I say 'Why not'? the union thing seems to be going well elsewhere.

Really? The only big HAA operator that's union is AMC and they just came out of a planned bankruptcy. 

Bro, go away with your union dribble. No one on this forum cares. 

lol bro

Big supporter for the Union at PHI. We went bankrupt without one and it screwed all the mechanics pay!!! 
The 7&7s only getting to work 4 days W/O off hitch is going to be a big reason why we'll get 20-30 more mechanics to jump on and fix this cluster F**K!!!

Then f'n leave and find employment elsewhere. Plenty of good paying aviation mech jobs out there. 

Are you going to know in Union or Not?   What's the hold up?  You keep posting on here.  

The IAM is the largest aerospace union in the country. We assign each group a full time bussiness rep, but yes the workers are the union. Your bussiness rep doesnt work there so you kind of have to tell him what you want. You nominate and elect your stewards and committee, your business rep does what they ask of him. We have United, American, hawaiian, jet blue, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, M1 support, Amentum, Vertex, PAE, etc etc. There is a reason we are the largest in aerospace and defense, we arent the union you order from wish.com. Yes we said you need to do this yourselves, and we will assist, no one is trying to sell you a bill of goods here. you either want the ability to negotiate with one of the mostb powerful labor organizations in the country sitting with your group, or you can keep getting bent over by the Helicopter Industry's "walmart" 

Our contracts make news headlines, google "IAMAW Contract" 

Ill tell you right now, we dont play with that 51% bs either, we dont have majority support, we drop your group and you can go right back to getting the big PHI shaft. We are a full service organization and it dont run on rainbows and gum drop smiles... We dont allow free loaders to leech off our membership. we will have a majority membership or you will not have a union, period. We arent here to coddle you, or tip toe around your feelers, you want to fix this sh$t$how? lets get it! You good with what you got? ok cool, thats a problem you gotta live with.

Don't like the union dribble. Don't particularly like thdribble in my shorts either; but they want old guys gone anyhow...

Go back to Hawaii oh wait they don't want you ether !

Try going to your CP/DO and negotiate your own salary, benefits and retirement and afterwards come back and tell us how successful you were. But first, have your unemployment strategy all worked out ahead of time. You're gonna need it. 

Union Organizers are salary employees, often not seeong their families for weeks at a time. I'm a union organizer and most of our members actually make more than I do. This is something you have to believe in, its not for greedy people trying to get rich. There are no bonuses for winning a campaign, just the incentive to do a good job and maybe you'll be promoted one day. Me, i'm a heavy equipment operator by trade. I'm not college educated or a politician, it's actually a really hard job. Imagine having to deal with people you dont even know trashing you everyday because someone asked you if your organization would please help them. People like you for example... You put in hour and hours of your pernosal time, late nights, research, calls at all hours trying to help a company with garbage pay, retirement and some serious safety issues. not to mention a 50% turnover rate per year, offering big bonuses for new hires but running them off before they get it and pinching every nickel they can out of their exixting employees... just to be sh$t on. I know what ive done for the helicopter mechanics ive organized in Louisiana. Their first contract they saw a $7 an hour raise, our mech II's make more than your leads running 3 hangers in 3 different cities...
