AMFA Files at Horizon

[gtd]

AMFA filed for representation at Horizon today. The Horizon Mechanics were once AMFA before and then replaced them with the Teamsters. They figured out that the ibt sucks and decided to bring back AMFA. If only the United Mechanics and Related could figure it out.

Congrats to the Horizon mechanics! They are smart enough to take action once they have seen what the teamsters always promice but never produce. The United mechanics will eventually get on board as well, however, it is taking them longer for some reason. Would love to see the Fronteir mechanics to come on board as well. Thx gtd for the update...

An excellent point.

The teamsters sold themselves at Horizon and other carriers on their ability to stop outsourcing.

Congrats to the QX mechs for throwing them out.

Let's count:
They never SCABBED, unlike the iam and ibt
They are democratic, you vote every officer in and out
They have open negotiations, no secret back door deals with the company
They are a union made up of your peers, not some other person that has no interest in our profession.
They do not want to steal your pension for their gain, your loss...... etc.


Obviously they are the best out there for the A&P profession, the horizon mechanics are proof positive.



GO HORIZON!!!!!!!!
GO AMFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so why did they get dumped before?

so why did they get dumped before?

Because the UAL M&R believed the ibt lies over the facts.
One being the promise of the ibt DB with an automatic 5 year vesting.

Now they are stuck.
JMHO&PO,

so why did they get dumped before?

Because we at UAL are stupid. Plain and simple. We replaced the iam with AMFA right when UAL filed bankruptcy. AMFA did not have the opportunity to negotiate a true contract during this time and people at UAL unfamiliar with bankruptcy felt AMFA could of done more. With the ibt selling false promises and gold at the end of the rainbow, the majority bought it and here we are, looking pretty stupid. My opinion only. GT

The Teamsters have approached the mechanics at Republic, so I was wondering what their track record was. They came to my house with promises of the moon.

How many mechanics are there at Republic? I would recommend reaching out to AMFA. If not AMFA then anyone else. The ibt will make promises then abandon you. Visit The-UALMechanics.com site and go into the forum and just start reading. That will give you an idea.

Or visit The-AMT.com site and ask a Southwest Airline Mechanic who through out the ibt. Currently the Horizon Air mechanics are removing the teamsters for AMFA.

As a UAL Mechanic I can say they are a big failure here. Lies, lies and more lies.

System wide I cannot say how many, there are only 30 or so in Denver where I am. The call for a union is coming form CMH or IND where there are hangar bases. I will check into that info on those forums.

Fixindaplane,

The teamsters are good door to door salesmen. They will and have promised not just the moon, but the whole universe to get elected. Once in, they give you nothing. Actually, they take from you. You pay them and they help the company work against you.

The teamsters are the worst thing you guys can do.

I agree with AMFA, if and when you guys unionize, AMFA is the ONLY choice. You guys run it and control all aspects of it. AMFA will be what you guys make it.

Thanks GT,
It's a hard row to hoe when working with stupid and you have performed above and beyond!
Best regards to you Sir!
Also, the ibt going door to door of the laid off Indy mechs promising them 'pie in the sky' for their card.
How did that work out for them?
How many recalls did the ibt get them?
Do they still have 'lifetime' recall?
