JCBA Negotiations and updates for AA Fleet

[Kev3188]

So explain precisely what a GC does in the IAM?

Everything, really...

In a hub or gateway, it may literally be a committee; in a line station, you're usually a one man band. I've done both.

 

[Worldport]

Basing it on a mixture of both. Not contempt for him or anyone actually. For the guy you're talking about though I don't think he's talented in understanding his contract and he dismisses most items in the negotiations as the "small items"

No absolutely not someone I want to represent me at all. No experienced Union man would call anything in a CBA a small item (including bulletin boards)

Plus the things he's done (particularly on the No Way page) I don't think he even deserves to be in a Union much less represent one.

Weez I actually think he keeps the union in check, you are a union guy I'm not. Your way of thinking we wouldn't be celebrating  the fourth of July. Just because the union says something doesn't mean they're right they are a for profit  business. Even you admit there should have been a vote for the association. The union relies on apathetic members like me thank god there are members like Tim

Grievance committee is responsible for handling step two of the grievance procedure.

 

[Tim Nelson]

It may be  the quicker way to go

They are good to go if they deliver that $30 no concession contract like they say they are by mid fall. Im not so sure of it but ill now be able to expedite booting this 2 headed beast off the property or off its butt if they are still fizzling out by late fall. Based on everyone ive talked to, nobody likes the Association idea, especially cuz nobody voted upon it. Klemm may have done us a favor as canale did when he removed me. Nonetheless, his retaliation was anti worker and disappointing. Im gonna have to see if mx would be willing to join us by christmas if i have to engage this to get our money. In the meantime, ill now focus on educating the membership thru educational videos. The alternative are the cheesy union updates. Ill go light on the weasle.

700--

Well your structure is different then ours. So Kev out of curiosity what do you think about what they did to Tim?

The Weez is alright, I don't understand him sometimes he expected a contract quick around May. when we didn't  one he didn't seem frustrated he was behind the negotiation  team 100% loyalty maybe. I just can't be loyal to an organization that does some shady crap. I do think the negotiators are doing the best they can, but if something isn't working I'm for changing it

If it's as straightforward as excising him for speaking up/out, then I think it's f'ed up.

 

[700UW]

He was removed as there was never an election.

 

[Worldport]

He was removed as there was never an election.

 To be fair Tim should answer that question too. He can also say the B6 and DL people should look at him as a martyr

 

[Kev3188]

He was removed as there was never an election.

Why wasn't an election held originally?

Why wasn't he able to stay in his spot until one was held?

 

[700UW]

You will have to ask the district that question.

 

[WeAAsles]

Kind of knew you'd have strong feelings about it when it came to Tim.

Oh well. That's how the crows fly sometimes.

 

[Kev3188]

I'd say the same thing if it was you...

union politics imo
