TWU announced their campaign this week to represent FAs at NWA (AFA announced their campaign on September 14,2005).
It is my understanding that TWU once represented AA FAs (they voted to leave and are now represented by their own independent union?) and TWU currently represents AA mechanics.
Could those of you at AA who are past and present TWU union members comment on TWU representation (pros and cons), as well as, their representation during your concessionary negotiations and voting on concessions?
If TWU once represented the AA FAs - we would also appreciate comments on why the FAs chose to leave TWU.
We have a lot on our plate here at NWA and need factual information regarding TWU representation before this comes to a vote. Former North Central/Republic FAs were represented by AFA prior to the NWO merger, so their union and it's representation is familiar to many in our group already. But, TWU is a big question ....
If any of you could post information regarding TWU and it's representation, it would help us make the right decision. Thanks for any input you can provide our group regarding this issue!
