Mr. Informer. I am not a Mr. Drippy Quill. I have read mention of a "Red Quill" that was with the TWU though. Is this the part where name calling begins, if so, I'll back out of your world here and leave you to your bidding. I am here to further educate myself, if possible, on our workplace, nothing more.
Thank you for the information on ECLAT. I did a search on the company and found that Mr. Randy Babbitt is CEO, that he served as VP of the AFL-CIO, served as past Pres. of Airline Pilots Assoc., and has a presidential appointment to boot. It appears he has a strong union background, not a bad thing. I do not believe he would be a negative to our industry, just my opinion.
If ECLAT is indeed fighting AMFA, which it appears they are, I would say that would be due to the TWU's association with the AFL-CIO and AMFA being a stand alone union. Remember Randy's involvement with the AFL-CIO, sure there is still a bond there. I believe this is the root for your anti-ECLAT stance and I do not blame you if they are against what you desire.

Raptor. I am not Steve Connell, I do know him. He was in management for about a year in the early 90's. He was my union steward years ago also, and I might say a very good steward. After he went to management he lost a lot of floor support, my support also. I see a line that should not be crossed. That was his move, not mine, and I really shouldn't judge him. He is now very active with the TWU locally. Our views are the same as quite a few members that do not post here, or much less, are aware of this board. I am really not here to debate but to read, I guess I should not have registered, was a lot less hassle.
Do you find it odd that after only a couple of days I am thought to be two different people. My kids are laughing now.Thank you.
