Bill Nelson said:Someone called IAM and showed interest. Then an addtional 35% signed cards stating they would like their representation. Obviously some folk at JB would like to have IAM represent them.
The IAM didnt get 35% of the signed cards required returned to them so they didnt qualify for a vote. The NMB announced this two days ago. The union effort at JB via IAM has ended (for now). The real irony is that the IAM said when JB started they were against the company's start up and now they wanted to represent our ramp workers. The company has done nothing but supportive of our crewmembers all along.
The company has stated that if they have a union voted in they look at it as the company has failed its employees. Because management at JB believes that and backs it up with its actions, that is why so many of us dont see a need for/want a union.
