fleet

[wings396]

This is the time the IAM can take back every contracted out fleet service station. Strength is in numbers.

As great as that would be, I must wonder if it is even being discussed by the IAM. If they actually do have the company over the barrell for once, it would be a prime time to get the outsourced stations back. :unsure:

we all have our fingers crossed out here on the west , oh please please let this contact be settled!!!!! i can't live on 10 dollars an hour for much longer!!!!

then why dont you people contact district 141 ,big tony
and get the ball rolling he will help you if you ask.
all together you have to make a stand big and small cities

Big Tony was the force behind selling out the small stations to start with.

If it's up to him, it won't change.

I was all over a few IAM AGC's when this piece of garbage revealed itself, and as I haven't heard from any of them (they're all over you when it's good news), I'm guessing it's not even on the table.

The IAM and US went to too much trouble to get rid of senior fleet to walk the dog back.

well transition talks are over. The company has gone to a judge to get the change and control grievance thrown out. The company says they are not going to show up at the arbitration. Watch out dont be surprised if the company shoves the IAM contract down the wests throat. And dont forget the company has a deadline of the end of april to merge operations and employees or I believe the whole thing goes down the pipes.

what could/would happen if the company combines certificates without merging employee workgroups?

I'm confused...the company agreed to arbitration, how can they refuse arbitration, and what judge would they go to for a grievence to be thrown out? If they did not show up for the arbitration hearing then it would be case closed in favor or the IAM groups.

Nevada,
I would be interested to hear where you're getting your information. 🙄

The arbitration is precedent setting, Judge Mitchell approved the language in all the CBAs that contain the Control language.

The company is NOT in chapter 11 anymore the Judge has nothing to do with the case.

The arbitration is going to be held in PHX at Sandcastle I believe.

The company has agreed to the arbitration and approved the selection of Mr Bloch as the Arbitor.

There is no deadline on reaching a Transition Agreement and merging seniority.

Sounds like Nevada is spouting BS.

if you dont believe me call Rich Johnson, call anyone on the negotiating committee, Ive talked to 3. They all tell me that

What exactly did the negotiating committeemen tell you?
Did they actually say the Transition Talks are over ?

Did they say the company was successful in having the grievance thrown out ?

Do you know the judges name ?

 

[NevadaHP]

they said that the company had been stalling this whole week leading them on, to make them think an agreement was eminent. Then Wed the company told the union they had filed a motion for an injunction on the arbitration case. No Judge name. I dont think he has ruled yet. Or even heard arguments. The union told the company the dont care and are going to show up at the arbitration on monday and hear the case with or without the company present. Talks were still proceeding and then thursday the company shut the door on TA talks.

 

[700UW]

Let me explain this to you, before a company can go to court over a contractual item unless it is a major dispute they HAVE TO PER THE RLA go through the grievance procedure.

We have been down this road before with the Airbus Outsourcing, it was declared a minor dispute and sent to arbirtation, the company is grasping.

If they dont show up for the arbitration which they agreed to and selected the Arbitor for Mr Bloch will issue a bench award for the IAM.

And if a motion was filed in court the IAM would have been served with legal papers to defend in court against, no Judge will issue an injunction without both parties presenting their side.

Sounds like total BS to me, and the Judge can only rule if a major or minor dispute and send it to arbitration.

 

[NevadaHP]

if you think its BS call someone who was there first hand. Ive given you a name and Im sure you have his number, since you think your such a big shot on everything call him and ask.

 

[700UW]

Just telling you how the Grievance Procedure, RLA and the courts work.

Been there done that.
