Not funny. Just annoying.
The company did file for an injunction in bankruptcy court.
Here is a copy of what was filed.
Court Motion
My apologies to Nevada, this company is unreal.
Makes some interesting reading, especially the part where they say the award would increase costs for M&R and Fleet by $245 Million a year.
They are trying to claim that the bankruptcy procedings and the POR trump the CBA.
The Judge, the Company and the employees approved the CBAs, the language is contained in their for Change of Control, the company is just mad they forgot about the language and left it in the CBAs.
Dirty pool if you ask me to file for an injuction now when they knew about the arbtitration for months.
I hope this wakes up the doogie koolaid drinkers.

A Job Action would be illegal under the RLA.
The company is asking for relief under the bankruptcy code, and the RLA covers the Grievance Procedure and as with the airbus case we were remanded to arbitration.
This just shows what the company thinks about its employees.

700UW is correct. The union cannot endorse or recommend a job action in the spirit of "self help." That would be illegal. It would be just as illegal for ANY AMT working an aircraft not to follow company procedure, policy and the maintenance manual.

Isn't this the same IAM contract (with the Change of Control clause) that was waved in the faces of West fleet and fleet was told that this was the contract they (management) wanted? Looks like they don't like that contract so much now! :blink:
Jim Traficant said it best. "Beam me up, Scotty."
I liked Jim Traficant. Wish he was in charge of IAM DL 141.

Page 19 item 84.
If the IAM believed, as it asserts in the Grievance, that it had a right to wage increases as a result of the merger and the Plan, then it had an obligation to assert that right as part of the confirmation process, and make a timely claim to that effect before the Bar Date. Instead, the IAM affirmatively represented to US Airways, the other stakeholders, and this Court, that wages would remain at the reduced level following the merger and the Plan (if confirmed). The IAM’s failure to advise the Court and affirmative misrepresentation of its clandestine position that the wage reductions were only temporary until consummation of the merger constitutes a voluntary and intentional relinquishment of a known alleged right and therefore such is barred by the doctrine of waiver.

Just rhetoric and the grievance was not effective until the actual merger closed.
Pure BS on the company's part.
I heard from a little birdie that the Charlotte Observer and Pittsburgh Post Gazette have been notified about US Airways and its tactics.
This has Jerry Glass written ALL OVER IT!

well i would first like to thank 700uw for crediting me with credbility. And I would also like to tell people that if the company does get this judge to hinder our arbitration we should do illegal activity. I dont give a )))) if the IAM gets fined, as FS, M&R work together we will have no problem shutting it down. If the judge rules in the companies favor it will open the door for every company to go and find a sympathetic judge. If the UNION doesnt make a stand/movement on this issue the labor movement is gone as we know it. The IAM makes plenty of money to pay fines. Lokk at what TWU local 100 did in New York 2 years ago. They stood up got fined and got a contract and the president did jail time. The unions need to make another stand if judges get in the way with the labor movement.
APA did it at AA and it bankrupted the union, the only way they got out of paying the fines was to give concessions to AA.
Illegal will not help you.
Work by the book, that will be plenty, trust me, been there done that.
