After reading the latest IAM flyer I felt compelled to respond. If you read the last blog post you already know their position on scope is entirely inaccurate b.s., so for this post let's talk about their assertions regarding sick time.
Here is a fact that has equal truth and merit which they forgot to add; 9 out of 10 leprechauns prefer unicorns as a means of travel when heading to the end of a rainbow. In other words Brothers and Sisters their claims are complete malarkey (lies).
The authors hope you won't call the Business Agents at CAL to confirm their preposterous statements. Well you can if you wish but I already did and here are the answers from the largest Locals. On both coasts neither Agent can remember a dependability related discharge in the last 13 years. In Houston the Agent there told me in the last five years there have been about five discharges due to dependability related issues. In a group of 3700 that represents about .03% of the entire membership affected annually by discharge due dependability.
In my mind there is no reason to dig further into their claims. I call B.S. and stand by my claim that these folks are nothing more than political hacks that long ago sold their principles for potential personal gain. That brings to mind another profession where anatomical attributes are sold for personal gain, and the authors are as believable as those that ply that trade. It really is a question of honesty. How can anything they spew be believed?
