How many free flight hours was he given to spew this crap... he’ll enjoy being chartered every day when Flexjet has no pilots left

 

[EnFuego]

No Franks! And now no Frans either.

Who was that?

Is he somebody important? or just a third party trying to get between my union and management.

From Wikipedia:

In 1999, Tarkenton was fined by federal regulators as part of a securities fraud sweep. According to the LA Times, "In Tarkenton's case, the Hall of Fame quarterback and 10 other former executives of his computer software and consulting firm, KnowledgeWare Inc., were accused of inflating by millions of dollars the company's earnings in reports for its fiscal year ended June 30, 1994. The former Minnesota Vikings quarterback agreed to pay a $100,000 fine and $54,187 in restitution. He did not admit any wrongdoing".[SUP][23][/SUP]
Since then, Tarkenton has been promoting various products and services including Tony Robbins and 1-800-BAR-NONE. He also founded GoSmallBiz, a small-business consulting website. He also operates an annuity marketing firm called Tarkenton Financial.


So basically, he's washed-up and desperate. Like a lot of the gents you guys are fighting against.

[h=1]Looks like Fran is the odd man out....[/h][h=1]The National Football League Players Association Supports Your Union[/h]

[FONT=&quot] When Flexjet released a video of Fran Tarkenton trash talking your Union, we contacted his former union, the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), for support. We are pleased to inform you that the NFLPA issued a strong statement against decertification at Flexjet. Below is the NFLPA statement supporting the Teamsters at Flexjet:[/FONT]​ ​ [h=2]NFLPA Statement on Flexjet Pilots Union Vote[/h][FONT=&quot] "The National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) has learned that the professional pilots of Flexjet are currently voting in a decertification election. The election will determine whether Flexjet pilots will continue to have collective bargaining rights and representation on the job. From one professional union to another, the NFLPA urges all Flexjet pilots to vote to remain unionized. There is no substitute for union representation and a collective bargaining agreement. Unions ensure that members receive professional respect and due process. Collective bargaining provides members with a process to obtain a fair share of the revenues they generate for their employers.[/FONT]​ ​ [FONT=&quot] The NFLPA has a proud history of hard fought labor disputes to advance the rights and interests of our members. Our members regularly support other unions fighting to protect their own members. Again today, the NFLPA and players of the National Football League proudly stand with the Teamsters and members of IBT Local 1108 in the effort to keep Flexjet a unionized air carrier."[/FONT]​ ​
