[TWU informer]

Well who won?

NWA.

AMFA should have seen the writing on the wall with what happened to all US carriers.

They failed to plan properly, they did not even have a strike fund, what kind of union does not have a strike fund?

Where did the millions and millions of dollars of dues go?

They could have done more damage still being at work, working by the book then on the outside looking in, NWA was well prepared and AMFA was not, plain and simple.

Good Point

That does not mean an AMFA membership at another airline, including if AMFA represented mechanics at AA would not take a different course of action and succeed.

It is not the AMFA that failed, it was the NWA AMFA Membership.

In fact, the AMFA idea of getting all mechanics in one union has not been tried yet, thus the idea has not failed.

I do know that having a dictatorship union like the TWU is not keeping the working man from slipping closer to poverty. Everytime this so-called union negotiates, the working man gives up something.

 

[AMFAMAN]

Amfa was not prepared, they had no strike fund, they should have known NWA was training replacements.

Yeah and NWA was counting on the iam rampers to scab AMFA work, which they did in typical iam scab fashion. That along with the old iam regime being the first to cross the picket line.

Strike fund, currently the twu strike fund has $0 in it for AA workers, so don't talk strike funds. Besides what good is your strike fund at USAIRWAYS when your scab union keeps making you vote till you get the vote right. Speaking of your airline, you guys started the downward trend in wages, so who the hell are you to talk sh*t about honorable men that men on strike.
