No political clout, no community clout (as in labor alliances) and last but not least no financial backing to mount a legal fight, is what you are peddling to the membership. You keep saying democracy and accountability will be Amp’s mantra; democracy and accountability are there in the TWU’s constitution. But because you have no patience and because you can’t do due diligence to recall an official and because you can only comprehend instant gratification, you push to decertify the TWU. Maybe you should be certified. You didn’t have the power to make any change while in office maybe because your views were not the consensus. With the country and the company in the financial situation that they are in, you believe in the illusive Snapbacks that were not gained by your beloved AMFA. You honestly believe that AMP can do it. There is a price to be paid for full retro pay. Maybe you see contracting out all the overhaul facilities, stores or facilities maintenance to get that retro pay. Without the TWU, all the overhaul facilities, stores and facilities maintenance would be gone. Evidently the loss of livelihoods is the best solution for the enhancement of the remaining few according to you.
TWU in lower case is child’s play.
kukuy,
kukuy,
Child's play? Coming from someone afraid to post their real identity. Point taken.
Political clout, no community clout and no financial backing? Compared to the twu's political clout? Compared to the twu's community clout? Compared to the twu's financial backing? Points well taken. Allow me to clarify your points.
Political clout: COPE money used to support ELECTED government officials that have done what to support my craft and class? Be specific here. Post those individuals whom our political clout is to be thanked for. I'd also like to thank those whom the twu has given money for but voted on Bill's/issues that have harmed my craft and class.
Community clout: Buying tickets to sporting events helps us how?
Financial backing: As in money to print colored flyer inserts for our voting ballots? You know, the ones urging us to vote yes on the t/a?
You really are in a world of your own if you think the twu has democracy and accountability. Explain how just those in our craft and class can recall an international officer.
You didn’t have the power to make any change while in office... This is the best quote. So much for real change from within. By the way, post here for all to read your ignorance on exactly what it is I failed to change? Make change in the international? Correct there boogieman. I NEVER had any illusion of changeing the unchangeable. However, I and those I ran with have changed for the better the LOCAL which we belong to.
Without the TWU, all the overhaul facilities, stores and facilities maintenance would be gone. Now THIS has to be the best quote of all time! You mean overhaul like MCI? Point well taken kukuy.
Evidently the loss of livelihoods is the best solution for the enhancement of the remaining few according to you. Again, your intelligence is off the charts!
GO AMP!
