In case you don't know by now stevie, any vote conducted by the twu is a scam. I still am amazed how the company union does it.Steve Connell said:
:blink: Hackman said:In your view, you think the judge would have sided with AMFA and issued the injunction? Your a fool. Most likely he/she would have told AMFA or any other union to use the grievance process first. As union members have been shown too many times, the courts are not union friendly. Of course, if the twu were at Alaska, the International sellouts wound have cut a deal to lower the bar as far as they could in pay and benefits, and then standby while the furloughs rise to meet the concessions, like what is occuring at AA right now.
AMFA is offering concessions to UAL? Please be more specific, and don't try and blame AMFA for the gutted "scorched earth" contract the iam left for them. The iam sold their UAL members out 100% before they got boot, and you know it. Your twu lies might work on your twu blind followers, but you can't slide them by here. I'll discuss anything AMFA/twu/iam/ibt you want, because the twu is like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.... its a seriously bad joke. I agree, the 39% NWA cap is too high, but its better than no cap at all, like the iam had. You exspect AMFA to come in and immediately correct decades of industrial union blunders? That takes more than one contract. In addition, I have not seen a iam card drive go anywhere, its been, lets see...almost 8 years now? Speaks volumes, wouldn't you agree? What is our AA farmout rate? Never can get the facts on that one, because even the twu does not know what it is. If they did, it would likely be a secret anyway. I have read its over 41%, and with all these concessions we've had for years? Shamefull. AMFA destroyed the profession? Hasn't been much left after the twu started the concessions ball rolling in 1983!!!!
The fact is the twu has ALWAYS been the sellout kings. For over 20 years, the twu has soldout mechanics, continuously.... contract after contract! This is the reason for the AMFA drive. If the twu represented M@R intrests, there would not be an AMFA drive. The AMFA/NWA contract was record breaking, and the twu could not match it, period. The NWA mechanics went all the way to a PEB, and were rolling toolboxes out the doors, ready to strike. This is something the twu will never do, and thats fight. They give concessions, and then they give more. These is are reasons why the twu/iam/ibt are steadly losing mechanics to AMFA, no representation, no democracy, and continuous lies. Industrial unionism (business unionism) is finished representing the M@R members, its just a matter of time.

According to your twu Local 530 website, your listed as a twu communcations/publications stooge for the local. I am sure I read somewhere on the site months ago you were a Local 530 webmaster. I could be mistaken, really no matter.Steve Connell said:

Calvin said:Hack...thanks for your undaunting concern over how I attended the ralley and how everyone that attended flew on what passes and such. Fact is Hack, many flew through Dallas, and many flew through Chicago, not all going on D1's, some on D2's and I suppose some on A passes, not sure , I did not ask. We didn't even stay in the same hotel, imagine that! I only cared about getting Steve there in a timely matter. It's a shame you were not concerned with the real problem governing our profession and attended in support.
It is true Hack that I assist ME Johnson with the MCI/TWU Newsletter as an editor. That has nothing to do with the web site, again you have a problem mixing apples and oranges. Concentrate Hack, the world may then seem not so gloomy.
Hack, even though we are not the best of friends, I do wish you and your family well this Holiday Season and may you have a Merry Christmas...HOHOHO!!!

Earl, calvin, steve, dippy quill or who ever you are today, it seems to me that since I am forced to pay dues to the twu, it is my concern how the twu blows our dues. "Team Bubba" has broke my local fighting its own members, and unleashing the UB gravy train like i've never seen before. Now that most of "Team Bubba" have been summarily voted out, they want the new officers not to take any pay. The twu wasted millions on t-shirts, buttons, jackets, stickers, booze, dinners, UB, coffins, hotel rooms on thursdays, and paid supporters. These were done with dues from over 50% twu members that do not support the twu, or want to at least see a vote. With all this money spent, have the twu stopped the AMFA drive? Maybe the twu (and the NMB) postponed a vote, but the new AMFA drive continues. Judging by past practice, this drive will be the end of the twu at AA.Calvin said:Hack...thanks for your undaunting concern over how I attended the ralley and how everyone that attended flew on what passes and such.
