Well, just as predicted, new leadership changes at SWA for the mechanics group. We sort of new this was coming, as did the National leadership as you saw certain people running for different positions than where they were previously. 5 out of 6 leaders have been removed and must report back to their boxes as mechanics for their respected airline. Big changes were needed. It has been only as of late that AMFA (National) has become so vocal in the local and national media about our lack of contract and how the co. has been treating us. And remember, AMFA National was against the info picketing, against the joining forces with the pilots and F/A's, joining up with SWAPA and sharing local offices, (now watch what AMFA National does with new leadership) it took emails upon emails to get AMFA National to do anything as far as contacting media, sending CEO or COO emails, ect... There are several other reasons for the changes and one other one is lack of a contract after 4 plus years of nego. At least with AMFA, we can make changes at the top. No other unions out there can do this:
