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

Would expect nothing less from an OUTSIDER looking in.
 
 
But we Delta F/A's know is that many of these "New" F/A's are from other carriers and also company transfers who
have experience with what a Union can and most cases CAN'T do.
 
try again lol.

Has anything NEW been posted on this 400+ thread ?  Really?

You tell me. Either way, we both keep showing up...

PMUA outnumbered the PMCO by far, that is why the AFA won in the runoff election.

and if the IAM really offered something of value, they could have won the vote regardless of the size of the pre-merger groups.

unions are all about control, power, and holding onto it and gaining it for the benefit of the union.

if unions had to justify their existence based on their performance, they would have been fired years ago.

It's noteworthy that the IAM makes such a big deal about having a contract that doesn't allow them to be fired but can't yet to produce evidence of what they will accomplish

Do they represent UAL F/A's NOW ?
What group of F/A"s do they represent NOW?
How's that working for them?
If they were so great why were they given the BOOT?

didn't all the Delta FAs blame the AFA being so close on the NW people? If yes then why didn't the AFA win at Delta? 
 
(hint, it might be because of size) 
 

I don't get it?

if the "too close" argument was the problem with the AFA, I hardly see how the IAM is any better.

about $700 more per year in your pocket and faster and larger raises than any union has been able to negotiate - that's what being non-union means in $ and cents.

Dues money tax deductible.

If the only reason the AFA was, i believe, less than 1000 votes from being was the NW people i would agree
 
the problem is Delta did a FA election before that (AFA) and i think like 35-40% of the FAs voted yes, so clearly Delta doe shave FAs who want a union.

Richard Anderson is a smooth-talking cowboy from Galveston, Texas, who earned his spurs in the airline industry working with Frank Lorenzo at Continental Airlines in the 1980s. Lorenzo later fomented a bitter labor dispute and led Eastern Airlines off the cliff, one of the first victims of a reckless airline deregulation policy that has all but crippled air transportation in our nation.

Anderson went on to senior positions at Northwest Airlines, including serving as CEO from 2001-2005. Among his profit-maximizing schemes was a plan to outsource flight attendants' jobs on international flights to cheaper foreign nationals, a plan foiled by unionized NWA flight attendants. Today, he is CEO at Delta Air Lines, for which he was rewarded in 2009 with $17 million in compensation.

Delta and Northwest flight attendants, meanwhile, united in merger, are debating the most important decision of their careers: Should we vote for representation and a chance for a legally binding contract, or should we say no to representation and trust that Mr. Anderson will do the right things by us.

The Delta AFA campaign recently released this video of Anderson’s promises two years ago, in the last representation campaign, and comments by Delta flight attendants – who are getting wise to the Anderson “charm.”

This is where your CEO came from and worked for, a good watch and history lesson:

and yet the IAM has presided over more job losses in the US airline industry including outside of BK, was booted by NW's mechanics, and does not represent any large FA workgroups.

FAs who think that the Machinists union can help them will not only be the most hated on DL property after their peers have $700 per year or more taken out of their pockets only to find out that, just like WN employees, when the company doesn't want to give, there isn't a think a union can do.

DL FAs have seen the fastest rate of growth in compensation are actually 2nd highest paid behind WN - but the IAM in its usual lies and frauds excludes profit sharing - and all of that growth could be transferred to other labor groups like the pilots and mechanics who have figured out how to work with DL on DL's terms.
