NEWS UPDATE: CHICAGO MEC MEETING

AFA RETREADS..........

From behind closed doors in the back room of the AFA UA MEC Board of Directors meeting in Chicago yesterday emerges the infamous Kevin Lum and Jack Kande as the two "appointees" to the UA Joint Negotiation Committee.

***It is interesting to note today the lengths that the MEC web site goes to in reiterating how the MEC participated in the "democratic" process - when in fact there is no democratic process at all for WORKING flight attendants. Their participation ends, as we all know, at the local council level and that representation in turn is compromised by a local president whose political views and votes are solely informed and motivated by her/his political and career aspirations within the CWA/afa and have nothing whatsoever to do with what a membership may or may not want.***
***Was the membership informed that there were 13 candidates for these two positions? Where their resumes' posted anywhere for the membership to read? How was the membership to know who the candidates were so we could let our LECP's know who we wanted them to vote for? And this is supposed to be a "democratic" union?!? Hardly.*** 
  
Thank You AFA for being so member driven and having the vision and foresight to set us back twenty years!
