To those who sent in all the comments we have received, I will let you know that this is the direction we have chose to move forward............with the I.A.M! I'm not positive there is anyone else left?

Over the life of this quest, we have allowed AMFA, Teamsters and even attempted to go it alone.......and here we sit 8-10 years later, no better off, EXCEPT with less benefits and a vanishing retirement (expect a 401k only in the not too distant future)!!

You need to understand that NO organization is perfect and I know there are those that have a bitter taste left over from a past experience with I.A.M. but it was the same with all the other ones when they were at the helm of the ship!

There is no PERFECT solution to our problem..........but it beats the hell out of what we currently have, a WORTHLESS HANDBOOK that will always lean in favor of what mgmt wants to decide.

Get TERMINATED, and see who is sitting beside you to fight on your behalf...........not a soul will be there to help you keep your career!! That's how the company wants it, because they can replace you with a new person that will NEVER see $50+/hour as a good percentage of us do now......?

So it totally lies in your hands of how we forget about the past and quit making excuses, because none of that matters at this point, as we are running out of options to join the pilots to obtain protection of a written contract.

Give I.A.M. a chance to prove they have learned from past mistakes and get involved to seek answers to our problems that are blatantly obvious in a lot of areas in AirOps!

Over the next week or so, some of the information on this site will be moved to www.goiamfedex.org and once that happens, you will automatically be redirected from here.

We are also looking for some of you to step up and be willing to be strategic contact persons scattered out to adequately get our mission info shared with every AMT. Contact Randy Sherwood @ chiefsherwood@aol.com so that he has your info as we establish this drive! 
We need to get the numbers high enough to petition the NMB, that's something we never had happen before.  We think the IAM can get us there and represent us, JF1 and JF16 in our own Class and Craft.  Thats the goal....Only AMTs for AMTs.
My Father was a Teamster Truck Driver his whole life.  I know the ups and downs that come with representation.  One of the last things he said to me before he passed was "the Union may not be perfect, but it's allowed us to live a pretty good life".  I didn't really understand his comment at the time but I do now.  Signing enough cards gets us to the NMB.  Then it's up to the IAM Lawyers and FedEx to hash out who is in our class and craft.  It will be a long process, but sending in enough cards should be easy and quick.  You can sign a online card then download another and sign it and drop it in the mail.  It's preposted and easy.  Remember, we are involved in every step and will not sell ourselves out.
This is our last best chance to get to the NMB, let's do it this time.

WE CAN DO THIS AND DEMAND OUR RESPECT BACK!!!

Did you know that on September 30th, 2014, Dave Bronczek On Sep 30th, sold 44,786 shares FedEx for a handsome pay out of $7,306,388.

Hmmm.

Sit tight, as I'm sure he'll be by to personally thank each one of us for making that pocket change possible!! Oh......nah, probably not!

That's chump change. A couple weeks ago Smith cashed in $31 million in stock.

Fueled by our pension and healthcare!

There's a solution to that.....and all that's necessary is sign a card!

People are pissed throughout the system - substandard treatment, crap insurance, diluted pension - overall people have just had it with all the BS and corporate spin that this company is throwing our way.

They get rich off our sacrifices - sacrifices that we will all pay for later in life. Remember this folks. We are all being played, big time.

Can't wait to get this moving. The power of a contract is a beautiful thing. Just ask one of our pilots - living proof that we can do this. They have laughed all the way to the bank with the absolute best pension, healthcare and pay in the world while we have steadily gone down hill.

Thank you for sharing more of your pension and benefits to go toward acquiring yet another company!
