Fleet Service apathy

[niblet]

I believe that they will throw a temper tantrum if the company does not move faster than they have been. They might even stomp their collective feet and hold their breath until they turn blue.

Is'nt that what happened in BUF? Stomp his feet.

And let me simplfy this for you.



Negotiations:

For the Union: AGCs, GLR and Members at Large.

In current negotiations with USAirways how many actual USAirways employees are there at the table

 

[700UW]

The Negotiating team consists of Rich Delaney, Chief negotiator and President of District 141, Tom Regan (GLR), who has committed to giving us all the resources available from the International. The rest of the Negotiating Committee consists of AGC's Frank O'Donnell and Mike Fairbanks along with 8 members from across our system including Mark Baskett(CLT), Rodney Walker(BDL), Frank Giannola(LGA), Ricky O'Barr(MCO), Steve Miller(BOS), Steve Willis(LAS), George Austin(PHL) and Pat Rezler(PHX). David Ciccone will come in when (CLP) is discussed.

Everyone except Delaney, Tom Regan is off of US property.

Are you saying that Tom And Rich attend the negotiations?

 

[BLUTO]

i have a qustion for nelson. i saw that you have 28 people on your ticket. how many are ua and how many us?

 

[Jester]

And RD doesnt lead negotiations at the other carriers, now does he?
Arent they led by the AGCs off of the respective property and members?

The Negotiating team consists of Rich Delaney, Chief negotiator and President of District 141,

So you are saying that RD did not lead the highly suspect HA agreement, but he does lead the US? What makes US so special, and why would he have allowed the HA deal to happen? I assume he reviews the TA's before it is submitted, right? This isn't passing the smell taste.

So Questions Jester.

 

[700UW]

My Experience is that the DL President first meets and then when it gets close, the the President of course he is in charge, but in name only for the most part.

What I posted came from the District 141 Negotiations information for US.

And I never said anything about him leading negotiations in regard to any carrier.

ograc,

Why wouldn't it have an adverse affect on negotiations?
What was there to produce in the last 4 years?
Are you running for an office on Tim's ticket?

It wouldn't have an adverse affect because negotiations, to date, have been nothing more than "dancing" with the company. Meeting once every other month with the company, with an update from the district that certain issues "were discussed", is not my idea of progress with contract negotiations. To your second question I propose the following: Effective AGC representation from the district in the stations. Many stations throughout the system have not seen their AGC for years. Grievances waiting for Step 3 decisions for over a year in many stations. Stations being subcontracted without contact from their assigned AGC. There were promises made by this team 4 years ago and the way I see it they have failed to produce.The real question is what, in fact, has the New Direction Team produced in 4 years? I think the answer is apparent. I am running for office to try to change this lack of representation. I am not on the Tim Nelson Ticket. I am on the "Leadership for Progress Ticket". Going forward, I am hopeful you, and our brothers and sisters at US Airways, remain open minded to the candidates who represent our best interests.
Respectfully,
ograc

Tim can you tell us how you intend to enforce the salary give-backs for the AGC's?

 

[700UW]

He cant, the salary is set by the bylaws. Only changing the bylaw can you change the salary. Is it even legal under LMRDA to give salary money back?

A union is a non-profit organization, so they would be making a profit by a salary return.

 

[roabilly]

Another question for Tim...

How do you intend to accelerate, and refine negotiations when you are legally bound by the Railway Labor Act?

Could this be an obtainable campaign / platform promise? Are we being mislead again? This time around I am hopeful the membership looks into campaign promises / positions before they believe them to be obtainable and the truth. I am hopeful, they remain open minded, do their research, and focus on a candidate's qualifications and experience when considering who wins their vote for respective positions. We should not "be fooled again."

[700UW]

Just remember this is the guy that pushed the New Direction team, and they didnt do anything different than how Canale operated, could be worse even.

Cargo,

I supported Tim in the past. I fought hard to get the N/D folks into office. I never asked for any favors... nor do I have any political aspirations to advance myself within the IAM. I simply believe that dues paying members should get the best representation available to them.

I am not supporting the Occupy Ticket nor am I endorsing the N/D ticket ... this is a democracy... and hopefully the Membership will choose the correct path... however... I think that every promise should be considered just that... a "promise".

The team that Tim helped to assemble years ago has yet to be given a chance to prove their mettle in section six negotiations. I know many of the people that are negotiating for the next agreement, and I have full confidence in them as well as respect for their integrity.

Best wishes for both slates!

This question is for either Tim or 700...

Are confidentiality agreements legally required in Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations under section 6 of the Railway Labor Act?
