Who is telling the truth? Amfa National or the Amfa card count site amfa has lied many times in the past and will continue! Why should anyone with common sense believe this is any different?
8296 Total Signed Election Authorization Cards by Station and Title Group (From system seniority list
dated 02-12-2003): Updated as of Saturday October 21. Our goal is to obtain 60% of the Craft and Class of Mechanic and Related, and at this time, our estimate of that number, with 'elbow room' is approximately 10,000 cards.
Using that number, at this time, we are about 82.9% to our goal, or approximately 51.2% of our Craft and Class.

AA Mechanics and Related:
It is our pleasure to announce that the American Airlines AMFA-AA Organizing Committee has received signed authorization cards from 52% of the eligible voters to file with the National Mediation Board for a representation election. Once we obtain 60% signed cards, we will file for an election on behalf of the mechanics and related personnel at AA. Sixty percent of card signers will guarantee an election. This ongoing card drive is the result of a large scale grass roots effort on the part of many mechanics and related employees on American. This will represent the first representational dispute election at AA for our craft/class since 1964. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the AMFA/AA volunteer organizing committee for their dedication to bring the card drive to an eventual conclusion. They have informed us that they are confident that this card drive will result in an election within the coming months. The active personal participation in this card drive shows once again that the airline employees want a democratic union that is accountable to them. AMFA will soon become a reality on AA as it has in the eight airlines it represents.

We plan to have a debate in Tulsa to refute the fabrication, outright lies, and half-truths perpetrated by the TWU before their mechanics and related membership. We will debate either Mr. Little or Mr. Hall if they have the guts to show up to the AMFA debate.
AGENDA
a. The two debaters will flip a coin to see who will speak first.
b. Each debater will have 10 minutes to tell the audience why they should stay or not stay with the TWU.
c. There will be a 10 minute rebuttal from each debater.
d. The rest of the meeting will be a question and answer session from the TWU mechanics and related employee to each of the debaters.
Time, date and location will be announced to give ample time for the AA TWU members to attend the
AMFA/TWU debate.
Sincerely,
O. V. Delle-Femine
National Director
With the news article in the Tulsa World today and the inflated numbers it sounds like a desperate move to me? This same move failed at USAIR and I suspect it will fail at AA. Amfa has been at this percentage before, why is it any different now?
It takes two for a debate, sounds like an Amfa plot to get cards signed, please show us the letter sent to the TWU? And they’re response? Or are you trying to deceive! Just like the drive at USAir, which has gone down in flames? What was their count 54% the last time this was attempted? Keep spreading your miss-information and half-truths!!!
As I said before your card count is inflated and you have many cards invalid and expiring every day!
Keep dreaming,
