Fleet Service apathy

[Dog Wonder]

Huh?

I have no problem pointing to the past. Obviously, the IAM leadership didn't have a problem with my past because they appointed me.

Cripes,

Onward!

Until they fired you.

Carry on.

Huh?

I have no problem pointing to the past. I am the only Presidential candidate that has successful experience in a leadership role of this great District. Obviously, the IAM leadership didn't have a problem with my past because they appointed me. Your comments make no sense, given the position I held on the members dime.

Cripes, Delaney trusted me with his own IAM membership card and I delivered. And the US AIRWAYS membership supported and endorsed me in all 3 hub locations even though I had to claim the nomination by walking through the establishment at each Local. That's the scoreboard brother! It's very hard to get nominations from hubs and they don't hand out nominations to brothers or sisters that they don't know. They have spoken and I continue to be honored! The membership is full aware that the ND has done nothing and we are bringing them information on how terrible the ND has been with Hawaiian and United.

Onward!

Mr. Nelson,

I went to your occupy website and downloaded a copy of your candidates. Which ones made it through the nomination process?

Thank You

 

[UnitedWeStand]

Another question to Mr. Nelson. I looked at the videos on the website. Bruce Davis said he was Continental Ramp. My question is: Why did you choose this person for a full time position if the Constitution says he can not run unless he is a member for two years? Thank you

Is it true you have people running for Agc that have never even been shop steward before??? You say your in this for the members, but putting someone in as Agc that will have to take advice from shop stewards or the grievance committee, is that really good for the members?? Or is it good for Tim Nelson because those people can pull the votes for you!! You can honestly say it's beat for the members to have an Agc that's not even been a steward, or how about heard a step 2 grievance?? Really Tim? That's what's best for the members?? Geeeez!!!

roabilly,
Much to cover. I will provide you with all the information you ask for, but at the risk of a too lengthy post, let me start with my bio.
Employed in early 1980 in PIT. I was actively involved as shop steward and organizing with the Teamsters. Became a member of the IAM, Local Lodge 1976, in PIT in 1994 when the IAM won the election. At this time Fleet did not have their own local in PIT. We were originally put in the MTC. and related local. Served from 1994 as Shop Steward, Grievance Committee and eventually Grievance Committee Chairperson before transferring to my current station in August 98. I have served as Grievance Committee Chairperson in my current station since then until present. Additionally, I have served as the IAM Safety Representative in my current station for the past 4 years. I have attended Leadership 1 training at the IAM William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center. I am currently in my fourth term (3 year terms) as Recording Secretary for my local lodge. I've seen and learned a lot in my past 32+ years. I am running for AGC (2 year term) and feel I have something to offer. More info. concerning platform, other candidates on the ticket to follow. Website should be up within the next couple of days I'm told.
Respectfully submitted,
ograc

What is your real name, if I wanted to vote for you , how would I know?

 

[rockit2]

The only person finding anything to crow about in Tim's past is Tim.

There is no shortage, ad nauseum, to his pointing to the future.

Carry on.

Dog,
You have to give him an edge, he was in the nest so he does have some inside info.
More than we would have, so why are you consistantly calling BS on everything he says?
Tim has given more info than Delazy has given out, what's the secret. For 60 bucks a month any news is new news.

For what it's worth, if I was voting for looks ................Karen would get my vote.

For what it's worth, at one time or another I have worked with four, maybe five of the current AGC'S and none of them set the woods on fire, but after some training, they faired ok. So any new members elected could go through the same training and be just as good. Money, overnights, girlfriends and booze has ruined these guys, it's vacation time not work for the members time. I know, so don't piss me off, because I do have a can opener!

 

[rockit2]

You talk about saving money, how smart is it to continue Section 6 Negotiations, then turn around and have to spend more money to negotiate a single CBA, mean while leaving the CO rampers hanging out to dry as they CBA is a POS and offers no scope protection?

Leadership role?

Filing short on cards at AirTran is leadership?

I dont think so.

What have you lead?

Lead any step III hearings? Arbitrations? Negotiations?

Nope!

No leadership there!

Best thing US dis was getting rid of Utility and Stock clerks

rockit2,
running for AGC (2 year term) from US Airways on the "Leadership for Progress" team. RF are the initials. Research the team and you should be able to connect the dots. If not, email me and I will be glad to communicate. I have posted my bio for review. Thank you for your consideration.

Ah ignorance at its best again.

There are still Utility in CLT and PIT base and US didnt outsource stock clerks.

Try again.

Some union person you are, wishing fellow union and brothers and sisters out of a job, real nice, no wonder why Fleet has such issues.

So... I guess your assessment of the current AGC's performance is based on what criteria? Are you an AGC... ex-AGC... or otherwise trained in any of the courses required to be an AGC?

I thought you may be 1725 CLT... but I understand now... 731 JAX... cool!

Niblet,

Roabily refuses to address how the ND was so incredibly soft in negotiations at Hawaiian and United and even signed a letter of support at US AIRWAYS to support the continual lockout of US AIRWAYS stations.

At any rate, there is a reason why ND supporters point to the future and not the past 4 years as NONE of them want to discuss the destruction at United or Hawaiian and such destruction that has already headed your way at US AIRWAYS. And, to be sure, NOTHING is going to change unless we smash down the structure of the paternal paradigm that this district continues to employ.

No Tim… what Roabilly refuses to do is to accept your perception of reality as it is conveyed for political reasons. I’m very astute when it comes to intuition. This comes from decades of life experience. And believe me… I trust my southern gut instinct far beyond what any “slick talker” could ever tell me.

Actually, we can thank guys like you for that jaded instinct! You should be ashamed of the things you do to get yourself ahead… ambiguous deception… revenge… finger pointing… and outright gimmicks are beyond the realm of what I consider honorable.

When I listen to guys like ograc… I see a true sense of pride in their achievements, and an honest appeal for consideration without mud-slinging. So far… ograc will get my vote along with the team of MF… MB… and hopefully one day RR! These are the kind of individuals that I want representing my interest… not a trickster… not a court jester… not an IAM informer!

Think about it dude… you are orchestrating a carnival full of side shows, and distractions... do you really think we are that stupid? Your credibility is pooling-up around your ankles as it slowly seeps through the chinks of your tarnished armor!

In defense of the members, and the leadership team that was in place at the time, the 2005 agreement was not true contract negotiations. It was a final offer, proposed by the company, and subsequently accepted by the membership, under bankruptcy law. Similar to negotiating with a gun to your head. Turn this down and the company goes to the judge to abrograte the entire existing contract. As one from an outline station, I understand and respect the fact, we simply had no other choice, for the greater good. The alternative was not an option. I believe to this day, given the circumstances, we played the cards that were dealt to us. That being said, it's a new day, the company has emerged from bankruptcy and returned to profitabilty. It's time to regain some of which has been lost. It is time to realize our fellow sisters and brothers, throughout the system, are not the enemy. We need to unite for the common good.
