Funny thing happen to me just now....I was catching up on the board and I had this de ja vu moment where I thought I was back in jr high reading the stuff kids wrote to each other on the bathroom walls...ya know when we were about 11.....then I quickly snapped by to reality and realized

...man....these are the people I actually have to work with....and then I had a beer....

I was reading your post and the first thing that came to mind was the childish crap written all over the PIT crew room, especially the mens room.

We will continue to stand strong... and undivided …

Roa ,

We are already divided. After reading the posts on here, sounds like we will be for a while....I am not advocating division....but there is a lot of anger out there and that, my redneck friend, does not bode well for unionism at all.

 

[JoeDirt]

Lets see Hmmmmm:
M&R voted on 4/3 and the official results were posted on 4/8.

We voted on 5/8 and now we are being told the results will be out on 5/15.

Whats the hold up? Makes you wonder don't it.

Division… is “your†perspective…

Incidentally…I’m ahh proud “redneck†…with absolutely no prejudices!

We, have our brothers and sisters behind us… all genders... races… creed…color... ‘n religions… they....will determine if there is division amongst us…just ask them!




P.S. O-Man where are yahh "

I hope the way this vote was run will be an eye opener for anyone that thinks our current IAM

leadership deserves to be left in office any longer. Now that the vote is behind us I hope everyone

will unite to overthrow the tyrant called Canale. Rise up my brothers and sisters and take control

of our future.

Roa,
I aim to be down those parts on June 12th, I think that's your voting day also. How bout 'throw down' on Thur or Fri night?

BTW, since for some reason this thing hasn't been ratified yet, I will speak about the vote. This thing passed and we all know that. I initially thought over 62% voted for it but after receiving more station counts, it appears this contract passed by 57% or less. Somewhere between 300-350 more Yes votes.
I don't have about a dozen station counts but I doubt it's more than a 350 difference.

At any rate, the reason why it is being held up from ratification is most likely procedural. If it goes another couple days it will push back the raise to another pay period.

Bagchucker: Our "nominations" went like this: When we first voted
some nominations were tied so the following month there was a runoff.
We showed up in force this time and think the vote was something
like 20 to 6 New Direction. Then we found out like you that our
nominations were disqualified. We asked how this had happened and
we were told that the results were sent in late by a local officer.

We contacted this person and they said that they had done everything properly.
Both faxing and mailing the results. So the AGC ( UA's VL) didn't bother to
send the runoff results in. But there was a whole month between the "faulty"
original vote and the runoff. VL didn't know that the original vote was tainted?
Well at any rate he didn't tell us.

It is hard not to read intentional foul play into this scenario. I guess we could
ask for some sort of official accounting. My motivation would be to expose
any bylaw violations and or ethical misbehavior and to punish the guilty
parties if indeed it was shown to be true. Each time after the vote VL
made a phone call to I assume either Canale or PF.

But as has been alluded to by those wiser than me that this whole thing with
the disqualification of the 12 stations might have been a ruse to complicate
the nominations and perhaps delay the whole process. Whether or not
that's true I recommend taking no other actions except to use this type of behavior
as ammunition for the up coming election. Thanks BF

Tim…

We got yer back… Brother… We’ll be ready…
Done spoke with tha boy’s.... 12th or 13th it is!

As far as this vote this vote goes… I hate to be a self proclaimed predictions expert… But… remember my post regarding this Tentative Agreement several weeks ago...

In my opinion… the outcome of this vote was carefully predetermined by skillful negotiators on both sides of the table!

50%, plus 1 member… in favor…is all that is needed for ratification.

The stage for this Tentative Vote was set several years ago, when Section 6 negotiations were denied for the West Group.

As you progress through the time line… from that point, it becomes apparent that…
Major Dispute/Strike scenarios, were completely avoided, and thus rendered useless.

These Transition Negotiations were weakened, due to the avoidance of section 6, per the Railway Labor Act as afore mentioned.

Now the question is… whom/who.... was/is at fault in this oversight?

Perhaps… some entity, with special interest within United Airlines?

I need feed back Members…voice your opinion!

"The United guys are very much heading in the direction of something that will really allow them to downsize the airline," he said. "We're talking about large capacity cuts. ..."


Wake up call. We had better hope this merger doesn't fly.

Fortune 500 companies in current UA and LCC hubs--ORD 20+, LAX 20+, SFO 20+, Clt 10+, PHL 10+, DEN 10+, PHX 4 and LAS 2.

So, if the new company were going to cut 1 hub...Bye LAS, 2 hubs Bye PHX.

Actually Phoenix has 6 Fortune 500 companies in 2008, unfortunately one of them--US Airways does not buy tickets.

I've seen it to often, to those in smaller stations or on the edge of ??'s
Get your checks next Friday your raise will not be in there and when or if
you see it... count the checks. There will not be many at your weekly hours.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong but you didn't believe and in doing so you aided
the ones' who need no aide.

We tried.

''Prez''- You come across as an articulate person and I wish you the best. I understand
your thought process. I wish PHX and LAS the best.


Thanks and hopefully not goodbye

WHY HASN'T THE t/a VOTE COUNT BEEN ANOUNCED?

Could it be another way of cheap suites saving the company money?
"Hey Al, we'll drag this out for another week to save you guy's that raise money",
meenwhile me and the belly warmer will head for the beach. The delay only means
you'll get your raise on the pay period four weeks from now.
Give me a break.........................See you in June cheap suites, don't forget to
start cleaning out your office.
