Are you saying that if in the future ALPA at FedEx strikes and FedEx contracts with Polar, Atlas, Gemini or others that they would not be considered Scabs according to your definition?

Was the ALPA strike in support of the IAM legal at EAL? Just trying to learn.

Hey Fox, it gets really complicated. When I was on strike, we got a guide from the MEC that was made in conjunction with ASA, ACA and Delta. It explained what struck work is and what to do if asked to perform it. It is impossible to memorize all the stuff, but rest assured, thosewho need to know the definition of struck work know! And woe be unto those who show up anyway!

Incorrect.

BOTH the ALPA and PFAA contracts allow for a sympathy strike, but both units have decided AGAINST such an action, stating that "... it would not be in our best interests..."

If both contracts allow for sympathy strikes, then what you have added is correct also. That doesn't make what I said incorrect. Absent such a Sympathy Strike provision, a group can't just up and strike.






Y'all are wasting your time responding to FoxHunter. He is not "just trying to learn." He is only here to stir the pot. He withdrew his membership from ALPA, stopped paying dues, lost his vote, and lost his voice.

Thanks, Lear. Actually, I have encouraged an illegal strike. When Hank Duffy and the Exec Council failed to go ahead with the SOS in the 80's over drug testing and security for crews, the die was cast. I would have walked over that one.

The CBA's at UA and USAir today (and the forthcoming one at NW) are the inevitible result of the failure of labor to maintain cohesion over the past couple of decades. We are getting what we asked for.

ALPA National is run by a bunch of politically motivated ground hogs who are more afraid of airplanes than a class of "fearful flyers". At least the people in the class are trying to get in an airplane instead of desperately trying to avoid it.

Good luck NWA people. Remember, you can't fly an airplane if you writer's cramp. TC

No Tony, I have not lost my voice. You have just no chosen to listen. You are one of the guys that spoke in favor of the FPA/ALPA merger. Your are correct that I opposed it. I had always stated that ALPA had become weak and inefffective. FedEx pilots were sold a Lemon.
