Voted IN

[AC Tynker]

The twu are the same as the teamsters. Why change from one industrial, undemocratic, unaccountable union to another?

Besides, little says he isn't concerned with the teamster or AMFA raids at AA.

AMFA is the only union for AMTs.

No "In My Opinion" disclaimer ?

By now, everyone knows the results of the vote. Local 514′s results for M&R was
74% Yes to
26% No

Yep I guess if the numbers are correct Tulsa sold us out again. For all the No voters and guys who pushed hard and spent their own time pushing for a NO vote .....

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Whatever, when you don't have a cost of living index built into your contract language, you alienate those AMTs who live on more expensive cities ie BOS, NYC, LAX. Hint - my driveway costs more than a house in TUL. Most AMTs living in high cost and high taxed areas are working pay check to pay check, whereas other cities like TUL AMTs are living high on the hog.

The federal employees have national contracts with cost of living indexes built in why can't the TWU?

I'm gonna celebrate my YES vote victory by jumping in my Escalade and going to my lake house, since I have every weekend and holiday off. If you don't like living in Boston, New York, Chicago etc. Go back to school and get a degree that pays you enough to live there. Or quit and get a higher paying job.

Still no numbers, just percentages. Many discepancies in the vote, like the return addresses and several ineligable votes.

No argument here....But what's done is done..Contract has been ratified...Time to replace the TWU...

BTW..Im in a high cost area myself.

1,776 system wide didn't vote that's a lot of people who couldn't spare 1 Minute of their time to make a choice, if those people had voted the vote would have been different but they just didn't care, bottom line is the contract is ratified numbers don't matter, it's time to move on & deal with it.
between the divide between the Mechanics on choices ( TWU, Teamsters,AMFA, No Union ) & those large amount of people who choose to not even make a choice (APATHY) you can forget about getting rid of the TWU because it's not going to happen, too much split in the numbers for any organization to get enough cards.

Hard to stomach sore losers that just can't get over losing & move on.
Lose with some dignity, the Majority made a choice & we will live with whatever that choice brings.
If you did no more than just vote then you have nothing to cry about, this passed by 48 votes so any one person working hard enough could have changed the outcome or if so many hadn't chose not to vote.
You can't win with som much APATHY in our company.

We are all losers with this crap that just got voted in. What gets me with these comments about people saying that they don't have any problem bumping to the line. They don't have a clue what is waitng for them and the life changes for their Families.Hope you enjoyed the weekends off and not working graveyards and once you bump be ready to live wherever you go for a long time.There will not be any recall back to Tulsa. I wonder if any of the Tulsa union idiots mention that to anyone?

Let me repeat, THERE WAS NO WINNER HERE!

I bumped the line for 3yrs. Like I said, it was like a 3yr vacation. When we or they bump you again you can tell your story walkin'.
