UCubed
You lost your job.  You're not alone.  31 million Americans face the same challenges.  You want your job back.  You want your life back.  But you can't do it alone.  Neither can anyone else.  You all need each other.  You lost your job.

1939: IAM signs first union agreement in air transport industry with Eastern.

Voting Rules, Interference Stymie Delta Workers

Despite a high number of votes for the IAM, the election for 91 flight simulator technicians at the recently merged Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines was declared invalid by the NMB when fewer than 50 percent plus one of eligible employees participated in the Internet and telephone voting.The Machinists Union received 40 of the 43 valid votes cast.

Delta Air Lines interfered in the election process in violation of the Railway Labor Act and IAM attorneys are reviewing what steps to take next. This matter is not closed.

Unlike traditional political elections in the U.S., as well as representation elections for workers covered by the National Labor Relations Act, a simple majority of votes cast is not sufficient to prevail in elections for the nation's air and rail employees.

In addition to a 50 percent plus one participation requirement, the current NMB rules count all un-cast ballots as votes against union representation.

IAM Signs Historic Agreement
 with Japanese Aviation Federation

 

The IAM is the first North American transportation union to enter into an alliance agreement with the Japan Federation of Aviation Workers' Unions (KOHKUREN), the largest federation of air transport workers in Japan. Both the IAM and KOHKUREN represent workers at the same airlines, including Northwest/Delta, United, Continental and others.
 
"With the potential of a merger between United and Continental, Delta's attempt to consolidate in Asia and the impact foreign carrier alliances have on domestic airlines, the IAM-KOHKUREN alliance provides the unprecedented opportunity to jointly protect wages and benefits of our combined membership," said International President Tom Buffenbarger.
 
"Our two great organizations represent the best hope that air transport workers have for a better life in the face of severe challenges posed by the globalization of the aviation industry," said IAM Transportation General Vice-President Robert Roach, Jr., who addressed KOHKUREN's National Convention in Tokyo. "The Alliance agreement we have signed sends a wake-up call to any international airline that still believes an ocean can separate our members. It serves as further testament to our continuing efforts to strengthen our coordination of organizing and collective bargaining activities with our brothers and sisters in Japan."
