Grassroots Efforts at DL for ACS and FAs, no personal attacks.

How does Robert Roach connect to and relate to current active DL employees? He says he tries to see things like a member would but he hasn't worked the line at TWA in over 25 years yet has stayed around lining his pockets.

southwind  while I have never been employeed by NWA  I do find it unacceptable that another union regardless of who it is crossing the line    and performing struck work   had we at US gone on strike  I wld of walked the line w a picket sign    Its not about parrots supporting our agenda  its a fact that as a pro union supporter that as a union member and having worked on both sides of the fence  in the airline world  I believe u have to have a union representation   bec mgmt. will no doubt f..k you over left n right and right smack in the center...     Ive seen it happen before

(Yawn)

You tell us.

Go ahead! Help Kev and other former IAM members shuck and jive their way out of the fact they performed struck work (notice whenever I bring it up, and hush falls across the room)

 
You do realize that the topic of the IAM performing AMFA work has been discussed ad nauseum on this forum. Feel free to use the search feature to find what I have posted on the topic.
 
Hint: You won't have to go back very far, and none of it matches the BS you posted above.

yet after pages and pages of your explanations, the truth is that AMFA was the only union to act and the rest of NW carried on, and AMFA and 5000 high paying jobs were flushed down the drain.

explanations or not, that is what happened.

How stupid are you?

Roach is not GVP of Transportation he is the GST of the IAM. You must have a mancrush on him as you mention him all the time and he has nothing to do with the topic.

 

[southwind]

how 'bout you comb through any of the 100's of threads on here discussing it, and get back to us with a summary?

Or is it just easier to cast aspersions?

Why dig through the archives, when at least 2 witnesses, (1 a possible culprit) are right here?

"Machinists union grabs jobs of striking Northwest mechanics!"
 
"Six days into the strike by mechanics and cleaners at Northwest Airlines, the International Association of Machinists (IAM) has stepped up its collaboration with the company’s strikebreaking operation. On Thursday, Northwest announced that the jobs of some of the striking workers, who belong to the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA), will be taken over by members of the IAM, which represents baggage handlers and other ground employees at the airline."

Pretty cool that you are using the World Socialist Website for your link.

Good of you to reveal your true beliefs to all here. 😉

You can shuck and jive all day long, doesn't change the fact one union, the IAM,
crossed another union's picket line!
 
World Socialist Website? That's like saying "Straight from the horses mouth"!

 

[Kev3188]

Actually, there were several, but you already know this...

I already addressed this WSWS comes down hard on the IAMAW for being a weak sellout union for their POS agreements at Boeing, Caterpillar, and UAL. They covered them scanning your AMFA at NWA I agree with them on this point but not much else. IAM is probably the single worst labor organization out there.

As long as I'm happy with what I'm making and the benefits I receive and I can keep a unions hands out of my pocket, who cares?
 
What? You don't think you can do a work slow-down, without a union, if your not happy. It's what the NW mechanics should have done vs. walking off and letting the IAM cross their picket line!
 
Guess once Kev and ramp are unionized and walk off, they won't have a problem with another union crossing their picket line and performing their work..........right?

This is why we have the issues we do. Don't like it get out. 
 
 
be much better off when people like you are gone. (or better yet, you get to play the game the Dallas guys did. I'd love for some of you to get bumped out to MSP and made an ASM.) 
 
but again, as long as who have a job who cares about others or the junior people. Southwind is all we need to worry about.

Amen.
