IBT 1108 Flex Union

[rsm]

I'm not sure about these guys. Turned my card in signed up for website months ago and still no access. I have emailed them 5 times and not even a response. Does not seem very proffesional to me. Anybody got any help or suggestions in this matter. I,m very interested just don't understand why they refuse to answer my simple question as why I cant sign on to their website. It has been since October. Thanks!!

I AM sure about these guys:

pay from 43k a year to 129k a year
work rules awsome
protections are perfections
ect ect ect.....

hang in there big fella, i have lots of contact at flexjet and nobody seems to be having a problem getting on the site.

however its 1108.org and i am sure replies to your post will be coming that can help.

RSM, it took them several months to allow me and several others I know, access to the site. All I can say is be patient.

RSM,

They are verifying if you are a management cronie I'm sure. That might take some time...or never if you are a cronie!

once again just another FINE example how UNIONS treat people.
They rank right up there with LAWYERS, oh wait they do have LAWYERS, no wonder they SUCK!

 

[imacdog]

so Hauling, what perfect non-union job do you work at?

Getting tired of you turning every thread into a union bashing one. Thankyou NJ's for the raise, most of us here realize this. Remember folks we are all in this together.

I think we all are.

Now hold on a minute...

Most of the guys doing all the work at the Union are VOLUNTEERS! At least that's how I've seen it at FLOPs. Our MEC, the negotiating committee, P2P members and all those who originally organized. Go easy on these guys/gals they are probably busy with other stuff. Instead of bashing folks for a slow response, try to get involved. Remember, a Union IS THE PILOTS! Not just five guys sitting in a room making everything happen.

I'm tired of every thread saying the union is the best thing, you must send in your cards, etc......

you have your opinion and I have mine, that's what makes eveyone different.

Hopefully enough Flex guys will send in their cards to at least allow a vote. Sending in a card is neither a yes nor a no vote - it only allows the folks to vote yes or no at some point.

Unions are not the end all answer to the myriad of challenges facing the aviation career, but they certainately can help in some area's. Being able to negotiate in good faith your wages, QOL issues, insurance scenario and very importantly some job security are things that to me make chipping in 1.5% a worthy investment.

but the problem is, you are spewing crap that is not true.

 

[haulingthemail]

why does everyone else wish flex to send in their vote card? Is it becasue you aren't happy with your union so you want flex to be miserable with you?

 

[DirtyBeech]

No numbnut, you'll find that most of those wanting Flex to send in their cards are the very content folks at NJ's. They actually want us to improve out QOL here at Flex. What a novel concept. They want inprovements for their fellow pilots while you with your vitiolic whines want to keep the status quo.

Flex people want others to send their cards in so we at least have a choice as to whether a union is on property or not. Right now we have only what scraps management will dish out in response to other companies at the behest of it's union busting advisers. I'd at least like to have the choice, and see what the other 450+ crewmemebrs think.
