The IAM is losing members left and right and the fact that they made Tony an officer is a joke. It just goes to show that if you have a lot of power in a city, especially PHL because of its size and rebellious nature, then you will be rewarded by the IAM as long as you continue to tow the IAM line.

700, Thank You! for telling it like it is......700UW said: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.

The only problem I have with that is that my sources tell me that they can't find it in the contract where catering is untouchable and cannot be outsourced at a later date. Can someone please help me out on this issue ?insp89 said:700, Thank You! for telling it like it is......

Oh I'm so CONFUSED once again. The sad thing is the dues paying members will never really NO the TRUTH with the iam behind the door negotiating tactics.EVILE...what you should be concerned with is the company's consistent return of boeing 737 aircraft which are being done in good ole CLT.....i see a back door payback to CLT for all the militant horsecrap from years gone by.....you think when the boeings are almost gone they'll send a bus track your way????DR.EVIL said:So pit remaining opened was negotiated by bill and frank? We all thought is was a final offer and the company wanted to keep pit open. What else did we lose for that? Maybe skill pay, license pay, shift differential, holidays,3rd sh lunch, or maybe all was NEGOTIATED away because of dissension amongst our proud proffesional negotiators. :down: The whole group of you are PATHETIC and could not NEGOTIATE your way out of a wet paper bag!!Oh I'm so CONFUSED once again. The sad thing is the dues paying members will never really NO the TRUTH with the iam behind the door negotiating tactics.

They walk around the hangar saying YEEEEESSS, YEEEESSS!! The sooner the better. Then the old yes voters can have whats left!! Many of us still don't care anymore!! 😉Easier to stay on the sidelines...instead of getting involved? Ask the F/S agents from MYR,ILM, and Lord knows how many other small stations about how they feel about delibertly being placed in a local 4-5 hrs away from their city....with the intent to make it so difficult to get to their local that they couldn't be involved. Local meeting scheduled at 0900 and you gotta drive 4+ hrs to get there? Get involved you say...get up once a month at 0300 to attend your local (you cant get there by air). Oh, and drive past a local in RDU which is only 2 hrs away from where you live. Ask the AGC why and the reply I got was....they need you in the local you were assigned. Ask how can we get it changed to the local that is closer to us? Reply...I'll check into that. Never got a reply (as with many other questions) You want to know what I think of the IAM? I'll give you a hint. The feelilngs are = to those that I have about US management....present and past.700UW said: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.
