Mechanic Teamsters card drive?

[Desert Snake]

Are you guys (the a&ps) ready to get rid of I'll Ask Management?

IBT in the airlines, let see.

CO-farms out all overhauls, except some c-checks, same at UA and UPS.

And of course you know how much work you didnt have when the IBT was at HP.

I've been in this Union for 25 years. I'll keep my defined benefit pension and our scope thank you.

The pension is not very impressive and the scope has alot of bankruptcy things that really stink. Nobody is saying you have to give up what scope there is. The current contract is a foundation to improve on. The IAM is way too comfortable and seems to have forgotten who works for who. Someone fresh could do us some good.

As a current ibt member at UAL, and having been under both IAM and AMFA before that, the teamsters are BY FAR the worst of the three.

There is Alot to think about for this VOTE, its easy to Be An ARMCHAIR Q/B. Think about it, what would the AMFA , TWU or IAM Org's do for Our Position? We will have to go with The BEST Contract taking The M&R US/AA People Forward. The IAM Contract VS The TWU M&R Contract. Have You all Compared? These TWO Animals? We are doing that as WE speak. You also have to consider How many Mechanics will be laid off? What Rules? If they Null The TWU AA contract then Where does Seniority Play out? Do The AA Mechanics get stapled to the Bottom of the List> HUMM lots to think about. Mr Eagle

Been tried here before. The IBT will never get anywhere here. AMFA maybe. But the IBT, not a chance.
