It's been a while since this blog was updated. For United Mechanics and Related the parties return to the table this coming week in Las Vegas followed by a week apart and then returning the week of August 10th. Good progress was made in the last session and it is my hope that continues. I will try to start this blog back up, as time permits, to use as another communications tool.<br />
Take care,<br />

<div align="center" class="yiv9708790641MsoNormal" id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389657480416_65074" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: black;">January 14, 2014</span></b><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv9708790641MsoNormal" id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389657480416_65077">
<span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389657480416_65076" style="color: black;">On Monday, January 13<sup>th</sup>, the TSA released its
finalized US based repair station security rule. Significantly, because
of the release, the moratorium placed by Congress on new certification
of facilities has now been lifted. Lobbyists for the MRO industry
including ARSA are now pushing for the FAA to quickly certify new
facilities.</span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv9708790641MsoNormal" id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389657480416_65080">
<span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389657480416_65079" style="color: black;">As reported previously in the TAMC newsletter and the
Mechanics Dispatch the Airline Division is strongly opposed to lifting
the moratorium, especially in regards to foreign repair stations. The
reason is clear; two previous and the most current DOT IG reports have
shown that the FAA “Does not have an Effective Oversight process for
Foreign and Domestic Repair Stations.” This is troubling given that
there are currently 4700 domestic and 750 foreign repair stations. The
TAMC has been on the Hill lobbying for some time that the moratoriums
remain in place until the FAA has the ability to do what it was designed
to do. </span></div>
<div class="yiv9708790641MsoNormal" id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389657480416_65084">
<span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389657480416_65083" style="color: black;">On Monday, the day the new rule was released a letter was
sent to Administrator Huerta outlining our objections to any new
certifications. That letter is attached for your review. In our view it
is inconceivable that the government would further risk the lives of the
flying public by burdening a system that historically has not been able
to police itself. For ten years the Inspector General has been ringing
the alarm bells about this oversight issue and that warning should not
be ignored. </span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv9708790641MsoNormal" id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389657480416_65087">
<span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389657480416_65086" style="color: black;">What can you do about this? Get the word out, share this
on social media, share this with your friends and family and finally ask
everyone to write or call their members of Congress. We do not need
more regulation in this industry paid for by the blood of the flying
public.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
My wife passed an article on to me titled “Combatting
Negative Views of Unions: A Defense of Labor Studies”. The article was written several
years ago by Victor G. Devinatz a professor of management in the Department of
Management and Quantitative Methods at Illinois State University. He taught
courses in labor relations and human resource management at the time this
article was written. <i><b><a href="http://www.nea.org/assets/img/PubThoughtAndAction/TAA_04Win_10.pdf">Here</a></b></i> is a link to the article.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Professor Devinatz opines that it is time the history of the
labor movement as well as what unions currently do should be taught in schools.
This is a proposition I wholeheartedly endorse. The declining middle class can
be linked directly back to a decline in the unionized workforce in this
country. As the professor explains why this type of education is needed, he
spells out why unionized workers are mostly thought of in disparaging ways. He
points out that given union density it is unlikely that people learn about
unions at home. For me that wasn’t true as my father was a Teamster for most of
his working career and many of my relatives were also in unions. One of my
early memories of unionism is when the janitors in my elementary school went on
strike and the teachers supported them by refusing to clean the classrooms. I asked
my father about it and he explained that all the janitors were trying to do was
to improve their lives and the teachers were helping because in the future they
would rely on support from the janitors when it was their turn to bargain. My
dad went through a couple of strikes while I was growing up and he did very
well for his family. I learned that it is much better to stick together than to
stand alone, but to the professor’s point I didn’t really learn what unions do
until I became a member in my late teens.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well what do unions do? For all of my adult life I have been
a member, steward or officer of various unions. Some of them were effective and
some less so. What unions do of course is provide a sense of balance and
security to the workforce. They do this by maintaining a grievance system that
allows workers the right to a voice in the workplace that they normally
wouldn’t enjoy. In addition they bargain collectively to provide fair
compensation and benefits for work performed. Unions that vigorously protect
their members rights through contract enforcement and negotiations while
progressively attempting to ensure that they are ahead of technology are
obviously more effective that those that do not. But that’s not all. As pointed
out in the professor’s article unions also provide benefits to companies. Specifically
the benefit of a happy secure workforce will produce more than one that is less
happy and less secure. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In an interesting aside the professor points out in his
article the use of the word workforce can even come with negative connotations.
After all who wants to be considered a worker, especially amongst college grads
or professionals? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well the truth of the
matter is doctors, lawyers, teachers and nurses among other professions have
organized segments. And really when you think about it why not? You do not need
to be a professor of labor relations to understand that we all do better when
we strive to achieve similar goals. Working together provides far more benefits
than going it alone. Many of us would like to believe that’s not true but it is
all the same. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I applaud the professor for his insights in this article and
hope his idea comes to pass. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This Labor Day please take time to reflect on the real
meaning of the holiday. A stronger labor movement ultimately means a stronger
economy and a stronger country as a result. Never forget – ours is a noble and
patriotic endeavor!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Happy Labor Day Brothers and Sisters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The work of crafting language will continue in parallel with the negotiation of Phase 2 economic discussions. The process of crafting language has been slow to this point and is a concern due to the fact we don’t want to end up in the same process as the pilots, where it takes several months after reaching a TA until all Articles are finalized. The Phase 2 economic discussions begin with information being exchanged between the parties’ actuaries regarding pension and health care solutions next week. The full committee will meet in Chicago next week, March 11th -15th.<br />Report of the Committee<br />This week’s meeting in Chicago found both sides able to find some room for further discussion on some of those issues that the sub committees previously determined to be Phase 2 items. In addition, the LoA subcommittee began discussing the Letters of Agreements with the assistance of NMB mediator Michael Kelleher. Long discussions between the Union and Company representatives found agreements to changes in many of the letters. It was determined that some LoA’s should be combined where the subjects were similar. It was further determined that some LoA’s were better suited in the main body of the Agreement and should be incorporated in corresponding Articles. Other LoA’s were determined to be an accurate reflection of the operation and should be kept in their entirety. Finally, some LoA’s were seen as no longer applicable and both sides agreed they could be omitted from the final agreement. The beginning of this time period saw the parties apart on several points, but by week’s end, the company moved towards understanding and agreeing with many of our arguments closing out the phase 1 LoA discussions.<br />Many of these letters of agreement offer further definitions or explanations to applicable articles, and some are stand alone agreements made for specific work groups or certain working conditions. It is the recommendation of the committee that when the tentative agreement is eventually complete, each member take a close read of these back of the book LoA’s when contemplating the CBA.<br />Benefits<br />Representing the Unions interests, the Actuaries from Cheiron along with Professional Economist Dan Akins met with the experts who will be advising the company on the benefits<br />packages including pension and medical plans. These talks were attended by representatives of management and the Union and included the attorneys from both sides. More information was exchanged and explained between the parties in an effort to lay some solid ground work once formal benefit discussions between the parties start the week of March 11th.<br />The full negotiating committee was updated on the information and subjects discussed by our attorney and all the outside experts of the subcommittee. It is the opinion of the Union professionals involved that there is a genuine interest by the company to come to an agreement and get this TA complete in the time frame suggested. While this opinion was indeed encouraging by the committee, some of the information shared was a little more disheartening although not necessarily completely unexpected. Negotiating economic packages which have several major components can be a frustrating and daunting task. With diligent preparation, however, surprises can be mitigated. The Committee is taking all the information offered and attempting to simplify the choices before them in an attempt to provide the best possible deal for the membership. We remain hopeful that our goals will be met.<br />Seniority Integration<br />A formal report of the rank and file seniority integration committee was prepared and signed by mediator Ralph Berger. This report will be used by the rank and file negotiating committee during phase 2. The report can be seen at the following link:<br />http://www.teamster.org/sites/teamster.org/files/IBT-United-SIC-RR_3-1-13.pdf<br />Furloughed members urged to update their addresses<br />Members on furlough are advised to keep their addresses current with the company while on layoff. It is predicted that there will be many movements this year and there have been several members that have been removed from the seniority list because old addresses were on file when notices were sent.<br />If you are in touch with a furloughed member, please forward this information to them. Updates may be emailed to: ESC@united.com . The ESC will provide a fax number and ask members to send the address change accompanied with a signature.Bob Fisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07849577881241265165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211586734086310012.post-511774112646292212013-01-26T19:27:00.001-05:002013-01-26T19:27:29.791-05:00MX Dispatch 1-25-13<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1359129018106_2198" style="text-align: left;">

The purpose of the caucus was to discuss the activity of the previous two weeks and to assess the progress made to date.

Look for all future updates to be both posted on the Airline Division site as well as through email via the Mechanics Dispatch.</i><br />
<br />The parties met for a second consecutive week of bargaining this week in Chicago. We tackled some of the more substantive phase 1 portions of the agreements. The articles discussed were Article 3 - Covered Crafts, Classifications, and Bid Areas; Article 4 - Seniority; Article 13 - Training; Article 7 - Hours of Service; Article 17 - Overtime; and Article 18 - Union Security and Representation.<br />Agreements in principle on non-economic issues were reached on Articles 7 and 17, and progress was made on the other four subjects. Also present at the start of this week’s session was Peter Hardcastle, a Cheiron actuary hired by the IBT to assist in these negotiations. Mr. Hardcastle was on hand for continued preliminary discussions on pension and other benefit-related matters.<br />
<br />Discussions will continue with the remaining articles when bargaining reconvenes on Monday for the third consecutive week. Originally this third week was going to be done without the aid of the mediators, however, considering our progress and at the parties’ request, a schedule change was managed and the NMB will be present during next week as well.<br /><br />
We will keep you updated as progress continues.<br />
<br /><b>Seniority Integration Committee</b><br />
<br />The Seniority Integration Committee was called together to finalize the draft of suggestions for the Negotiating Committee. As we have made faster-than-expected progress, the Committee was called together to vote on and discuss any final remaining issues on the draft that has been building over the last few months. This draft will be a template to be used by the Negotiating Committee in resolving the many differences on the subject of seniority within the three groups. Discussions with the company on the seniority article began immediately after receiving the final draft.<br />
<br />One of the long anticipated information items, the combined Teamster Roster, was delivered from the company to the SIC during the meeting. The final task for the SIC is to look over the roster and make any necessary corrections. Some of this can begin immediately while other changes will require agreements in principle between the company and the union Negotiating Committee. It should be stressed that any of these changes or corrections will not be valid without a fully-ratified agreement voted on by the membership.Bob Fisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07849577881241265165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211586734086310012.post-70319911112108094952013-01-12T12:25:00.001-05:002013-01-12T12:25:46.739-05:00Negotiations Update<div class="yiv620321922MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1358011366885_1969">

These meetings started off with a day and a half of training courtesy
of the National Mediation Board. This Board required training for the
expedited facilitated problem solving, or FPS, process placed the
company and the union in the same room listening to course instruction
lead by senior mediator Pat Sims assisted by mediator Michael Kelliher.
The purpose of these exercises was to get negotiators familiar with
facilitated problem solving. Training was well received by both parties
and all participants including upper management and union leaders took
part. </span></span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1358011366885_1984">According
to the agreement, these talks will be divided into two phases. The
first phase is the reconciliation phase and will be the process of
taking the differences in the contract books for the three companies and
amalgamating them in to one. It is this first phase that will consume
the majority of our initial meeting time with the company. To accomplish
this phase, we have divided into small groups of negotiators and
Business agents who are tasked with certain articles. These small groups
meet with similar company groups and the two parties run down the
entire article. In many cases the language is taken as is and agreements
can be made immediately. Combining three contracts, however, will
obviously bring about some points of disagreement. </span></div>

points that are not immediately agreed to are worked out using the

resolving the differences. Each of these sub-committee meetings have
been presided over by members of the Board to help move the process

Currently we are working on logistics with the NMB for the upcoming negotiations in Chicago beginning on the 7th. Next week we'll continue the process to make sure all parties are ready to begin bargaining in earnest. <br />
<br />
As a group we face several headwinds and need to be prepared to react to them as the process unfolds. The first hurdle will be the overall economic position of mechanics in the industry. This is no secret as the American bankruptcy eroded mechanics pay and benefits at one of our largest competitors. The rest of the trunk carrier industry is in a similar economic position to American as far as pay and benefits are concerned. The economies in the Pacific Rim countries as well as Europe will also need to be monitored during negotiations. The effect of going over the fiscal cliff may also play a role unless a deal can be reached.<br />
<br />
Reading the news this morning I came across an article about the new Prime Minister of Japan forcing change at the Bank of Japan. Since the economy of Japan has been floundering for some time the new PM is suggesting a stimulus program and an effort to re-inflate consumer prices. A peice of the article caught my eye <span id="articleText">"The central bank is now on track to pump 120
trillion yen ($1.4 trillion) into the economy - equivalent to the value
of six Googles - <b>even though skeptics argue that this tide of money <span class="mandelbrot_refrag"></span>cannot break Japan's real economic logjam: falling wages</b>." (<i>emphasis added) </i>Reading this reminded me of what just transpired in Michigan with the new right to work law and where it seems we as a country are headed. The Japanese by a wide margin just rejected conservative policies that have let them stagnate for some time. The full article can be read <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/12/28/us-japan-economy-boj-idUSBRE8BR04C20121228"><b>here.</b></a> </span><br />
<br />
Obviously there are also significant factors in our favor such as the need by the
company to combine the three maintenance programs and the fact that the company is currently doing well. Another factor in our favor is that oil seems to have stabilized. And of course the pilots have just ratified a new agreement and it appears other labor groups are well on their way towards achieving amalgamated agreements. It appears the domestic economy is picking up with manufacturing beginning to rebound and home sales are also increasing. A better domestic market should drive more ticket sales. <br />
<br />
In any event it's going to be a very busy new year. A new amalgamated agreement the members can be proud of is certainly attainable as a result of all the hard work by members and experts as well as the solidarity of the membership. My hope and belief is that 2013 will be a very prosperous one as all this preparation unfolds during negotiations.Bob Fisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07849577881241265165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211586734086310012.post-38490659017465036252012-12-21T10:57:00.001-05:002012-12-21T10:57:42.441-05:00Winding downThe preparation for the United mechanics negotiations continues but is mostly complete. Many information requests from the company have been met, proposals are close to finalization and the Seniority Integration Committee is almost ready to make it's recommendations to the Negotiating Committee. All of this preparation will lead to a great agreement in my opinion. Many thanks to all of those who've put in many hours and spent time away from families to get ready for these negotiations. <br />
<br />
I look forward to January and the beginning of talks that will put all three agreements together.<br />
<br />
The Chief Steward calls will resume in January because the remaining Mondays are Christmas Eve followed by New Years Eve. This call has become a great communications tool that has led to resolution of several systemwide problems. It seems going in to the new year that the inspection department on the sUA side will continue to be a big issue. Dan Stunda from IAH and Mike Pecorraro from ORD are taking the lead on this. The staffing of bid area 301 will become an issue at the table if it is not resolved quickly. The advise I would give to those that see issues with 301 are to file grievances. Grievances are an excellent way to track and document problems. This documentation is often needed when trying to resolve systemwide problems as issues that are reduced to writing show patterns that help to resolve contractual violations at the lower levels of the process. Ultimately if these issues are elevated to arbitration that documentation helps the arbitrator to understand our position. This leads to another point and something I learned early on "treat every grievance like it will go to arbitration". Well thought out grievances are the ones that prevail. <br />
<br />
For me, I'm working on reports today to finish up the year. After I finish either today or early tomorrow I plan to spend some much needed time with my family. They tend to get neglected with this schedule as I'm sure you can imagine.<br />
<br />
I know that this greeting is a couple of days early but as I'm winding
down for the holidays I wanted to express my desire that you and your
families have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year. It is my hope that you will be able to
enjoy this time with friends and family.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
While watching Fox News after the passage of the Michigan
right to work legislation to get the conservative perspective, I noticed a banner at the bottom of the screen which
stated “The Death of Big Labor”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I thought about this it occurred to me that an axiom that
we learn in school is “those that fail to learn history are doomed to repeat
it”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Different stories have been running on MSNBC now
declaring the death of the Republican Party. Certainly the Republican
Party has shifted to its extreme right in pursuit of conservative purity.
Recently Steven Colbert accurately pointed out that you have an equal chance of
finding Bigfoot as you do finding a moderate Republican. For those that think
the party won’t moderate back to center they obviously don’t study history.
Parties move, albeit slowly, to current realities in order to win elections.
One thing the pundits are discussing and which I agree with, is the damage the
Republicans have done to their own brand will most likely cause a generational electoral shift. This will more than likely occur in the same
manner as it did with the Roosevelt Democrats and the Reagan
Republicans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What does that have to do with the death of big labor? Well,
leading up to the Great Depression during the 1920’s the nation saw more and more
restrictive and regressive labor laws enacted. Labor was on a slow decline, being declared dead, and
unable to turn the tide legislatively. Ultimately the Depression took away
comforts which caused a determination built from desperation in the labor force. This led to huge advances for Labor during the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. This
period saw bloody and vicious battles with corporate America but led to the
enactment of a host of labor laws that changed the landscape for working people in America. This period led to further the expansion of the middle class. The expansion of the middle class led to a
period of great prosperity which also created the strongest country on the
planet. At the height Unions represented about 35% of the workforce.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The current situation is certainly dismal for unions and the
middle class in this country. For the first time in generations, the next
generation is not forecast to do better than the previous one and Unions now
represent only about 11% of the workforce. But as I see it there is hope for the
middle class. A recent poll found that 58% of the workforce was open to the
prospect of joining a union. In addition the recent Occupy Wallstreet movement
gained more support than expected. Workers at Wal-Mart have started to push
back and fast food workers in New York went on a one day strike. While these events have been largely dismissed by the conservative media (Fox News) I see
it as the beginning of an awakening process. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
I don’t condone violence, but let’s be clear, if history
tells us anything, it will escalate. People get violent when threatened. Fox has been airing video of a
union supporter striking a correspondent to
show that union members are nothing but thugs. Take away a person’s
ability to provide for their family or themselves and you will see the same
response. Yet even knowing this, Fox continues advocating these extreme
policies. A t-shirt slogan I saw at Dulles on my arrival summed it up better
than I ever could “Talk shit - Get hit”.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My fervent hope is that we can learn from history and change course now to secure the middle class before we enter a period of violence. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Look for the update in the Dispatch.Bob Fisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07849577881241265165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211586734086310012.post-42023997554120226522012-12-06T22:10:00.000-05:002012-12-06T22:23:51.468-05:00Michigan right to work legislationUnions have outlived their usefulness. The only things unions do are keep people working that should be fired and spend dues money on bosses and Democratic candidates. Right to work legislation will ensure that you don't have to participate in the electoral process against your wishes.<br />
<br />
For the more delicate readers of the blog please skip this next sentence. The above statements are total bullshit and used to put you into what corporations believe is your rightful place living at or near poverty wages! This is one of the largest scams perpetrated on the working men and women of this country I have ever seen. How and why can I say this?<br />
<br />
I have been a union "boss" and run a Local, been in negotiations and sat in discipline hearings for a combined 13 years in two different organizations. The people pushing right to work know something you may not; a majority of your dues money goes into servicing and negotiating contracts and running the business of the union. Anyone who's considered becoming an objector knows this as well. Percentages vary but in my experience more than 90% of dues money goes for this purpose. So what does right to work really do then?<br />
<br />
Let's look at the current negotiations at United for the mechanics only. There are about 35 participants from the union, 14 rank and file that make up the negotiating committee, 14 Local Business Agents sitting in to assist the rank and file, and 5 International Representatives (Including one full time attorney) to also assist the rank and file committee. There are also two economists, a team of actuaries and several health care experts. Some of this last group are from the IBT and some are outside consultants. None of these people come cheap. I'm guessing we will spend several hundred thousand dollars negotiating this amalgamated agreement. Should the union spend this kind of money on negotiations? I don't have to answer that, you know negotiating with a multi billion dollar corporation costs money and if you don't come big you get steamrolled.<br />
<br />
Now what if the union didn't have that revenue coming in to pay for these services? Well the answer is we'd most assuredly get steamrolled. We would still get representation but as anyone who's ever made a deal, including buying a car or a house knows, money talks. Take that money away and you have less opposition at the bargaining table. This is the crux of the issue. Cripple the union + cripple the worker = padding the pockets of the CEO's and other corporate officers as well as higher returns for investors. So all this melodrama about dues money going to the election process is nothing more than sleight of hand to get you to believe the union is the enemy while they brazenly reach in to your wallet and steal money you should be earning.<br />
<br />
Because of the Railway Labor Act right to work would need to become national legislation to change airline contracts. But don't kid yourself when these thieving bastards get the right mix in congress it will hit us as well. If you're in Michigan and you get an opportunity to stand with the protesters I would suggest you do. This attack on them hurts us all!Bob Fisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07849577881241265165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211586734086310012.post-59625847417460364772012-12-04T13:38:00.000-05:002012-12-04T13:38:08.030-05:00This weekThis week I'm in Chicago working on information requests in advance on next weeks seniority integration meeting.<br />
<br />
As a reminder please replace your paper A&P certificate as it will no longer be valid after March of 2013. Look for more information in the coming Mechanics Dispatches.<br />
<br />
On Monday's Chief Steward call there were a couple issues that have a system wide impact. Both of these affect the system but are primarily sUA items. The first is the movement to bid area 301 for inspection. This process is taking a long time to implement and is causing problems for the members. Please ensure you are in compliance if you upgrade. The second issue has to do with Corvelle denying access to personal physicians. A third step settlement from IAD may help resolve this issue.<br />
<br />
Just to reiterate please follow the paperwork. There is no sense dealing with the FAA if you can prevent it.Bob Fisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07849577881241265165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211586734086310012.post-13443618645221415282012-11-30T09:32:00.000-05:002012-11-30T09:58:51.145-05:00PoliticsYesterday evening on the way home from Florida I met President Obama's press secretary Robert Gibbs. We had a very brief conversation and he seemed like a decent man. I was glad I got that opportunity and it led me to reflect on the plane ride home about politics in this country.<br />
<br />
First while Mr. Gibbs is not an elected official, access to him as well as members of congress, and state and local politicians is what makes this country great. To be able to voice concerns or support free of the fear of retribution is an invaluable liberty yearned for by many citizens of countries that are less fortunate.<br />
<br />
I then thought about the current political climate and how it relates to us. When we as a country put those issues which have no impact on our everyday lives on a political pedestal, we haved doomed ourselves to pay for not keeping our eye on the prize. What is the prize? In my mind it's the American dream, a good paying job, a decent education and a nice home for my family. All of those require work but can be achieved when roadblocks to access are torn down. Things like good student loan programs, the GI bill, and banking regulations that protect us all are good for the country. In other words politics affects the pocketbook. I wonder why more Americans aren't demanding that the crazy fringe return to their caves and let serious people fix the problems facing this great land. For me I look forward to that day because of the prosperity it will bring to us all. <br />
<br />
I urge each of you to reach out to your elected officials. Share your thoughts and ideas on how to improve the economy. I'm not happy with the obstructionism the country currently faces, but because this is a great country, I will be writing my Congresswoman and urging her to make compromises to move us forward. She will undoubtedly disagree with me and put party politics over the welfare of the country. But I don't have to worry about being drug out my house and shot or hanged. That unfettered access to our leaders is what makes this country great.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a great weekend. Look for the Mechanics Dispatch and Week in Review emails over the weekend.Bob Fisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07849577881241265165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211586734086310012.post-84363908200750245802012-11-27T14:20:00.002-05:002012-11-27T14:20:39.102-05:00Social mediaDo you use Facebook, Twitter, Google +, or any other social media? I certainly do and generally don't even think about it. But after today's meeting that attitude has certainly changed. Many of the companies we work for routinely monitor these social media sites in an effort to watch your activities. This in itself is nothing new but I've learned today that several members have been discharged at different companies using what is posted to bolster company cases against our members. Please use social media responsibly, don't post that you are at a big game, party, or other event when you called out sick. Similarly don't post before your shift that you are in no condition to work. Common sense should be the rule here.

Tomorrow the United Mechanic's seniority integration team flies in for continuing work on the amalgamated seniority list and rules for moving forward. At the same time the Airline Division Board of Directors is meeting so it will be a busy week.<br />
<br />
Look for the update in the Mechanics Dispatch for the seniority integration committee meeting and watch the Week in Review for a report on the Board of Directors meeting.

Today I've updated the links, took down some old things and just basically did some house keeping. If you see something that doesn't work or would like something added please let me know.<br />
<br />
In the header it now says that this is a blog about my role as an Airline Division Rep. While I still see the guys from IAD I no longer represent them on a full time basis as their Chief Steward. That role has been passed to Jay Koreny. When he puts up a blog a will add a link in the useful links section.<br />
<br />
For those that haven't seen the most recent Mechanics Dispatch the issue of whether or not there will be an appeal of the Consent Decree by the IBT or the respective Locals was discussed and it can be found here http://www.teamster.org/content/ualcalcmi-mechanics-weekly-update. The readers digest version is that we will be moving forward with negotiations and the Consent Decree will be the driver for seniority integration.<br />
<br />
Negotiations have been moved back due to the availability of staff at the NMB. While the process is somewhat delayed the parties all continue to desire a quick resolution to the amalgamated agreement.<br />
<br />
I've also been working on the Frontier Mechanics negotiations. That process has moved along at a good pace and we should be discussing the economic package soon.<br />
<br />
Many of you may know that there are organizing drives currently happening at American Airlines and USAirways. I've had some involvement in each of these campaigns and truly hope they're successful. If those two groups join us we will represent over 30,000 mechanics. That brings increased bargaining power with the companies we work for and political capital on the Hill when we lobby for items that affect our craft. If you'd like to get involved please let me know and I'll forward your information to the organizing department.<br />
<br />
I found the airline mechanics site a while ago and have added their forum to the Mechanics Dispatch useful links. They have copies of all the industry CBA's and a forum for discussion open to all mechanics.<br />
<br />
I'll try to keep up with this blog but the next couple of months are going to be very busy with the talks for an amalgamated agreement. Thank you for your patience and please check back for updates.<br />
<br />
That's all for now except to say that I'm wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. <br />

As an airline employee having gone through bankruptcy there is one clear choice in tomorrow's election and that is President Obama. If you need only one reason to vote for him look to the PBGC. Under President Bush's appointed head of that organization pensions at United were scrapped while under President Obama's appointed head of the PBGC American's plans were only frozen. That's a huge distinction and benefit for the American Airlines workers.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1352124468688_91">I find it rather hypocritical that so many people
running for public office <span> </span>propagandize about the decline of
American family values and the decline of the US economy at the same time they
support multinational corporations as they invest 3.6 Billion dollars (as of
2010) in communist China to expand US manufacturing in that country. More than
2.6 million American jobs have been lost since 2001 as a result of big
multinational corporations cutting their American work force while increasing
their foreign workforce by 2.4 million. So when politicians talk about “strong
family values”, they need to be<span>
</span>reminded<span> </span>of the difficulty
of keeping a family together when your job has been moved to foreign country to
satisfy the “Need For Greed” by multinational corporate elitist and Wall Street
investors. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="yiv1660203392MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span> </span>A
major contributing factor to the current budget deficit is the fact that due to
certain provisions in the US tax code, multinational corporations<span> </span>can shelter their considerable foreign
made wealth in foreign banks (Cayman Islands for example) to avoid paying
“Foreign Profits Tax”. These are taxes that would help support the economy and
help off-set the deficit in the United States. This illustrates a callous
disregard for workers and communities in the United States on the part of the
multinational corporations. General Electric, for example, paid no corporate
taxes in 2010 on a global income of $14.2 billion while collecting 3.2 billion
from the US in the form of a subsidy. In addition, General Electric has an
estimated 62 billion in earnings sheltered in foreign banks to avoid paying
taxes.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Not too many years ago, investing Billions of dollars in
a communist foreign country would have been considered a breach of allegiance,
however now because of corporate and Wall Street, “Need for Greed” it is an
acceptable practice discounting the damage it causes our country’s economy and
our way of life.</span></span></div>
