Iam Really Is A Scab Union

[700UW]

NWA Mechanics Propose IAM Concessions
Approximately two weeks ago in federally-mediated negotiations with Northwest Airlines, AMFA agreed with the company’s target of reaching a total of $1.1 billion in concessions from all its unions.

However, they did not agree on the proposed allocation of concessions, which Northwest based on each group’s relative position in the industry. The Mechanics representatives made their own allocation proposal to Northwest management which would require IAM members to subsidize a smaller sacrifice from the Mechanics. For District 143 members, the Mechanic proposal would more than double what Northwest is seeking.

A comparison of what Northwest is seeking to what the Mechanic representatives are offering for you to sacrifice is below.

NWA Proposal AMFA Proposal
IAM $107 million per year $256 million per year
AMFA $176 million per year $156 million per year

700UW,

Spin this all you want. The bottom line is that the IAM is guilty.

Everyone knows it and you look like an idiot trying to defend the IAM.

 

[BottomFeeder]

Alpa crossed picket line at NWA also.

Sympathy strikes are not allowed under the RLA.

And the IAM was all ready performing the work and now that NWA is using the exsisting contract language the workers have to perform the work that is under their scope language or be subject to discipline.

The difference is the language is in the IAM contract, it is not in the ALPA contract.

And you still have not answered the questions feeder.

700UW,

Stay on the topic please.

"IAM Is A Scab Union"


What jobs are being struck?

Who is now doing those jobs?


Go ahead and be the village idiot and try to defend them.

 

[700UW]

Well if they are scabs I guess you would know from your experience of being one in 1992.

IAM FLeet service has done pushbacks in over 90% of the NWA system and the contract language permits them to do it at the rest of the stations now as the AMFA contract does not contain pushbacks anymore.

Yeah, after they went on strike and NWA imposed that new language.......

700UW,

What happened to UNIONISM? Labor movement and such that you preach?

 

[700UW]

The workers are doing their jobs that is contained in their contract's scope language.

Funny in 1992 I did not see Cleaning of A/C in ALPA's scope, but yet you did it when there was not utility on duty during the strike?

And as an ALPA member you can tell the whole board about the lack of unionism and the everyman for themself philosophy.

Funny I don't see any MDA mechanics getting lawyers to sue ALPA and what of the RJDC suing ALPA?

Certainly a lot of ALPA members suing the association.

Don't worry 700UW will let the facts get in his way

 

[700UW]

Actually both events occured at the same time.

And the IAM contract language was not changed.

And under the Railway Labor Act NWA was free to impose new working conditions to the AMFA represented employees as well as AMFA being able to withdraw their services.

 

[700UW]

Dont worry bottom, we all know your version of the facts.

Since you ran to cross the picket line and perform struck work.

Please stay on topic

When you become the moderator then you can tell the boards what do to do.

So I heard you are going to MSP and DTW to help out NWA.

ALPA Will Not Honor AMFA Strike
ALPA released the following press release August 19:

Bloomington, Minn -- The Master Executive Council (MEC) of the NWA chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int'l has decided that NWA pilots will not honor the picket lines of striking NWA employees represented by the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Associaiton. Union leaders judged that a sympathy strike action was not in the best interests of NWA pilots and other NWA employees.

"I am deeply disappointed the parties were unable to reach a negotiated settlement," NWA MEC Chairman Capt. Mark McClain said. "The current environment requires labor costs to be part of an overall solution. Unfortunately, Northwest management continues to overplay its hand by demanding labor costs well below its competitors."

ALPA has stated since April 2003 that NWA management and all NWA employees would need to participate in a joint solution to help the Company overcome its financial difficulties. NWA pilots acted in December 2004 when they agreed to provide NWA with $265 million annually in wage, work rule and benefit changes.

"There is still time to secure our Company's future, but it will require a combined effort by NWA employees and management," McClain said. "Union leaders and senior management must meet face to face and hammer out a joint solution now. It will not be simple or painless. Everyone, including management, will need to share in the sacrifice."

The NWA chapter of ALPA represents 5,700 NWA pilots. Founded in 1931, ALPA is the world's oldes and larges pilot union representing more than 64,000 pilots at 43 airlines in the United States and Canada.

Are you talking about the IAM? I AM not a member of the IAM! B)

Yeah I would also ban you just like Lavman was.

How long was it till you switched your handle to 700UW from Lavman?

 

[700UW]

Nope, talking about you being an ALPA member making a secret deal with US Air for ALL pilots to get paid regardless of they flew or not as long as ALPO told their members to cross the IAM picket line.

Lets see US parked all the F28s, F100s, DC-9s, MD-80s and 737-200s and all ALPO pilots got paid.

The IAM has made no such secret deal at NWA and they are only doing the work contained in the exsisting scope language in the NWA/IAM Fleet Service CBA.

Can you say the same of ALPO in 1992?

And why did ALPA not honor the AMFA picket line?
