Fact: Something known to be true; truth or reality of something; actual course of events.
Democracy: free and equal representation of people.
Accountability: Responsible to somebody or for something; capable of being explained.
Truth: The thing that corresponds to fact or reality.
Four simple words that belong in the vocabulary of any union but we know these words are not only absent within the TWU but they strike fear into the heart of the TWU International. Since the drive began to have AMP certified at American Airlines what has the TWU done to validate their reason to represent you? The TWU has removed information posted at work that educates you about these four basic principles of craft unionism. The TWU has relied upon those loyal to the “good old boy network” to keep the membership in the dark.
“If you tell the truth, you have nothing to fear.” Yet the TWU International can NOT speak the truth when it comes to the meaning of fact, truth, democracy and accountability. As an individual who pays the TWU money every month have you asked yourself why this is? The answer is because the TWU doesn’t think YOU are smart enough to control YOUR union. Remember “Change from within”? The TWU wanted the membership to get involved in the union, but NOW that the membership wants to take control of the union all of a sudden the membership is incapable?
The drive to have a representational election between the TWU and AMP is approaching and the message the AMP organizers have spoken since day one of the drive remains factual, truthful, democratic and accountable. The time has come to ask yourself a question about what type of future you want for yourself and those who come after us and maintain the very aircraft we will be flying on when we retire. That question is “Am I tired of not having industry leading wages?”. Then ask yourself “Am I willing to accept continued ineptness and unaccountability from those I pay to provide a service?”.
The TWU International fears these four fundamental words because they go against the very structure of the TWU foundation. AMP is your union, for you controlled by you. AMP considers everyone in our craft and class valuable and skilled. If you wish to see your craft and profession be held hostage by people you cannot even vote for then remain motionless on your knees but if you wish to have a craft union that is based upon fact, truth, democracy and accountability sign an AMP Authorization card. It’s that simple!
GO AMP!
