Maintenance bases and outstations

[Buck]

Once again you circumvent the truth.

I have been through three mergers with the IAM and my seniority was protected and DOH was used.

Why do you keep insisting to misinform about TWA?

TWA and AA went to arbitration, just like the Pilots, Flight Attendants, Ramp, every unionized group. The arbiter made the decision, the IAM presented its case. An independent person made the decisions. So did ALPA fail too?

TWA had to give up its LPPs in order for AA to buy them or they would have went out of business.

And stick to the topic, instead of trying to insult and deflect.

The IAM is for Allegheny Mohawk, the TWU is Allegheny Mohawk as long as no member is harmed.

How will this work out?

It will have to follow McCaskill-Bond, if an agreement cant be reached it goes to arbitration.

Well I would not even begin to guess what will happen in the event of a merger I will tell you that the twu would sale their own mothers to protect their dues base so goodluck to you because you will need it.

Correct, however once there the arbitrator can use several different methods of integration that meet the technical bar of "fair & equitable" but may be anything but, depending on one's perspective.

Was McCaskill-Bond used with TWA?

Was McCaskill-Bond used with TWA?

No, it wasn't around back then. McCaskill-Bond is because of TWA

TWU/IAM went to arbitration.

ALPA/APA and APFA/IAM were imposed by APA/APFA

AA's non union groups integrations were imposed by AA

Yes, ALPA did fail... see recent loss of DFR suit.

TWA went out of business.
The IAM gave up the LPPs because AMR told them that if they didnt they would get pennies on the dollar for what TWA owed them. TWA owed the IAM money for the IAM Pension fund and leased equipment that the IAM owned and leased to TWA.

And yet when it comes to having to representing a non-member in a potential Right-To-Work State, they spend millions in due payers hard earned money to fight the Right-To-Work Law. How Ironic is that?

Right to work laws do not apply under the railway labor act. Are you referring to workers represented by the IAM outside of industries covered by the RLA?

I know that Josh, but that doesn't stop the IAM, TWU, AFL-CIO ect.ect. from spending money to fight it.


I never mentioned those legalities of the RTW Law, I was only discussing political funding to fight the law in every state it is proposed.

Everyone is SO SMART here, I am impressed.

 

[AA89]

Yet another flaw in the RLA. Anyone care to explain the logic of forcing someone to belong to a union as a condition of employment?
A double slap in the face when the employee has lost all faith in that union.

 

[700UW]

The RLA allows a closed shop, it doesnt force one, that is negotiated between the company and the union.

And one doesnt have to join the union under a closed shop, they just have to pay whats germane to the CBA.

No one should ride for free.

And is it fair that unions have to represent non-members who dont pay dues who are covered under the NLRA?

The IAM and IAMNPF are two totally separate entities, the IAMNPF is managed by a trustee appointed by the board who is made of of IAM appointees and the appointees from the companies who participate in the fund.
