I'm not sure if I should bill you or the MEC for the hole I just punched in my wall, but this is truly maddening if true.

W T F O?????

 

That's impossible.

Donatelli insisted the TA was the company's last, best offer and there was nothing left at the table.

 

I don't know labor law, just repeating what I was told. JS yesterday was a Delta CA who used to be on a regional MEC. He told us the MEC is forbidden by law from recommending a no vote. They can't trash the agreement.

Like I say, not a labor lawyer.

 

Your JS rider was making stuff up. The first admendment applies to reps. We have reps here writing to explain their vote, both pro and con. No one is calling the cops!

 

Let us take a walk down memory lane, to the time Compass got kicked out of the DL MEC and Moak & Co billed us six figures for "services rendered" over the previous two years even though we'd been operating on a shoestring budget with miniscule amounts of FPL (As JSC, I couldn't even get bought off a 3-day trip to attend the national jumpseat conference). Our pilot coordinator / interim MEC chairman wished to communicate our dire financial situation with the membership at large. He was repeatedly prevented from doing so by ALPA lawyers. We dug our way out of the hole and built up a decent war chest for our first negotiations thanks to the stewardship of our first MEC & particularly the sec-treas - but the membership never did learn the details other than through back channels.

I have no trouble believing LEC reps are being given a gag order.

 

Absolutely incredible. This is the kind of answers people will be getting at the road shows. This MEC administration will stop at nothing to get this passed. Nothing.

+1.

If this thing fails (And I PRAY it does) EVERY rep that voted to send it to a membership vote SHOULD/MUST submit a pro document, explaining why they sent it out to a vote, OR ELSE they should resign.



Petition anyone?

 

I believe that is appropriate.

 

Shirley if there are enough guys/gals filling out DPA cards to force a vote, there will be enough votes to vote this down!?!

I'm not asking this in a sarcastic way, to be clear...

Do you really think this will be enough of a push to force a vote?

(I'm not putting in a card, personally)
