Oh Where Oh Where Has The Iam Gone ?

[Tim Nelson]

This web site is not controlling me, I just enjoy showing posters like you when you are wrong. And to show how you can't accept personal responsibility for your actions, it is easier to blame others and stay on the sidelines and whine and complain instead actually getting involved and giving up some of your own time to make things better and effect change and have control over your destiny.

And I guess your word means nothing huh?

700, it is the Labor organizations job or should I say expertise to be
'smart enough' to not let apathy fail a group in the face of corporate greed but rather build solidarity that insures a strong union. Apathy is always a witness to a Labor organization that fails to build solidarity. The IAM failed in that, no question about it, even though I personally believe the IAM knows how to build solidarity but chose not to.

On the other hand, as a labor guy, I was impressed with Randy Canale's letter regarding a strike vote at United. I read passion in that letter and the type of solidarity from a leadership that seems doggedly determined to stand up against United's blatant attacks on workers. I understood his 'slow death' statement also as not being an alternative.

I hope that our union brothers and sisters at United, AMFA, IAM, AFA, ALPA, TWU, etc., make a stand while the whole nation is watching, a stand that turns the tide back to labor so that the working man can say 'I'm not afraid anymore'.

Tim,

I actually agree with you the IAM failed in the last round of concessions.

Your group was failed by members of your NC from a certain city who refused to let catering be outsourced with no job loss.

And the M&R group was let down by two certain people who wanted to ensure that their city's base remained opened (since that city was all ready downsized)and caused dissension amongst the NC to give a NO recomendation.

Over 5,600 posts in under 18 months.

That's over 10 posts per day, every day, including weekends, holidays, and vacations. 24/7.

Absolutely amazing. Must be an all-time record.

Your IAM dues money at work!

 

[700UW]

Don't think so.

So can someone please tell me who,what,when,where and why is the catering thing all about.
What is so sacred about catering ?

Go ask your representative on the negotiating committee from PHL.

Now is it that you don't want to answer the question or you dont know?
Not like you to pass things off like that!

Like I said, go ask Big Tony, Bob and Flynn, maybe they will tell you the truth.

Truth ? it was negotiated ( excuse me the companies final offer) why wouldnt everyone want to know ? isnt that why we pay dues ?

 

[700UW]

It was not all negotiated, it was a final offer, and you need to ask them, I know what happened but I am not a member of your group.

Has it ever crossed your mind that your repetitive posts do more damage to your union than helping it?
