Good union guys? Like Woodward? Balbo? Witt? Or the other IBT organizers.
I agree with in other there are a lot of scammers. I am sure we could all name a few. Many of the officers and reps now working at 591 were actively or tacitly supporting the IBT yet they were allowed to run for office and not brought up on charges by the TWU?
I expect that if, if AMFA gets in that the 591 reps will not fight the card drive and then if AMFA wins a representation election they will claim they were for an all mechanic union all along. Beware the politicians!
O/S
I know two of the names you mentioned and I believe they were in the IBT fight just for themselves. (1) is a great politician and talker.
the other from what I have seen and been told is just a big scammer.
I thought that the guys that we elected into Local 591 would be different but as of yet they have not impressed me, they still allow the scamming and without anyone having a vote gave themselves a pay raise. WOW just amazing!!!!! There are many here at AA who want a change, and if that is the case why don't we just let it happen,
let there be a vote !!!
If AMFA wins then it will show that the membership voted and made a choice. If the Assoc. or alliance wins then there can be NO MORE WHINNING.......
NO Charges should not be brought up on any members who for years paid into the TWU and had NO say what so ever.
The likes of Don V. and Gary Y., Bobby G., Drum, and the rest have screwed the membership again and again.
Supporting a union in which the officer don't even have to show up for work because they are or have a deal with management,
and when the TWU members feel like they are being screwed as in this equity share fiasco they still don't feel they should come to the floor.
It's all on line, its virtual, just a game. They are in it for the money and the scamming. JMHO !!!!
I don't think that all the officers that are in supported the IBT, Maybe in Tulsa, not the line local I do know one that was an IBT guy.
I think the 591 officers just wanted to get back at the Intl. and they think that they can make a difference. The TWU is a machine and
the way to stop it is to just cut it off and dispose of it.
This assoc. and alliance what ever,is a scam, by the twu/iam to keep the dues coming in. Its only going to keep us down until most here retire, then the new generation will have to suffer with this.
There are guys who have been involved with unions who since being here at aa have not since they have seen what the TWU is all about.
There are others who I think would get involved for the first time if we get rid of the TWU.
I still don't get why you still support the TWU unless you are or have a deal where you get something, you know the IGM here at AA.
Pension/vacation/pay/Holidays/sick time/pv's/and much more... all have been let go by the TWU these things were fought for in negotiations in the past
by the unions and to have them now go away with little or no hope of them coming back, the TWU should be scorned and told to hit the road.
I support AMFA because I have a
HOPE that I can have a say,
attend negotiations if I want too, and
remove officers who don't look out for the best wishes of the members.
AMFA may not be the saving union some think it is,
But its a change that I think we should try, until we are proven wrong that they are NOT the union we thought and then we can again change. United changed twice, and I think they still are not happy. Its an industry thing.
AMFA at the NEW AA in 2014, sign a card and lets bring this to a VOTE !!!!!!
