6 billion worth of stock back last year? what is disappointing is that other employees gave this guy 'likes' for his ridiculous numbers.

you know better than that. the company believes we are dumbasse$ anyways, how much were they paying america west leads 10 years ago? and a lead is considered 'creme of the crop' of ramp agents?

they have to be laughing their asse$ off.

I have to emphasize BLOODIEST AND UGLIEST LABOR BATTLE. Sorry if you don’t like all caps. But what do you think he means by that? Cracking heads and knee caps? I’m looking for details on what he
meant. Is that too much to ask?
Now let’s address the “if released” remark.
If we are released, he has 30 days to break some heads. Then we walk out in strike, get a new contract imposed and get replaced....So who’s blood is going to be shed?
I just want to know what weapon of choice to bring to the battle.

Here’s the funny thing I see about the Airline Forums posters. For years they were screaming because they hated life under Jim “Chicken” Little and how the AMFA at least went down fighting tough at NWA and the reverence people had for that bold move.

Now you finally got someone leading the charge talking tough and you guys all become shrinking violets.

That’s why none of you have any credibility. You’re all FOS.

Anyway go sign an AMP card ok. LMFAO.

How much are they up to in buybacks so far?
