What AMFA has done?
Lets see, got totally outsmarted at NW and gave up the certification after the merger with DL, how do you take a membership out on strike with no strike fund and no resources?
They had to rely on handouts from the UAW and others. They had to have known that NW was training scabs to replace them.
Has such weak language that AS closed their OAK heavy maintenance base and over 200 mechanics lost their jobs.
Lost a major status quo case with Atlantic Coast Airlines, where the court ruled that status quo now doesnt apply to newly organized workers, (that was never the case until AMFA sued ACA and lost).
Has some of the worst scope language in the industry, WN has like 600 planes and only four lines of mtc are done in-house.
And they treat the non-mechanics as second class citizens, the union was started by a meat cutter who worked for AA as a mechanic in the 60s for less than two years and then sucked off the A&Ps along with Kevin McCormick.
Let the flames begin!
The reason the pilots and fas are separate is because the DOL recognizes them as skilled labor and the AFA is now part of the CWA as they couldnt survive on their own.
The CWA had no votes casted as they dont represent ANY Mechanic and Related in the industry, the vote was between the IAM and IBT, not the CWA or AMFA.
