Msg ID: 2788310 Here’s some 108 and 109 drama for you on this lovely day +0/-3

A lot of drama from the OPEIU organizer and his push to get the Check Pilots in to local 108, which makes no sense and gives control of the group to people who aren't check pilots but even worse don't work for the same employer. There is no benefit to that except money. That's absurd and clearly all about money for OPEIU. Seems like OPEIU and someone on the organizing team is conspiring for their personal gain or has an axe to grind, maybe both. But, we get 2 different stories on what happened and who's at fault. whats the truth because we have to decide to be 109 or 108 or maybe not a union at all at this point. I say 109 is the only choice and people need to check their egos and worry more about the people than the money. Then again, it's a union and even worse it's OPEIU. Care to disclose?

Local 25 only has 24 members total.   You could double their existance and since you are a separate class/craft, OPEIU wouldn't care, right?

Yet, if it weren't for Careflite pilot's union, Local 108 would have next to NOTHING to pay their $33,000+ annual per capita tax to OPEIU international.

 

Same will be true when they append AMC Check Airman onto the Local 108 union as a subordinate "committee".

 

Interestingly, OPEIU's appointed oversee'er is the same person who's been there since PHI went into Trusteeship the first time, and who remains an oversee'er now.

be in another union with helicopter pilots again

helicopter pilots are just not class and labor conscious and have no concept of solidarity. works great for flying a rotor machine in combat or at some end of the road job. not so great in civilized world/industry environments. ends up in drama drama drama, nothing ever gets done but the talk and promises are nonstop, in short total horseh*t for which i have zero tolerance.

Now I'm a union man
Amazed at what I am
I say what I think, that the company stinks
Yes I'm a union man
 
When we meet in the local hall
I'll be voting with them all
With a hell of a shout, it's "Out brothers, out!"
And the rise of the factory's fall
 
Oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
Til the day I die
Til the day I die
 
Us union men are wise
To the lies of the company spies
And I don't get fooled by the factory rules
'Cause I always read between the lines
 
And I always get my way
If I strike for higher pay
When I show my card to the Scotland Yard
And this is what I say
 
Oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
Til the day I die
Til the day I die
 
Before the union did appear
My life was half as clear
Now I've got the power to the working hour
And every other day of the year
 
So though I'm a working man
I can ruin the government's plan
And though I'm not hard, the sight of my card
Makes me some kind of superman
 
Oh, oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
Til the day I die
Til the day I die
 
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
Til the day I die
Til the day I die
