JCBA Negotiations and updates for AA Fleet

[WeAAsles]

Hey Kev if nothing is going on in your drive to organize Delta ramp maybe you can help Tim regroup the old AGW crowd and fire up that card drive over here?
TWU has only been at AA for almost 70 years and AMFA has been trying for 52 years now.
Absolutely no doubt NOW is finally the time I think it can be pulled off.

I'm sorry. TWU came to AA in 1946.

Happy Birthyear AA TWU. 70 full years.

Aw look at you two trying to tag team. That's cute.

Doesn't make integration any less interesting to me...

You and Tim. Me and 700. That's what a Union is about. Strength in numbers.

BTW so what Station did you apply to to work with us here at AA? I know a lot of people and can probably help you get in. I think you might be a DFW kind of guy?

 

[700UW]

I think he will go to ORD so he can hang with Tim and plot their coup d'etat of 141.

No thanks. I don't deal well with humidity (or the "Texit" crowd). Also already get my fill of MD-88's...

No ORD is going TWU. What with TWU and IAM 141 the only airline ground worker Unions out there for major carriers, where do you think he'd chose to go when the time comes?

He hates IAM 141 and I don't think he's a fan of the TWU either? Maybe CWA agent? Nah. He's not a fan there. He's also said bad things about the IBT so becoming a Trucker might be out.

Maybe he can get an electricians license and go IBEW? Probably find something to hate about them too though?

 

[700UW]

Tim did support the IBT and the USWA before and lost both times, lol.
 
And he started FSU-Fleet Service United, and the AGW-Allied Ground Workers and unsuccessfully tried to the IBEW to raid the IAM at US before.

Half right: not a fan of the leadership of 141 or the previous TWU ATD regime...

Well nothing you can do about that from the outside looking in. And IMO YOU are not doing a very good job of trying to come in out of the cold.

 

[Kev3188]

They're not doing a very good job of demonstrating the value proposition of representation.

 

[700UW]

Well it looks like your side is not doing a very good job at signing cards.
 
It takes two to tango.

So forget it then, drop it. They don't have to live up to your expectations when it's you who needs an "employment contract" at your airline. My opinion is you need them more than they need you. Spin your wheels and keep looking for someone you think is the right shoe size then.

Good luck with that.

Touché. Has Kev cleared the deck? Has he gotten 100% of the people he works with to sign and send in cards? After that has he flown to other places to help them get cards?

No one ever wants to look in the mirror these days.

 

[Tim Nelson]

I know im crazy but i think you upped the ante responding to your own post.

Hate to disappoint the HR teams that lurk here (hi guys!), but it's getting back to where it needs to be...
