Us Airways Mechanics Do Not Expect Giveback Deal

[nycbusdriver]

it appears the days of IAM being on this property are closing fast. I also think Mang. is fully prepared for actions this week, I think it will become clear to Iam and the travl. public, that USAIR will continue to operate, without IAM .Just an opinion,

Management wasn't prepared for several dozen rampers calling in sick over Christmas, but you think they are prepared for the IAM walking out?

Management is only prepared to deploy their golden parachutes. That, my friend, is all they are capable of.

Colorado-based airline consultant Michael J. Boyd of the Boyd Group and other observers have said it is not clear that workers have the right to strike if the contract is nullified. But, Boyd said, whether US Airways machinists can walk off their jobs may not be that important because simply preparing for a walkout would be the beginning of the end for the airline.

"We're kind of talking about should we drill another hole in the bottom of the Titanic," Boyd said. "If you go on strike now, fine, but don't walk the picket line, just go to the unemployment office. . . . By the time they work out the logistics of it, US Air will be long gone."

Don't worry UAIR pilots, this ex-UAIR mechanic will check you out in a Cessna. It's destiny for all fellow airmen. My sheepskins look just like yours, only now I don't need them to have a better job. Now I use them for fun. Should have been in this game together. Thank you pilots unions and industrial unions. No professionalism here. Maybe next time.

Boyd is just doing favors so he can maintian his info flow.

Here in America we operate under the assumption that unless its expressly forbidden its allowed. So unless its clear that they can not strike then they can.

The RLA is clear in that once a company changes working conditions or pay that the workers can exercise self help.

What you all fail to realizes the title of this article is 100% wrong, Randy Canale does not Represent the IAM Mechanic and Related at US Airways, Randay Canale represent Fleet Service at District 141.

So the whole article is wrong.

The Mechanic and Related at US are District 142, not District 141.

SELF HELP YES; BUT, THE IAM OR THE STRIKERS CAN NOT PICKETT NOR BLOCK ACCESS TO COMPANY PROPERTY.
THE BEST THEY CAN DO IS DONT SHOW FOR WORK, SHOW UP AND DO NOTHING
( wich will get yoU fired) OR ,HELL WITH THE IAM TAKE WHAT THE COMPANY OFFER
wich is what most likely will happen at all stations except pit and maybe clt.

airplane mechanics are sick of the iam filosofy.

iam 🙁 :angry: :down: :down: :down: :down:

filosyfer: someone from filadefia??

Also, Rico,

US flies into 89 mainline stations, mechanics are at only 18 and they only do pushbacks when not doing other maintenance at 5.

Don't let the facts get in your way. Even before that maintenance never pushed planes back at more then 28 stations.

 

[Borescope]

There's not any need to strike. Just following the book and moving a little slower,(it's cold out there) will grind everything to a halt. buh bye!

 

[700UW]

If a contract is abrogated it is a major dispute a union has the right to withdraw its services, and that is in the Railway Labor Act.

 

[Winglet]

Lakefield and Bronner need to know that if the IAM contract is abrogated, the mechanics walk, airplanes don't fly, and US Airways liquidates.

Otherwise, they're going to call the bluff.

 

[repeet]

No bluff from the guys I work with. We've stayed this long because we owe this company a strike.
