There is pending legal action with respect to the conduct, and outcome, of the most recent vote. For reference see: http://www.twu562.org
While no one should or would contest the results of any transparent vote which is the result of a legitimate, democratic process; no person should be forced to accept the results of a process imposed on them which they claim to be tainted.
Those that claim a lack of tranparency with result to this process and outcome require that an independent trier of facts intervene and issue such judgements as are necessary for this outcome to be deemed legitimate.
While there are those that will attempt to link this process with other personal, or Corporate objectives; the fact(s) is/are that if the results of this "referendum" are deemed to be valid, the 49% that lost a debate on a level playing field must come together with the 51% that won and continue the larger game. However, if the process and/or results are deemed to have been flawed: the only logical result will be the same type of extension approved by AMR for the APFA. Having granted an extension to the APFA, there is no ''compelling" reason for the failure to allow the TWU M&R to re-open and extend their voting process for some determined period of time so that the results can be validated and ALL prospective voters afforded the opportunity to validate an agreement that all must live with.
To the end that we eliminate any "grassy knolls" the folowing action(s) is/are recommended:
1)Everyone that feels the outcome for the M&R vote was "tainted" should secure any and all material from the AAA (American Arbitration Association) and/or the TWU(Transport Workers Union), as well as, any and all "electronic" transmission(s) between the source and the AAA and the TWU.
2)The retention of any and all such records, as may be directly or tangentially referenced within those records, to include: the TWU International,the TWU Air Transport Division, the TWU Local and/or the respective officers of such local and/or such communication(s) electronic or otherwise that occured between members of and/or elected officials of the TWU reasonably having the same ingrediants.
3)Specifically, each and every "person" should retain such documentation as is in their possession to include correspondence related to, or generated in the course of the performance of, any and all duties required as relates their elected or appointed position within any section, branch, body and/or subdivision of the Transport Workers Union of America.
