KING GEORGE TIBERUS DAVIS - AIRLINE CZAR

                                KING GEORGE TIBERIUS DAVIS

–

                                           Airline Division Czar has falsely spoken again!
                                                    

                An Adaptation from the KING!

Another Airline Division Failure

Below is a negotiations update that was sent to us from IAD. It appears to be a reaction from our previous publications pointing out the fact the IBT Airline Division didn't do their job and fulfill the request of the committee to provide the needed information about "Teamcare" so they may or may not include it in the "comprehensive proposal" that was supposed to be submitted to the mediator for approval. Again we point out the fact the AD was asked to provide this needed information back in August. Instead, the AD chose to ignore the request in favor of more organizing and addressing other issues they find more important than our negotiations. Now the negotiations are pushed back at least another month. Doesn't this sound familiar to the seniority integration that's been stagnant for a couple of years? Hell, the whole negotiation process has been stagnant for a couple of years. Some negotiators have mentioned that "Teamcare" is one option they are looking at. OK. What are the others? Finally, from an insider we were tipped that the reason the mediator strong armed the negotiations was because he felt the Airline Division didn't have a clue on how to negotiate an amalgamated contract. That makes sense. The AD has fumbled their way through the whole representational job here at UAL. Why should this be different?

UNITED MECHANICS FOR THE REAL TRUTH                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Issue #1

What the KING fails to realize is:

1) The IBT has been doing their job by recognizing the need to introduce Team Care because of the exorbitant Health Care costs that hurt the technicians and their families.

2) The KING fails to realize that in order to make a Health Care Proposal of this magnitude that completely takes the company out of the Health Care business it will take a lot of work and time.

3) The KING fails to realize that every aspect of Health Care will be in this proposal. Instead the KING wishes to hold court and issue his misleading edicts only as a dictator does.

I urge everyone to please search out for the truth.  It is easier to mis-lead then to explain the arduous task our negotiating team has when they negotiate against a company that doesn’t respect the profession of an AMT.
