Replace Canale

[hack73]

IT is time to replace Randy Canale , he is supposedly upset that the vote is going no and he is upset that the totals are being put out. It is time to replace this whole negotiating committe and start with some new faces and ideas.

I agree on this......no doubt a certain two in CLT will be back to throwing bags.

If Randy is crying over word Spreading about the numbers.. Then maybe just maybe he should abide my his and the IAM s own bylaws..
which states voting on a ratification of contract will be HELD ON THE SAME DAY SYSTEM WIDE..
Sorry Randy that its not going your way.. Maybe this should tell you we are tired of your lies and B... S...

Just posing a question........

If 7000 angry union members contacted the top
and let the top know that the membership find
Canale an ineffective leader because he promotes
agreements that are against the core ideas of unionism.
He Breaks the By-laws he works under. And, his seat
on the Board of Directors at United could be a conflict of
interest if he is tying our transition to a possible merger
with United. Do you think they would listen?

As for being angry about the vote totals getting out he should be happy because as the totals came out and showed that is was going to be a strong No it would have encouraged people that wanted it to pass to get out and vote for sure and people who were thinking No would be less likely to vote because they figure it was a done deal. This vote total just shows that the IAM wasn't even close to what we expect from them. They are totally out of touch with the people they're representing. Obviously they understand the companies side of this but not ours. Time for a REVOLUTION!!!!!!

However if my comprehension of the by laws is correct I'm guessing they could order a re-vote based on the same day rules that are supposedly in the By-Laws.

If that happens, then everyone on this property should get off their collective a#sses and vote it down 95% or better and really make him look like the company stooge he is----

It's time to take the stand now and show our new found solidarity---EAST/WEST/SOUTH

I'm guessing, just like IAM did to fleet in 1998/1999, when the first deal is turned down, they will rearrange the deck chairs and present it for a new vote.

The truth of the 1998/1999 proposals were they were cost neutral relative to one another - the approved 1999 t/a did not cost US once cent more than the 1998 proposal. IAM just made it seem that way.

They'll do the same thing this time. Reheat the old proposal, and tell you it's a better deal.

Looking down the line - fleet needs to vote out every D141 officeholder. the problem is, UA fleet and c/s are in d141, and they hold the controlling votes.

This is one more reason IAM put US mechs and US fleet in different districts. A combined US mech/fleet vote has the potential of upsetting the UA applecart.

Ask yourself: If fleet and c/s can be in one district, why can't fleet and mechs?

Of course Canale is upset. The station by station posting of vote totals give him NO CHANCE to steal the election. Well he could still steal it but then he'd have a Federal Investigation on his hands.

However if my comprehension of the by laws is correct I'm guessing they could order a re-vote based on the same day rules that are supposedly in the By-Laws.

It's a really sad commentary that as one of the lower paid workgroups in the Airline business you not only can't trust the Company But you can't trust your own leadership.

To all who voted you have taken the first step in retaking control of your union and your work life.

Bingo!

It's the system, and Boss Canale is just a useful Puppet. I am however 'deeply concerned' about his involvement sitting on the United Board of Directors. The IAM INTL is the authority and is a very top heavy union where all the money goes to the INTL. It wouldn't matter who you put in, laptops control this Labor organization.

However, what's important is that the membership sticks together with Plan A.
Someone asked me the other day what the IAM's plan B is? I told him, you just seen it, it was this 11 page enema. The simple fact is that while the workers were and are united on Plan A [insert a fair and equitable agreement here] the IAM defaulted to US AIRWAYS plan, which was plan b [insert an extension of a bankruptcy contract and throw all benefits under the bus].

The I Am Management union is going to have to 'move up' to Plan A to get this thing done.

O.K! We know the IAM/company vote is about done. Did the union KNOW this was going down from day one? Yes, I am almost assured of the Trigger Dates. It was only a means of reflecting the general consensus. Both company and union IAM knew this was a NO deal. This must be some kind of "Kangaroo Court" arrangement the lame union agrees to when they then feel both us/awa will then agree to the next Round of DELAYS into the COC. Isn't that the term someone gave to the IAM years ago about "IN BED WITH THE COMPANY". This is about to be nixed!
If the IAM does NOT agree to represent WEST AWA in NEGOtIATIONS of SECTION 6: We the members of the current AWA Fleet members, will have the RIGHT to SUE the IAM for non representation. The IAM will NOT! be permitted to sit back and rely only on the ARBITRATION due respectfully the EAST US AIRWAYS fleet. But, they will be expected to also represent AWA in the meanwhile because it was always in the AWA contract. Let, us airways east go to courtwith the ARBITRATION, and, let AWA, WEST. go into SECTION 6. Or, there must be consequences towards the IAM.

Canale was not voted in and cannot be removed.
Canale replaced Peterpaul on the UA BOD and has been as much use as tits on a boar (both Canale and Peterpaul - past-present-future).

The IAM/Company and United Airline's Boss Canale, fully thought this was going to pass. They also intended to schedule PHX as the first hub to vote and were assured PHL was a Yes vote. There is no doubt of this. Hayden was convinced he was transporting Yes votes. I was told he quit transporting them when he found out he was bringing No voters over to the local.

One key person 'within' said this thing was going to be 'turn key'. As it turned out, the IAM/Company took a 'painful' beating on their Plan B contract. They need to recognize that they skipped Plan A and instead presented Plan B.
Plan A is where the workers are and will be, Plan A is "A Fair and equitable contract'. Until there is an agreement to implement Plan A, your company/IAM Bosses can forget about transitioning this company.
