To all of our brothers and sisters in M&R,
The time has come for all of us to take a good look in the mirror and ask ourselves, "what are we doing in this mess?" We have a bunch of great people that are behind this AMFA drive, that like you, feel we need to finally have the say we've been denied for far too long.
The association has asked for our patience, trust, & support while they get this contract done. We've done that. We can not any longer. We are doing a disservice to ourselves, our families, and our profession. We can do better, and we will.
There are various reasons why we do not have a JCBA yet. The organizers of this movement are teaming up because we know all hope and faith is now lost. The negotiation committee comprised of the TWU & IAM does not have our best interests in mind. It's politics, and politics do not belong at the table.
AMFA is the union that has total transparency. AMFA is the union where the membership controls the power. AMFA is the union that allows members to observe negotiations. AMFA is the union where the constitution has allowances for officers to be recalled by the membership. AMFA is the only union that does not try to organize outside of maintenance and related. AMFA is the answer we are looking for. AMFA NOW!!!!
Signing an AMFA card is not a vote for AMFA. All you are doing is telling the NMB (National Mediation Board) that you want your voice heard. The voice that has been denied for far too long. A voice we were told we would have. Once we get the 50% plus 1 card needed of both the TWU & IAM, and the NMB certifies the cards; then OUR voice will be heard. You will be mailed a ballot; the ballot will have the incumbent (Association), petitioning union (AMFA), and a write-in for your union of choosing, or no union. You then have control of your representation.
We the organizers want to be crystal clear; we need & want ALL groups within M&R to thrive. This effort to rid ourselves of the corrupt association is gonna take effort from everyone within. I encourage all of you to get involved, this will be your union. Ask questions on the web site and educate yourselves with the facts. Don't just ask your peers, because they might not have the correct answers. We don't want you swayed with misrepresentations or lies.
So, sign a card; get a friend to sign a card. Let's all go get the union that will best serve us.
In true solidarity,
The AMFA organizing committee
