Sell-out Union

[brownmech]

"The IBT's Airline Division leaders Clacy Griswold, Ed Gleason and Bob Fisher decided to trade away Aircraft Movement, (Towing and Taxi) to IAM Ramp Supertug crews.."

YES.......... This is just one example of how the teamsters are selling out the United Airlines
Mechanics and giving up jobs.
The teamsters have also gutted out the United Airlines contract and reworked it with weak
Scab language from continental airlines contract.
The scabsters had promised to utilize the best of both contracts from Ual and Cal and yet again their lies have been exposed as the current negotiations reveil we at United have been lied to by the Scabsters.
AA Mechanics, do not make the same mistakes UAL Mechanics did.

I guess I will repeat this too....

This accusation first came up a few weeks ago but I had not had the opportunity to learn the truth until very recently. According to both my SFO BA's, the company proposed an offer to the IBT leadership Ed, Bob, and Clacy. The offer was to trade away the aircraft movement function from mechanics to ramp in exchange for a sum of money to be distributed by the mechanics (they could not tell me the exact dollar figure). This offer was taken to the full rank and file negotiating committee who will ultimately decide whether or not to accept the offer. I was told the committee has not voted on the subject yet because they are waiting to see proposals on other economic subjects such as overall wage and benefit packages.

By the way, the movement function on behalf of the ramp was only for aircraft under TOW. Taxi would remain a mechanic function at all stations.


It was fairly simple to get a reasonable answer to this issue, I just had to find the time to do it. I would suggest you do this next time before spreading rumors.
