So although you agreed with the idea of reduced compensation of AGCs/Officers and proposed ideas of lowering costs of the District you voted for the slate of candidates who addressed niether issue based on what co workers suggested you do, the fact that you knew one candidate and were familiar with the candidate for President from the website. Unfortunately, I have to agree at the end of the day, members vote for a candidate they know and vote based on coworkers' opinions they believe they can trust. A disengaged and apathetic member tends to follow the crowd instead of thinking for themself. Doesn't much matter what members' opinions are on AGC/Officers compensation now. It won't be addressed any time soon based on election results.

The merger seems to be a done deal. Speculation of an official announcement Thursday, February 14, 2013. For Fleet now is the time to focus on common interests and solidarity. It has never been more crucial. If the merger proves to be successful we need to be part of the equation. IMO... the first step to this goal is getting our own combined house in order. The consequences of this merger will present potentially divisive choices to be made by our group and others. For the betterment of the membership I am hopeful, in the end, we are united. Please fasten your seat belts there could be tough decisions and challenges ahead.

I agree with you ... Now is the time for solidarity .... Let us hope that both the TWU and IAM show solidarity with us by not dragging out any elections ..either they should decide amongst the Union leadership who will carry on or they should have A vote for the membership within three months ...
I do NOT want to be discussing which union is going to be in charge six months from now ...
We've been through this before so let's just get it done !

Many dues paying members at stake for both. The process takes some time. Much of it outside of either union's control. In due time it will be decided. The end result, for either union, will come to fruition in due time. In the meantime... we must be patient and allow the process to run it's course. Most important; we must not allow the process to leave us divided going forward.

I am not patient , I have been patient long enough , I have NO INTENTION of giving our managment a few years "for free" while we try and get things done , I ain't gonna end up like the pilots and FA's where that @%$* gets dragged out forever .

Well I for one have A postive feeling about this ...and yes I am excited ... I think this merger for fleet will go much better than the US/AWA one did , I think there will be much more solidarity this go round ..
While I am egar , its an eagerness to get back to the table , I accept that joint negoations will take as long as they take , I just want to hurry up and get to that point .
Remember every year we go without a cost of living increase we're taking a pay cut .

The process will run it's course however long that may take. No single member, yourself included, can change that. Sit tight in the meantime. The leadership will act in the best interests of the entire group. That is what they were elected to do, by both yourself, and the majority of our membership. Haste makes waste. I'm confident the IAM leadership will not jump too early at the memberships' cost. Patience is a virtue that tends to pay off in the long run. Many issues have to be resolved before we get to a combined contract. One step at a time.
