What's new

Is this quote true?

-The members were told that if they did not vote Pass the "Last, Best and FINAL offer" that the sky would fall. The turd got voted down the sky did not fall. the Judge has pushed his decision back two more weeks, he enlisted the help of another judge to mediate it.
despite the fact that the company is being permitted to keep their Business plan secret several important points have been revealed that may change many of the YES voters minds.

-The company does not need any concessions from M&R or Stores to survive, some of our current terms may put them at a slight disadvantage but to date we have no proof of that. The RIFs that the Union proposed more than covered what the company claimed they needed. Freezing the DB pension, terminating retiree medical and all the other concesions were simply "Gross Overkill".

-The company was demanding $212 from M&R and $20 million from Stores even though they only claimed they needed $170 million from M&R and $18 million from Stores. Their excuse for the extra $41 million from M&R and $2 million from Stores? "We are taking 20% from everyone and 1113 requires us to take the same percentage from everyone".

-They voluntarily enterred BK and their objective is to come out of C-11 and earn more profits than any other airline by paying us much less than any other airline. Money would come directly out of our pockets and go into theirs so they can but 500 new airplanes and provide huge bonuses to management.

How's that?

Seems based off of your numbers you concede that the 2010 TA on cost out would have satisfied the company as a reasonable contract for us, but your "No vote" campaign nullified that. It would have given you a $2.00 raise for working the line would have given Informer and myself the satisfaction of equal pay to that of our peers within the bases. Seems now abrogation is pending unless the negotiation committees can pull a rabbit out of a hat. I often wonder what the objective is here, seems doing away with overhaul is a special project for some.....

Please Stop with your NONSENSE,We were getting nothing on that T/A!We are done with your and the TWUs
type of thinking.We want a Union that obtains the best WAGES,BENEFITSand WORKING conditions in the industry
The company plays people like you like a FIDDLE.Hopefully M&R on the way to better representation and you can lay your BOLOGNA on whatever is left of TWU at AA.

You were told to vote no because anything the judge imposes on us is temporary and he only is in control until the BK ends at that time the NMB takes back over and you will be back in negoiations if we have not come to a consenual agreement. The judge is aware of this and knows the company cannot afford to exit BK without long term aggreements, this is where are leverage exist, so while it is true he can impose the term sheet for a time it is also true that the company needs a long term agreement to exit BK so remain calm even if the judge impose the term sheet and keep the pressure on and for goodness sake quit listening to the twu stooges.

If this is not enough ask yourself why the Pilots & F/A's are not running for the hills like the twu, you have to know they are far smarter than little jim and the boys...

Temporary imposed company terms? Hmm, you see this as no big deal. So give us a deadline for a new contract based off your experience negotiating as if this were a brand new contract. Will it be 6 mos, 1 yr, or 6 yrs from the June 22, 2012 imposed company terms, how about 2019, 2021? Hey you can use your adage of (KISS) if you want, I would just like a timeline since you seem to know all about the process...thanks in advance
