CWA/Teamster labor thread -

[Dont call me Shirley]

Does anyone know her background? I assume it is from res, not the airport. One might wonder just what qualifies her for the spot. The cwa.net website has no info or background. It would be nice if it had a "who is who" section so that the dues paying members know who is representing them.



One also might wonder if the airport agents might have been better off with a union with more background in the airline industry.

Speaking of the cwa.net site, here is the latest news:

The IBT- CWA Association elected bargaining team met for two days in Phoenix with US Airways labor relations at US Airways headquarters.

This session was to identify which Letters of Agreements that have been signed since 2005 are still applicable and if applicable, which Articles they should be inserted into. There was agreement that some will remain as Letters of Agreement.

Umm, how about stating which ones? Nice job "communicating", eh?

Don't get me wrong; even if CWA's representation of the customer service group leaves something to be desired, I am sure the agents would be worse off without a union.

Velvet kept her perfect arbitration record intact, losing the CAR job duty restrictions grievance. Reason, failure to fille grievance in a timely manner.

Your union dues hard at work.

I didn't even know this was taking place. Heck of a job, as usual, Communications Workers of America! How 'bout a blur on the website on the topic. What were the issues?

Look, folks, this getting absurd. Would there be any point in people complaining to he national CWA? Yeah, probably not. I have the feeling that agent group at US are a rather small blip on its screen. When was the last time it got mention on the CWA main website (http://www.cwa-union.org/)? A lot of stuff going on the telecom industry, what with the Verizon strike and all.

(Sigh)

CWA District one elections. Maybe we've finally been heard. There will be a "legitimate" election for officers in district one. Ballots go in the mail October 17th and must be post marked by November 10th. Make sure you get your ballots, and make sure you vote. Time to shake things up.

You sound as if this is the first time you have received a ballot to vote-why is that?
We always receive ballots from our local here

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Haven't got the ballot yet, but it would be the first.

We are all in trouble Andrew Marshall will not represent us in neg ! Write to HOFFA !!!!

 

[dexter]

Writing to Hoffa about Marshall is the same as writing to Cohen about Hawthorne! It goes in the spam file.
The only thing the members can do is wait to ratify and do what we do best.

A friend on the IBT bargaining team said "eye candy Andy" did BT- pres from PHL when they were in transition bargaining and she would not leave him alone. She followed him around during the meetings like a puppy dog and was never in the room during negotiations. After he was done with her he kicked her to the curb.

Eye candy from what I have seen he must consume candy by the bag and donuts by the case he looks like andy marshmallow.

Having worked both Rez and the Ato at a couple different locations I and many others are totally dissatisfied with our representation at Ibt local 104 in Phx.
We were told by the local president that we would have his direct attention and support, he hasn't been seen at the Ato since March he was only campaigning evidently !!!
We need to all stand up and let the Ibt national know, we expect strong representation and the local president to be truthful,
The more I hear from the stewards and neg. Members is he hardly shows up at the local much less support the neg committee. My concern is his lack of qualifications in aviation. I can't help but question why, why do we pay into a special strike fund when we will never strike, is it even legal are. Are we only funding a potential UPS strike?
