Former union leader crosses Northwest mechanics' picket lines

View attachment 3337

Hurley served six years as president of the Machinists union local that represented Northwest mechanics and ground workers until the mechanics voted in 1998 to break away and join the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association, an independent union not affiliated with the AFL-CIO.

Another proud day for the iam and afl-cio!!!

This doesn't really surprise me.

The Transport Workers Union of America AFL-CIO, held a job fair at MCI, I believe AVTECH or some other scab hiring outfit was there to take applications from laid-off TWU members.

Recruiting Scabs, Becoming Scabs, makes no difference to the AFL-CIO selfish leaders.

Now we can see the true caliber of IAM "Leadership"-SCABS!!!

Now this is indeed an embarassment for the IAM!!!!! Any IAM members opinion on this? His excuse is he did not believe in AMFA as the article states? Any different than if the ramp would strike and he would cross an IAM picket line to work, I would think not!! This man is truly a SCAB!!!! A little damage control from the IAM is in order perhaps?

Dear Mike,

SCABmobile and SCABcam are coming to your neighborhood soon!!!

Hugs and Kisses,

Hey! Don't paint all of us IAM members @NW with the same brush as Hurley. Scabbing is scabbing.

This is further proof of the disconnect between the IAM leadership's (past and present)mentality and that of the "floor."

Kev3188,

I am not painting you with this brush, your IAM local is doing this for you, not I.
I know most 'union' minded people 'hurl' at these actions and I do not blame you one iota.

It is what it is my Friend, not of my making.
Maybe you should share your discontent with your union reps!!

Take Care,
B) BigE

I think the IAM has already damaged their own members by selling out their own during US Airways 2 trips thru bk! I think theyre beyond damage control!

Like the twu, the iam is nothing but a tool of management. Over on the iam sponsered 'Nuts BB, the web-scabmaster has a statement that the iam has never agreed to outsourcing. Doubletake....huh???? I wonder who let the DC-10's and 747's go to SASCO in 1995? I know, it had to be AMFA's fault. :blink: :blink: :blink:

Would you prefer that those IAM members who are walking the line and holding those signs in support of AMFA stop doing so just because they belong to the IAM?

I agree with Kev3188. A few bad apples doesn't spoil the whole bunch.

 

[PlayTheOdds]

Do you guys realize that people really don't care about your unions? In a time that unemployment is on the rise and the current beating the us is taking from hurricanes leaving hundreds of thousands of people homeless and jobless your views on Northwest are mute. I wonder if Northwest timed this strike to correlate with these natural disasters to make AMFA look like fools.

Did I implicate otherwise?

What is your point Red Tail Bear?
