Fleet Service thread IAM

[muircross]

Do you guys think Canale will sign off without extending our contract ?
This crap is not going over in CLT for sure if true. A GREAT BIG NO vote here.

I wonder if this TA has anything to do with the fact that Parker and Tilton(UA) met twice last week presumably about a late spring merger? Canale's on the board for UA; someone should get him on the record. Otherwise,this TA makes no sense.

How do you know for a fact that Dougweiser and tilton meet? Or for that matter how do you know for a fact what the TA(if there is one ) says?

 

[necigrad]

On the record or off the record it doesn't matter. Yoou're not going to get anything from a liar like Canale. At least nothing you can believe.

The same Catering group that the PHL IAM leaders threw 22 Class 2 stations under the bus to save in 2005?
See ya later boys, paybacks are a you know what. Sad thing is that if catering had been outsourced back in 2005, that those working there would have all had jobs on the ramp. But our loving IAM leaders sold out 22 stations instead. Park those catering trucks, and get your knee pads out fella's...............

Be careful what you wish for. I hope you have alot of seniority. I heard in one station all the people in catering are senior to the people on the ramp. Let the bumping begin. No fences pack your bags, WESTWARD HO!

 

[cltrat]

any out sourcing be it catering or what is BS and should be voted accordingly

O.K. folks, here is the scoop from a reliable source in PHL. Canoli and RJ met with AH and dougweiser on thursday last week. WITHOUT THE ENTIRE NC. Those 2 made a deal for the T/A that will be signed today at 17:00 lcl EST I believe, although it may be PHX time. Canoli also told the NC that he did not need a UNANIMOUS acceptance from the NC. He could bring this RAG back to the membership with a split NC. It is canoli's opinion that he has sole authority to interpret the DL141 by-laws on this matter. So keep in mind that those on the 100+k club will try to sell you this POS T/A, and those that are opposed will do just that, oppose it. I do not have any details about how bad it is, just that it is possibly the same if not worse than the september T/A. I truley believe that canoli has the ego and arrogance to do this to the membership the he supposedly derves. Maybee he should be paid by USAirways, that way he could get to be a part of the "new" AIP for the upper management, all the while giving the shaft to those he represents. This is a sad day in union history. :down:

So get ready for all the propaganda to start. Like "this is the best we, oh I'm sorry, the best that I could do", "If you don't accept this you will have to wait untill 2009", "This is the company's FINAL OFFER", and we all know just how final the first "final offer" was now don't we.

The spin meetings are tentaviley being scheduled for Wed, this week I believe. So bucle your seatbelts, it's going to be a rough ride!

That is exactly how we got this T/A. Canoli SOLD US OUT AGAIN!!!!!!!

 

[cltrat]

Canoli is the scum of the earth it would be entertaining for him to show his face in Philly or CLT

the last rag got voted down so will this if that is true and the arrogant scum will be gone in June

 

[orioleman]

PJ,
your info is dead on correct.. I know 2 neg that said hell no .. let you figure out who they were.. clue #1 they work on east coast .

If you are running low on T.P not to fret you can use this next t/a to wipe your A** with because it blows to high heaven..

as far as this being a sad day for unions . could agree more . But what is sadder is the leadership and arrogance of our so called leaders. ITS ALL ABOUT THEM.


100k club enjoy your last few BIG checks cause they will be going bye bye come june

Lets wait to read the thing first. The time to get up in arms is after we've dissected it. Remember, dates are very important if it passes ( which I don't think it would) because if they do close catering and the transition date of the employees is after that, you won't be going anywhere but ur own station. Don't forget, you can't exercise ur seniority untill all are iam.

 

[Black Magic]

I find it amazing that they are even trying to offer an even lower type of bs TA agreement? Don't they understand that the east hubs have the control here? Its going to be a big fat NO again. 2009 gets closer by the day and they expect fleet to be stupid.

On second thought maybe they do already know this and the company wants to keep things just they way they are but wants to make an illusion that they are trying to make a unified workforce?

 

[perserverance]

We all want to reach an agreement but this may not be the time. Please be careful.
This group representing us has done a poor job and need to be held accountable. If the
company indeed offers a lousy TA then our reps have to know what were feeling and refuse
to bring it back for a vote, wasting our time. If they indeed have, for the most part, signed
off on this than it needs to be addressed and they need to be replcaed for the simple fact that
they are not in touch with thier work group.

On another note a news article released today revealed :

''According to the study, the rate of consumer complaints was up 60 percent last year. US Airways had the most complaints. Southwest had the fewest. In all, complaints were up for 15 of the 16 airlines included in the study. Mesa Airlines was the exception.

About 37 percent of the complaints were for flight problems, including canceled or averted flights, said Dean Headley, an associate professor at Wichita State University and co-author of the study. About 20 percent of the complaints concerned baggage -- stolen, lost or damaged. Another top complaint, at about 11 percent, was poor customer service.

On-time arrivals dropped for the fifth straight year, with more than one-quarter of all flights late, according to the survey. Southwest had the best on-time performance; Atlantic Southeast had the worst.

The rate of passengers bumped from overbooked flights also increased, up 13 percent. Jet Blue had the fewest bumped passengers; Atlantic Southeast had the most.

For lost bags, the industry overall had about seven mishandled bags for every 1,000 passengers -- up from 6.5 in 2006. AirTran had the fewest mishandled bags, four for every 1,000 passengers. Headley said Air Tran's good showing helped propel the airline from the No. 3 spot in the 2006 rankings to No. 1 last year.''

You get what you pay for, I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Thanks

Based on what I heard, Parker was not in attendance at a Chicago meeting last week that reportedly had up to 6 VP's and higher officers of US AIRWAYS. The presumption is that this was apparently a meeting discussing 'merger & acquisitions'.

I'd like to ask my dear friend District Force to comment on the accuracy of this report since he apparently is a man 'in the know' about mergers. Also, based strictly on initial reports in this thread, it appears that an apparent TA may be signed in a couple hours. These reports have all indicated that this apparent TA was a sellout but we'll have to wait to review the language. To that end, if I remember correctly, District Force agreed that fleet was solid and that it could expect to get $19.50 at minimum but $20 might be too high. So District Force, would you say that any agreement that is not at $19.50 at signing a fair one? And if not, what should fleet service do about it?

OK… Ya’ll… I ain’t gonna rant too much but…

Just as Mr. Nelson has said, the sword will be held high!

I’m already getting feedback from Fleet Members… that anything even close to cost neutral in this Tentative Agreement, will be opposed vigorously by CLT Fleet!

I place complete faith in the Network of Solidarity, (Of which, I am proudly a member) to tear apart any language that is unacceptable, or below industry standard… article by article… line by line…letter of agreement by letter of agreement!

CLT ain’t in no damn mood to play games! We all have each other’s back on this!

Cornhole’e… we gonna teach yahh a lesson in Solidarity!

I agree Roabilly 100% I am getting the same thing. CLT is in no mood for any kind of games.
