for those of you that haven't seen the tulsa "scare you into a yes vote" video here it is. (14 min long). total bs video! another attemp to get that last minute yes vote. that guy should be ashamed of himself for doing this. they all should! what a joke!
i hope that people understand that what he says about the part of us working on the gen aircraft is only a conformation. NOTHING in writing. unless it's in writing is not true and they don't have to own up to it. also the part on the rif about you "virtually" bumping through a station you never set foot in is a violation of the people at that stations senortiy right. Plus they aren't following the propper rif procedure set for by ruling (and aa agreeing to it) from the bs rif that went down in 03. if you take a downgrade to osm, you would have to be recalled to a mechanic postion. just as in 03. there was never the optin to downgrade, get riffed again and be able to bump the system after that. why would they let you, have to pay you more, and all the money they would have to spend on badges and background checks that would cost them more money in the end when they already are paying you less money. do you really think that will happen? something to keep in mind as you VOTE NO! just another scare tactic to get more yes votes by the international. remeber that they don't care about you, they only care about the dues coming in. if the contracts are thrown out we don't have to pay dues and we will have a chance to get rid of the twu for screwing us all these years. by bring us this f**king bs contract the twu should be gone just for that reason alone. in no way did little "fight like hell" for us at all. he's only helping himself and his $200k plus salary. don't be fooled.
don't vote yes and bind over and take it in the a$$ to throw YEARS of work rules and agreements away. don't vote yes to desecrate our profession here at american and set a precedence for future contracts. if the judge throws the contracts out, remember we still have to negotiate for another contract. we have a chance to fight even more and maybe get something better. the future of the amt profession here at american is at stake. fight for it, fight for those that will be on the street, for your future retirement, for those that have a chance to be recalled to come back to something better, and fight for your career. never give in/up and just settle for something cause you're scared of what might happen.
i'm proud to say that i voted NO. i'm probably gone anyway and i'm still not willing to settle for some bs contract. i'm praying for those of us that are going to be affected and our familys that have to endure this as well. it will be hard but you will survive this.
don't give in, don't give up, and fight for what you belive is and fair. don't be scared, vote NO.
