Unions and US DOJ vs AMR/UsAirways

[Listmeplease]

Seems to me that the unions of American Airlines and Usairways can lobby hard against the DNC and The White House to make this a political issue and get the stupid lawsuit to go away. We will see if these Unions has balls or any power. What are you all paying union dues for anyway?

Flamebait.

What does the DNC have to do with the DOJ?

Another wasted thread.

The lawsuit is what it is, and its not going away anytime soon.

Listmeplease . Why would a Union support a Company and Merger when they won't support them by bargaining in Good Faith ? The Executive Branch of Gov. is not going to get involved with a Airline Merger or is the DNC, that's why there is a DOJ. WE 'LL pay Union Dues to protect US against IDIOTS like U . Now go away and see if you have made your flight.Contracts NOW ! Merger LATER !

You need to retake that high school civics class.

You did go to high school?

Hint....the Attorney General is nominated by the president and serves at the pleasure of the POTUS. The DOJ is an executive department whose chief executive is of course the POTUS.

The DNC has NOTHING I repeat NOTHING to do with the merger process.

I did not say it did. However, since you have brought it up.

Word is that the unions at LCC and AMR have been briefed to stand down any public displays at disapproval of the DOJ's actions.

If true, who do you think put out those orders?

Which BTW, is a gross violation of the 1st amendment.

Knock yourself out Nic, your personal 1st Amendment rights are intact and exercisable. As to your schooling us on Constitutional rights, I only hope your knowledge base is a little better than your RLA interpretations. RR

I got a pretty good handle on the RLA.

Seems a union owes a DFR to it's membership. Would you not agree?

As far as I'm concerned, the company will not bargain with my union so why support management who will walk away with millions, let them rot in hell.

I understand your point of view, but tell me please, of which union are you a member?

Maybe...just maybe, the companies felt it was better to have one collective voice putting out the message, rather than having everyone running around with their heads cut off putting out misinformation.

Do you even know what the first amendment is?

It only restricts the government from preventing free speech, a company is free to put restrictions on its employees on speaking out in the press and other venues.

Can you yell fire in a crowded movie theater?

Can you curse on regular broadcast TV?

He's insinuating that the govt are the ones telling them not to publicly trash the doj

 

[700UW]

The government has done no such thing, the APFA I believe has or is going to file a brief with the court.

And Nic, I never mentioned in the post about the DNC.
