As I sit down and review the many posts over the last 180 days I have noticed the vast majority of the Amfa posts have no substance! The majority does nothing but complain about the TWU! Most have never held office or care to. They have a mentality that is designed for one purpose only. That is to live in a world that breeds hate and discontent! It won’t matter who represents them! It won’t take long before these same individuals are scrutinizing anyone who represents them! The major difference will be that the majority will be on layoff with 10 year recall rights which in effect guarantees Amfa will never be removed from the property! You need to look why they quit servicing after the fact! Reality is, that they do not want to! If you come back you might work to remove them!
I understand the concept of mechanics in one Union, But at what sacrifice? Back in the 60’s this idea would have worked. In today’s environment with the people who hold office in Washington and the direction of sending more jobs outside the country under the concept of bettering everyone else’s life in turn will enhance ours concept, we are under extreme pressure to change how we operate. All you have to do is look at the consolidations of the Unions and see the concept will not work! Everything you see or hear has the same theme! We need support and resources to fight the growing changes. Just look at the steel industry and you will see what we have to look forward to.
AMR is the largest enterprise in today’s aviation world! The average fleet size is 1/5 the size. No wonder we are under extreme pressure from all sides. If we are to have a fighting chance to survive and prosper we need the full resources we have available. The AFL-CIO is 13 million strong as one voice! You have to take notice! The politicians and AA did last Year! Amfa has 3 contracts they are negotiating but as yet has made no effort in supporting their goals! When was the last time you seen an informational picket at Horizon or any of the others? But you can guarantee delle will show-up at a Hotdog function and give lots of money!
I want you to go as a member for the first time and review the many postings over the last 180 days and see what I am talking about! Amfa members do not want you to see their track record, so they don’t enter that realm of information! Ask yourself a simple Question! If they can’t stand up to the test here of supporting an organization they seem so desperately wanting, and do not know the facts than what makes you think they will in the future? The key to Representing is Representing! Something the Amfa members are unwilling to do!
Get the Facts, review the Facts and you will see thru the smoke and mirrors of AMFA’s world! A dream world that is un-attainable at this time and in the future.
I would like you to stop, spend several days looking over the many Amfa posts and see what I am talking about, ask yourself if this is what I really want in the future?
