Will the twu show up or will they cower to AMFA???
And why would we cower? You got to be kidding. Please send $$$, I loved the last amfa request I received at my home.
You will cower, because thats what the twu does when challenged.
The twu leadership and its blind faithful are made up of several classes. Punks, drunks,
COWARDS, felons, and functional illterates.
Make sure your at the debate. Bring your best. :unsure:
Never ceases to amaze me that when the going gets tough you resort to attacks and name calling. What, are you not educated enough to talk without calling names? That's what I mean when I say you guys are on the defensive. Keep up the good work for AMFA!!!
P.S. Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me!
(Is that more on your level?)
TWER;
Here is a post that the TWU side has not responded to from another thread.
Why is it that when we ask questions you guys abandon the thread? But what else should we expect from the TWU/ATD? Everyone knows its the most docile union in the country. It will do anything, surrender anything in order to avoid confrontation.
Supporting Evidence.
Ed Koziatek- former ATD Director escapes a meeting with angry meetings by slipping out under the pretense he had to use the restroom.
Jim Little- who as head of the ATD accepts responsibility for nothing, everything is to blame on either a) "I dont have a budget, B) I would do it but its up to Sonny, c) the Presidents council did it, or d) its the members fault.
Sonny Hall- recently responded to a letter from an irate Local 562 member that he did not remove the officers of Local 562, the Presidents council made him do it. Funny but a few years back the Presidents council rejected his idea to form seperate locals, they even took him to court, the court agreed that the Presidents council had no power to dictate to the International how they choose to run the union. The council is a non-entity. Local 234 took Sonny Hall to court because he ruled that their President could violate their Bylaws, and Local 562 took him to court. In all these cases Sonny claimed that he had the power to do these things but now he claims that the Presidents council, a body that does not even exist in our Constitution can force him to remove officers of other locals! Not only did he not have the courage to face the accused in the trials now he is trying to deflect blame for his actions!

However those mechanics have not taken a wage concession.
Not taken a wage concession? Holding the status as "furloghed member" does not pay equally with that of one who is currently employed. Thus a 100% wage concession was granted by those furloughed at NWA.
Maybe you get paid for no work but most people dont. A layoff is not a pay cut. While a layoff may result in lost earnings it also means that your time is your own. You get paid for the time you put in at work. It is assumed that you work during the period of time that the company is paying you. If you are laid off you do not give your time to the company and you are free to sell that time somewhere else. If you give concessions you have to give the same amount of time to the company for less money, you cant sell it to someone else.
Your time is the most valuable commodity you have. It is finite, and it can never be replaced.
If the NWA guys on furlough have taken a 100% concession how much have the AA guys on furlough taken?
When the NWA guy returns to work how much of a concession will he be taking? How about the AA guy? So in the long run who loses more?
Oh yea I forgot to mention that I passed along some AGW info to our Stock Clerks today. They were VERY interested! They are dissatisfied with the TWU also and they never had an option before when it comes to unions. It seems that the word is spreading fast about the AGW! Imagine losing almost one third of your membership in a matter of months! Not worried? OK, you just keep telling yourself that the TWU is fine the way it is and that this will all go away.
