Duty of Fair Representation

 

Come on...are y'all REALLY whining about the OP?! Get a grip! I seem to remember a few of you asking XJT Pilots to share info only found on their board not too long ago

 

But what this guy says is completely inaccurate. If anyone believes what he's written then they'd immediately form a very wrong opinion about what is going on. He's speaking on our behalf when it's not wanted and is full of false statements.

 

We are all pilots and what affects one group concerns us all. IF union representation is doing something immoral/illegal then I think it's fine to let other's know. After all, it is us who make the union. They are there because we are here, not the other way around. This is a forum...get it off your chest, and some of us need not be so sensitive

 

I have not seen any threats from any of our union or exco. I think they know if they did such a stupid move that it would alienate them even more from, not only our union, but the entire pilot groups of all airlines. It certainly would NOT go unnoticed. But again, as of this date, I have not seen any threats. If I do, I will be the first one to post it on here for all to be able to form their own opinions.

 

I would advise everyone (rah pilots especially) to watch what they say on any site! Not trying to opress! Just advise......? And to the original poster..... Get your facts straight man!

 

I have no problem with information being posted. Word of mouth travels nearly as fast. The one thing I do have a problem with is erroneous information being passed along as fact to all who are not involved.

Talk about anything and everything. Furloughs, pay concessions, union issues, etc. Just keep it factual and not a poorly thought out rant with no backing.

 

you need to pay more attention. It is obvious from the posts now on rp.org that people have been threaten as the "I have never condoned" threads are popping up by multiple people (SG, ZH etc etc) to distance themselves. They are taking names and the teamsters WILL TERMINATE anyone for TREASON that tries to overthrow them or even have the Government re-manned by someone other then the oh-so-great Gene and Tiff. Dont believe me? I can line you up with the numbers of those that will not publically denounce the Teamsters because they have been very clearly warned that even a word about it will cost them their job. Even the "informations posts" (you know the ones..."i will not condon this and will have nothing to do with it, I'm out...but if you do: this is where I would look/how I would start") are very much in fear of a lost job and have retracted even these posts to save themselves.

The Teamsters are wrong. They have poorly represtented the RJet pilots allowing more furloughs then needed without any pressusre on the company to save jobs, poor contract language resulting in abuse and loop-holes for every greivence, the unlawful and non-represtatation of an entire crew termination based on the word of a hotel house cleaner (but not until after the company allowed them to finish the trip...) and much more. My money, my votes and my confidence are lost with Teamsters.

As a point to show how much they care only about their money: all the pilots being furloughed, all first years on probation, the teamsters have sent out a bill to for the FULL AMOUNT of intial fees and any back dues owed before they lose their jobs and cant take them out of their paychecks anymore. Nice.

 

First off there is hasn't been much denouncing of the Teamsters publicly. RP.org is not a public sight. Secondly ZH & SG have kept the same stance from the get go.

 

This site is (relatively) anonymous. It's clear that what you say on the other site can be held against you.
