Here's a story for ya'. . .
A few weeks ago Amfa started having Wednesday hotdog and kraut days to take up donations for their organizing drive. (which in itself is illegal!) Some complaints were coming in about the functions and how AA management was participating. Since the cookouts have been the brunt of MANY jokes nobody was saying much. Well, last week it got out of hand and the TWU was asked to go and resolve the problem. Amfa was advised that the company would shut down the fundraisers if they didn't adhere to the company policy which would include any dinners to help members in need[/B]. Well, Monday some of the AMFA organizers went off base and had a meeting for well over an hour at the APU center. (go ahead and try to deny it!) Many complaints were noted. The Amfa organizers have also been meeting for long periods of time at Mazzio’s during lunch (go ahead. . .deny that one too!). We all know that lunch is half an hour and their meetings were lasting well over an hour. Yesterday, (Wednesday) Don Rogers decided to have the hotdog kraut Wednesday in his area and it just so happens the same shop was preparing for a fundraiser for a member with cancer. Management came down and shut the hotdog function down and has now taken the position that there will be no more fund raisers where members who do not belong to that specific shop may attend. Amfa was warned and they chose to abuse the privilege. Because of this selfishness the company is now enforcing the policy that they had warned AMFA about. For Amfa. . . another proud moment, out for me only and forget about the members in REAL need.
Nice huh?? I don't know about anyone else but that really pisses me off. That is just like AMFA to do something like that. So, AMFA boys, what do you have to say for yourselves now? Can't spin your way out of this one can you? I predict that some AMFA wannabe will direct this post in a whole different direction to change the subject, or better yet will say that it was all TWU's fault! But once again AMFA's me, me, me philosophy has cost us the ability to raise money for members who really need it.
Thanks a lot AMFA!
