IAM Fleet Service Topic 6/7-6/13

[Hey.. Chill Out]

Well, lets not jump to conclusions with scanners. Something we lack is an interactive system out there on the ramp. No communication.

If the scanners can give us real time action, maybe we won't throw that bag up on the belt and off to the incorrect destination.

What if a reroute has been done last minute?

2 birds one stone: bag on time, no bad customer service experince is 100 dollars in my fat wallet!

it's going to add time since I understand they will be used during both the on load and the offload so in this day where there is such a hard on for on time departures.The leads at CLT runs locals along with freight and mail so hard to see they will be able to do it on every flight and who use it during the off load? these things cost 2000 apiece and their performance in wet weather is already questionable

I recieved this yesterday evening:



It seems that there is a horrible stench coming from the Team Fur 2008's campaign headquarters on the Jersey Shore. M.T. Suit just isn't quite ready to abandon his reign of tyranny yet. We have intercepted a confidential e-mail between the Great Ass and the low vote getter in the entire election Robyn Eulo. The guy from PHX, who isn't even on the ballot, is getting more votes then Eulo. In this e-mail he begs her not to give up, but rather to step away from the Krispie Kremes and keep fighting because he has a plan.
This complete moron believes if he throws out ORD & PHL's vote totals, he then has a fighting chance. Now it doesn't matter to him that he doesn't have a valid reason to do so( kinda like the Convertible Notes, Success Sharing etc..), he intends to do just that. M.T. Suit believes HNL, BOS, SEA, PDX, PIT, SFO & CLT will come in big for him and erase the New Direction Lead.

We use humor as a way to keep people interested but this plan is deadly serious. The only way to stop this lunatic and his triple chinned cohort is to get every station to max out voters for the New Direction. No lead is safe with this spineless group of incumbents. This is an all call to every member of 141 that hasn't voted yet. The future of our union is in your hands. VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!

Dirt…

These kind ahh shenanigans’ are tha “ace up tha sleeve trick†we’ve been talkin’ ‘bout!
When… will this friggin Union learn that this type of behavior is the premise for this Membership’s ire?

We gonna show up in force on Thursday… tha boys across tha field are loaded fer bear, ‘n lookin’ fer rustlin’ in tha bushes!

Once again it shows that they don't care about the how the membership votes and that they will try to impose their will on us regardless.

The best way to be protest proof is to keep voting for Delaney and in a big way. At this time, only DTW voted majority for Canale, while 12 other stations voted for Delaney. I see that trend continuing today as HNL also has had enough of Canale and will deliver 'great pain' to Canale this evening.

Make no mistake though, any protest will have to be filed by the New Direction Team. Canale is the sole and exclusive interpreter of the bylaws and he himself can throw out the votes of various lodges if he thinks there was some infraction of the voting procedures according to bylaws. In fact, I've already heard that he plans on throwing out ORD and PHL.

Again, Canale doesn't have to protest, he is the judge and will make rulings just like he did in February when he threw out almost 50% of the New Direction local nominations. The New Direction could have protested him throwing out 9 local nominations but we didn't want to delay June. So keep that in mind. The bigger the vote against him, the less risk we have of him committing further treason against the membership.

Just be aware of who Canale is and what he does. IMO, he is perhaps the worst labor criminal I have ever experienced. I was part of a group of members who supported charges against Canale and the IAM over the officer nominations in 2000, and the Department of Labor agreed with us and the Department of Justice upheld us in previous District officer election violations because of Canale's actions.

you may as well figure this is headed to court then if that is the case any large turn out against the Great Ass he will just throw out as crooked as he and the IAM in general are

 

[robbedagain]

how could he even think of doing that when the majority of the membership wants that canary bird and his croonies out and out right now? Just cuz he is a so called judge, doesnt mean he should have the final say given his p!$$ poor track record of being a mgmt boy. Make Absolute NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, THE IAM NEEDS THE ND08 NOW not whenever canarybird thinks so

 

[JoeDirt]

You are so right Robbed. All the more reason we need to get as many people to vote as possible. There can be no doubt about our intentions to remove the tyrant from office. There are some that may think that tyrant does not apply to Canale. I beg to differ because by definition tyrant is exactly what he has become.

Realistically! None of any other group ever aquainted with Canale knows why your Group ND TEAM see' him so Dastardly! Somehow after all this campaigning You have not reached the other side.

Show us the reasons Canale should not be our choice against your situations. So far there is a weak argument for the Rich Delaney and party. Thanks. Just asking. It's only political.

 

[pjirish317]

It's appaernt to me that canoli thinks that he has his finger on the pulse of Fleet Service and thinks he knows what will be best for us. The only thing that he should have his finger on is the EJECT button. Clearly we in Fleet Service here at US, and both groups at UA have made our voice heard. And it is for ND08, not canoli and crew. I hope there are those at the international level that will recognize this and support us. Time will tell if the whole district141, and those at the international level are as corrupt as we think they are. This vote is a milestone. Lets send a clear message to district141 and the international that canoli is NOT WANTED ANYMORE! So, please, everyone, get out and vote.

Well for one reason he shouldnt be leadign the IAM is because he has sold out the members numerous times. Lets see, 2003 a good example. He sold out nearly a few cities without regard then had the b@!!s to raise dues. then after he ALLEGEDLLY said the concession stand is closed, 2005 came around and he graciously agreed to contract out the remaining stations, counting the ones that were mainline express with a top rate of 13.01 an hr. then had the guts to raise the dues again. Oh yes HE HAS FAILED THE MEMBERSHIP TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN. the time to replace ol canary bird is NOW NOW NOW The ND08 at least has heard the members and know what they want. Oh yes, canary gave out the worst TA in the entire airline industry that includes the dumb stupid 60 day rule for fleet. What other group at US let alone any other airline has that??? None Hope these are just some of the more reason to get rid of the canary bird and croonies

Chill,
"It's not the fact that management is trying to be sticklers now that upsets me, its the manner they are doing it in. They are threatening our JOBS over this."

chill,
WHERE'S THE BELOVED RR ON ALL THIS or ANY OTHER UNION STEWARD. First and for most YOU work in safe manner
and if management doesn't understand that . THEN have them put it in WRITING that THEY will be held responsible if you
get in an accident or get a speeding ticket from the city . THAT should back them down.

sidenote: FREEDOM before you get on your soap box about what a great guy RR is and YADA YADA YADA . save it no one cares what
you think . Your creditability as long since been lost.

 

[orioleman]

It looks like we need to have more communication with eachother about our methodologies if the company isn't going to analyze their system as a whole, and make drastic changes where they are needed, and not at the bottom. If we know what to expect coming in, we would be better at catching those stray bags that have been mixed in, where the locals are, where the connects are. We will have our runners off the gate faster, and our bag situation will improve!

I'm sick of 10th place, I want to be number one, but our inept management and non-communication are really making this difficult.

Well I can tell ya . when as a company You continue to run it as 2 seperate operations Your going to have problems. You can't

operate east hubs on a zone loading concept ( which by the way you use zones) and then run the west without zones. for more then

20 years we have had zone loading and as it has for other airlines works very proficiently . THAT'S why the airlines went to it.

But for pete sakes it took the wonder boys in IT over 2yrs to learn how to put a zone number on a bag tag.

Hey robbed,
Couldn't have summed it up better myself. Also one other thing . RANDY CANALE . HAS NO PROBLEM STANDING IN FRONT
OF HIS MEMBERSHIP AND LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH.

LITH you reading . You haven't been around the the great A** long enough to get screwed over by . but you will if he's around.

for once. I just wish you guys would listen to experience. this stuff isn't made up . IT'S FOR REAL

Good Job to the New Direction Team. I ask that this team stays organized and keeps fighting for the real change the IAM as a whole needs. The unfortunate thing about the IAM's structure is the many different locals and districts lodges it has, and almost each is as dysfunctional as 141. IAM Organizing, Education, support for Union friendly politicians, and Human Rights involvement are all suffering under the current GL leadership. The dues structure issue could be resolved by the GL itself but they would rather have members keep footing the bill much like airline management. I would ask that this well structured team continues to make the real changes needed. The root problem for each local and district lodge is all the dead weight at the top in the Grand Lodge. Change is needed for each GL Officer but especially in the Transportation Department and RR. Stay organized and keep fighting New Direction Team and it's supporters for real IAM unionism. The DL 141 election is just the beginning of what could be a real positive transformation that benefits all IAM union members for years to come. It may take some effort but the New Direction team showed that if the members want real change in the IAM then nothing can stand in the members way. Keep going IAM members and change the IAM from the top down.
