With the vote gone yes for the IAM membership its funny the words of history are so true........... PT Barnum once said "a Sucker is born every minute"




For all the yes voters the no voters dont want to hear you complain over the next decade you lost that right by the way you voted.

Yes it has.

You have a bunch of worn out old men peeing their pants not even seeing the junior co-workers injury let along the entire industry or unionism as a whole making a mockery out of the founders who help make today’s generation life a little easier. This is an orgy for Glass.

Sir, I resent and am angered by your statement. My seniority number is in the top 150 system wide. I voted NO. All my career I have fought for myself and for those junior to me. Equality. That is all I have ever asked for. Treat me no different from what you treat the next guy. I've paid my dues by having put in 30+ yrs. I stand tall, and a YES vote really should have been my vote because it really would have made more sense for me personally. But no, I voted NO.... and then you make a remark like the above. And my pants are dry. :angry:
 
Spoken like a true

The Scab
by Jack London, (1876-1916)

After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a scab.

A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue.

Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles.

When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out.

No man (or woman) has a right to scab so long as there is a pool of water to drown his carcass in, or a rope long enough to hang his body with.

Judas was a gentleman compared with a scab. For betraying his master, he had character enough to hang himself. A scab has not.

Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage.

Judas sold his Savior for thirty pieces of silver.

Benedict Arnold sold his country for a promise of a commision in the british army.

The scab sells his birthright, country, his wife, his children and his fellowmen for an unfulfilled promise from his employer.

Esau was a traitor to himself; Judas was a traitor to his God; Benedict Arnold was a traitor to his country.

A scab is a traitor to his God, his country, his family and his class.

Author --- Jack London (1876-1916)

Not sure if this is a case of misplaced revenge, or what. Who is this "we"?, as in "we'll show you how to run an airline southern style". The arrogant, high-handed ( and yet curiously, demonstrably lacking in operational acumen ) corporate culture of the present "leadership" certainly bears NO resemblance whatsover to the Piedmont I knew.

You can take exception all you want but my words are no less true because for the most part the senior members voted to accept the unacceptable. You are now down to “5â€￾ holidays and a benefit package that Wal*Mart blows away. Working at U is no longer desirable except for the ones who became wealthy from a bunch of heartless employees afraid of their shadow. Blame me and not the Dave Siegel’s of corporate America. Blame each other while Glass basks in the millions handed him with the help of the gutless wonders who would make their forefathers hide in shame and total disgust of their offspring who live their lives full of fear easily and exploited by those of “perceivedâ€￾ power. Take exception all you want, sir. You are the one still there not I. I had more common sense and could see the future and knew that a heartless bunch would bring down on themselves hellfire. Now go to your place, that place of midnight weekends bumped from your premium job with a deplorable wage and unacceptable benefits where you can proudly say. I Have A Job. Take Exception All You Want, Old Man.
