New (Union) Year

You guys deserve better!!

Unions suck

A. guru

You should have written in the CBA an option to strike. There's no reason why you shouldn't have that option like the airlines do. Air Methods and even the PHI union they have doesn't have it written in there as a strike clause. If the companies willing to change the rules as they seem fit, why shouldn't the union or the pilots be able to strike. Should be given an option that anything more than three negotiations. You have the option to vote to strike. I haven't seen that in any of the CBAs for air Medical.  That's why the company can stall and do whatever they want because there's no threat of a strike. That's why the airlines have so much power and pole because the airlines can't go more than a week or two with loss of revenue if the pilot strike

it needs to be written in the CBA for a union to strike. Once the union is in place, you can strike anytime there isn't a contract. And all companies lose lots of money during a strike, not just airlines.

And I'm pretty much willing to bet Air Methods and PHI pilots have it in there CBA a no strike clause. I agree there should be the PHI union for pilots is pretty weak and that HR VP changes the rules and rewrites the CBA as they seem fit. There's so many times they should push for a strike and I guarantee you after about a week they'll get their money

in the contract as long as the contract is in effect, which is common. you have no idea what you're talking about.

Has a no strike clause dummy.   Its fact. you were probably too young to remember before spitting out your stupidity about no strike clause in the CBA but PHI when they had their strike many years ago, the company wrote that in there on the new CBA to prevent that from happening and the loss of tens of millions of dollars and oil and gas contract revenue they lost on it. Who cares on the AMC one.  And if there isn't one then WHY didn't the union threathen that instead of almost 2yrs negotiating 😂. So in fact YOU have no idea what your talking about.  and if you are a union head for AMC then your negotiating skills suckkkkk taking almost 2yrs to finally agree on a crappy contract and no strike 

Local 108 for PHI article 33 specifically says no strike, no lockout.   shouldn't have NEVER been put in there.  So tell me then how I don't know what I am talking about wiseazzz racist 

Article 33. No Strike, No Lockout

1. The Union agrees it will not, under any circumstances or for any reason, call, encourage, authorize or engage in any strike, slow down, unprotected concerted activity, or other hindrance to work during the term of this Agreement.
2. Any Pilot who engages in any activity described in section one of this Article will be subject to discharge, and such discharge will not be subject to the grievance procedure and System Board of Adjustment provisions of this Agreement, except as to the question of whether the Pilot engaged in such a violation.
3. The Employer agrees not to lock out Pilots during the term of this Agreement.
4. If the Employer knows that one of its customers is being picketed, the
employer will notify the Pilot about the picket line before dispatching the Pilot to the location of the picket line.
5. A Pilot may refuse to take an assignment to cross a picket line if he has reasonable safety concerns. In any such case, the Company will be permitted to service the customer the best way possible.

We could have struck at any time after the contract expired. We didn't need to "threaten" something everyone knew was an option. We got a good contract with guaranteed raises and the PILOTS voted in favor by a large margin. Striking is A LAST RESORT. I'm sorry you're such an idiot but holy crap you are one stupid mother f**ker.

Bringing out the best in people, since 1794.

when they implemented 360. they froze the pay for experienced people and guess what it's still frozen

Anybody who's against a PHI mechs union has no idea what theyre missing out on...

Yes, pay is an issue for several mechanics in the company. Also we are on average way below our competitors.

Pilots have no evaluations at PHI, the mechanics demand the same.

Annual tool stipends should be a standard in the Air Medical industry.

Shorter top out pay scale.

Mediation representation for mechanics for on the job issues.

If you're willing to work for low pay and benefits then this isn't company for you. Yes, several people have bailed but there are a lot of us left who are fighting for what's right for us, the future mechanics at PHI AM, and the industry as a whole!!!

 Some of us know full well what we'd be "missing out" on - that not being anything of use. In a previous life perhaps we've experienced it. Don't need you dragging it in.                                                                             Yep, some have good reason for having the red posterior about pay. But we know where the door is if felt it's intolerable.                                                                                                                                               "We are on average way below".. finally a valid point. I've met many of you, you truly ARE way below average.     Shorter to the top of the scale? Point in your time Slick.                             ;                           ;              Fighting for everyone? Bless You, BraveHeart.                  

Well the law states the union and company must negotiate in good faith... that means they have to make movement. The IAM Aircraft Mech II's in nowhere Leesville, LA make more than your lead servicing 3 hangers in Indiana. I'm Pretty sure every Aircraft Mech the IAM has makes more than you folks. Correct... you have no power... because you stand alone. Honestly, if you really think nothing will change, sign a card and let us show you something. We have 150k members in aerospace alone, no other union  can say that. We fight Boeing and Lockheed Martin but ya man... PHI Inc is gonna be a real obstacle to try and get a good contract... That company is a real heavy hitter... Raytheon doesnt even compare 😂
