Be careful - don't fall!

Welcome back fans & foes! Here’s a lighter message for the masses. The union placed you way up high to get your dues support, and you are basking in their hypocritical sunlight. If you took the bribe then you are a fool with your money and trust. Be careful, don’t fall! I hope to keep the comments coming in. It looks like our pen-pal Jeff (GOIAM) has left us. What a shame. He was the only intelligent one who had balls enough to come defend the union’s position. And he’s not even from this union. He’s still wrong, he's still socialist, but at least he has some manhood. Our local union lacks courage. This is one of the reasons why we don’t want them. Not only are they stupid, they have no machismo about them. They smell like hairspray and talcum powder. None of their officers or representatives came on here to publicly defend the IAM933 way of thinking. They are afraid to get into an argument with a ghost! And they wear those rat buttons as if they were some sort of protective amulet or something. What a bunch of weaklings!

This June we are getting into full swing of the Petition Season. We wish to decertify this bumbling union before contract negotiations take place. To decertify the union, we must turn in our petitions to the NLRB between 90 and 60 days before the present contract expires. That is the Law. The NLRB needs petitions two months early to let them set up an election before contract negotiations. If the election decertifies the union, they will cancel negotiations, period. The company will then convert into having all of us under salary guidelines. If you are sick of this group of fools determining your pay, send in your signature now. I wish to thank each and every one who has gone to the trouble to send theirs in early. It’s working! Encourage your friends to send theirs in too.

.

I’ve been complaining for a while about how this socialist organization lives on the backs of the working class. Now I’m going to show you again. Here are highlights from the union’s annual LM-2 Form for 2008. It’s one of the same documents posted on http://www.iam933.net/finance.html except it’s the latest one! Look at where the money goes over at the union! It looks like Lori is the only one that earns her pay. Jimbo and Steve get excessive pay for what they do. And look at all those thousands of dollars going to the anointed seven!

John Catalano Cond/Sent $2,722

Elizabeth Hunter Trustee $2,885

Meicheile Juve Rec. Secy $2,560

Louis Martinez EBoard $2,980

Ramon Rodriguez Sec-Treas $1,860

Victor Duarte EBoard $1,470

Darron Stafford EBoard $2,824

Lori Jenness Office Staff $47,351

Steven Taylor BR $74,148

James Watson DBR $91,966
These guys making thousands of extra per year aren’t feeling the pain like you did in 06. At this rate, they will make their whole strike loss back by this year! Are you willing to fill their wallets with your money? Fight Back! Quit and Sign the Petition Now!

.
Remember the vote back in Nov 2006 and Jan 2007?For union members these numbers look pretty familiar. For the rest of us, this sums up why union moral is low.

Contract Vote on 5 November 2006:

1140 – reject 106 – accept -- 1246 – votes total

1018 – strike 111 – opposed -- 1129 – votes total

Capitulation Vote on 14 January 2007:

766 – Yes, 186 – No, 200 – members crossed – 147 – unknown?

.
The 2008 LM-2 shows union membership. This year they reported a two percent increase. This is total membership within all companies they represent.

Total Members/Fee Payers 1,688

Regular Members 1,188

Retired, Life, & Exempt Members 480

Unemployed Members 20

.
With the AIKIMA Corp on the Air Base joining the ranks of the union, it looks like they succeeded in conquering that organization, and the employees within it. It doesn’t show how their levels within RMS have changed. But they have tricked some of their former members into rejoining their group. Poor fools, I guess they’ll never learn. They need to come down off the ladder.

Run Run Run! Jump to union prosperity! Hurry!

The union has no balls! They just have slogans. Scare tactics to keep the money pouring in. Now there is a rebellion going on and it’s about time. If only they could send us rebels to the banish hole! In the perfect socialist dream nobody would challenge their lame ideas.
Here is a collection of union slogans to review. IAM933 teaches their people to repeat these slogans to get people to fork over their money like the rest. If you join this union, you will fall into their hole. The proof is in the bottom dollar. See illustration.

Recent IAM slogans fall into one of six basic categories. Lets examine them.

1. “At will employment”: read here http://www.iam933.net/art.pdf “At will” sounds scary to the ill informed. Until you read Arizona Law.
2. The company won’t negotiate with you, nor give raises. Ask ten thousand salaried RMS workers if that’s true. They’ll laugh in your face!
3. Get rid of IAM and the Company will take away everything! Salaried workers have not lost a thing, so the Company has a record of proving the union wrong. Oh yea, it’s illegal in Arizona to “take away wages” without a demotion.
4. The Company will replace you with others for less! Aerospace workers are in limited supply. They can’t replace us, especially for less pay!
5. Everyone should make the same wage. No they should not! People should make what their skill entitles them to, based upon the need within the hiring market. Stalin sold the idea of equal pay. Look how well that worked. UAW Ruined US Autos. Will IAM ruin the Aerospace industry?
6. You need us to protect you. You need that like a hole in the head. The union is a greedy business, they need your money and free servitude to function. Why else would they let the sluggards remain in the membership?

“Jeff” has hung around to challenge us. He disagrees with our position against his union. He repeats these same slogans because he is a salesman for the union. Either he knows his words are propaganda for socialism and condones it, or he is a useful “tool” of the union by spouting off without fully understanding what they mean. Either way, the evidence is clear. This union is a money sucking leach. Below are some of Jeff’s words. Read them & follow the numbers to match the slogans:

-If you feel the salaried ranks are such a good spot to be, then get a salaried job. But wait, that would lead to employment at-will. So be careful. 1 , 6
-"Right to work for less" state. 1
-The company will not give out raises or anything if they do not have to per a collective bargaining agreement. 2
-Once again, get rid of the IAM and the company will walk all over you. Taking away money and benefits. 3, 6
-Lose the IAM and you WILL lose money and benefits. 3, 6
-The company will seek out people that will be willing to do your job for LOTS less. 4
-I foresee the company taking away wages, benefits and working conditions. 3
-The only way the workers have been able to keep wages, benefits and such is by standing together as a united front. 2, 6
-You think you are such the great worker that the company will fall apart without you. That they can not find someone out there to do what you do for less money, no 401k or match, no pension and as few other benefits as possible. 4, 6
-And then they will try to make you all the same classification so they can pay you LOTS less. Grunt 1 and Grunt 2…4, 6
-Personally I have no problem with what others make where I work. The company WILL go out and find those people willing to work for less. It will happen. 4
-And if I needed the job, I would be one of those people to move in and take yours for less wages. 4
-I would prefer to get a GWI for the entire bargaining unit with no classification raises that a smaller GWI with classification raises for a few. 5
-The company loves when their workers are not united. 6
-They know that with a divided work force there are a ton of things they can do and get away with; from changing policies and directives to offering little in the way of wages and benefits during negotiations. 6
-Without a Union these things would have been done without most people even knowing about it until it was too late. 6

.

The union is a farce. When you hear these lines, you know they came from the Wipisinger school of socialism. They ask you to join so you can make change, but their constitution prohibits you from making good changes to the union. Once you join, you are boxed in by their rules. Don't believe it? Read their Constitution . The only good answer is to remove them and start fresh.

.

There is still time to get rid of IAM933. But if we get into Negotiation Season, then the window of opportunity will have past to Oust the union until 2012. If you want to sign the petition, but have not felt the impulse to do so yet, get motivated. Visit http://www.iam933.net/pet.html to get a copy of the petition and mail it in today!

Oust933 !

Recycle the Union

Have you heard the union is going to strike again? Oh but now they fear it in a down economy. Let them strike. We'll party inside like last time! Luncheons and breakfast fiestas while our union freezes out by the blue barrels, waiting for hope; a breakthrough that never comes.
Brothers, don't listen to that call for strike! The company will take your jobs as fast as the law will permit. Hundreds are waiting in line for Raytheon Jobs. Instead, throw this union to the trash! Recycle the union, start fresh.

.
We needed a union that would attract smart people,instead of slugs. Everyone knows the union carries the dead weight of the Company. Even the top dogs in the union admit it. What did they do to fix it, after years of complaints? ? So lets fix them! They're too stupid to run a union. And these dunces have been in charge for 57 years!

.
Stop paying these idiots ruin your lives.

Start paying attention to the lies they tell.

What other union has a membership drive?

Any one is better than this union from hell!

Rat Party at 369 W Ajo Way

Have you seen the "No union buster rat" buttons lately? It shows how your union offers respect for those with different ideas from your rodents at Ajo Way Ed. Didn't you demand respect during the strike? Didn't IAM933 whine endlessly about our respectful t-shirts that only say "I am not 933 - I can speak for myself"?" You guys began to wear Ghostbuster tee shirts and that was a hit! (we laughed at that one) Now you pull out rat-buttons. Well, here's to your respect Ed. It takes some to get some. So I raise you one. See the picture, and take a good look Ed. This is how the rest of us in labor see your dirty little club. Also, ten thousand others who can't speak see your filthy group the same way. Don't you wonder why salaried folks look down their nose at you? It's the hypocrisy factor Ed. The more you loosers push us freedom fighters, the worse you look to red-blooded American Employees at RMS.

.
So it looks like you've got a trend Ed. You taught your members to ignor non members for years, not even to acknowledge them. (Respect training #1) Then your heavy-weights go wishing the ill-will of non members after they are assaulted by the East Side Slasher! Now you've officially sanctioned disrespect with your little union rat-buttons. Don't go whining about disrespect again Ed. You have no ground to stand on. We're keeping record, and we'll show everyone next time you cry to HR. I hope some creative individual out there makes a t-shirt of this picture and wears it on Thursday. It will serve you right.

.
To the rest of RMS employees out there: We are taking petitions now. Go to the main website at http://www.iam933.net/ and follow instructions to decertify this bunch of ratatouilles. Do it now. Don't wait another day to send in your signature. Lets all give them the boot. Let's put Jimbo and Steve back on the floor working like the rest of us (have you seen their pay?). And let's give Ed something to think about. A concience.

Union Hate

Two weeks ago the Eastside Serial Slasher attacked a Raytheon worker. It hit all the papers and news channels. A horrible crime committed, and the victim was left in a pool of blood to die, but for the help of others at the scene when they arrived minutes later. That Raytheon worker just happens to not be a member of the union. What unfolded after news reached the manufacturing floor opened a Pandora’s box that shocked factory managers.
.
Oust 933 has been saying for years now, that this union preaches hate. It sells odious rancor and profits from the venom is sews into the hearts of its victims (members) every few Sundays at Ajo Way. The manifestation of that hate revealed itself with the words uttered by one of the union’s militant tribesmen to another willing minion of the school of hate.
“That’s one less scab we need to worry about.” Poison words that pissed off most everyone who heard of the comment, including a majority of the union members within the factory.
.
So another worker was heard to have reported the comments to the managers. This took unreal courage and a noble spirit. To place one’s conscience above the syndicate is an act of nobility. But then the trouble started. Those two offensive unionists who were morbidly joking about their coworker’s demise were sent packing to god-knows-where. Banished from the work center. Sent to work in the salt mines at Rita Road. Good Riddance!
.
So now this leaves the union in a touchy situation. They can support these sleaze bags that embarrassed the “good brotherhood” or they can choose to oust them for being so inhumane. My money is on them condoning the scumbags. Union members, if you find this disturbing, then rise up! If good union workers don’t force the union leadership to oust these lowlifes, then you are part of the problem. Add this one reason to why I want this union banished from the workplace.
.
It’s a filthy cabin full of unwashed disgusting hate mongers who rule by fear and intimidation. You poor fellow workers who feel you must belong to the union to protect your job, may God have pity on your soul. Prove me wrong…kick out these louses or accept them along with their message of hate in solidarity. The floor managers at Raytheon are in shock that some of their workers stoop this low. They are naïve to the hate that this union has preached over the past two and a half years. We’ve been telling them since all along. Now they know it’s true.
.
And on a completely different note:
A new dues structure was approved. Effective 2009, monthly dues are two and one half times your base pay per hour per month. Effective 2010 those dues go up to 3 times! Isn’t it sweet how the union talks about the dues increase using the Custodian’s paycheck? “For example: A Custodian that makes 10.00 an hour will pay 25.00 a month for 2009….in 2010…dues will be 30 a month.” Why don’t they use an Assembler’s paycheck with more than twice the pay of a Custodian to exemplify the new dues rates? Does 62 dollars a month for dues sound like it’s too much for any members? How about 75 dollars a month for other workers? That’s what your union has done for you in 2010. No RONA, No 9/80s, No Merit pay. How deep into your pockets do they need to go before you say “Oust 933!!!”

Naiveté

The union president believes we are a small bunch of naive anti-union workers! If we're so insignificant, why dedicate the front inside page of their January Newsletter to an argument against us? "While millions of workers see the obvious benefits of unions, these miss guided souls want to replace collective bargaining with individual begging" Ed Quintana Jan 2009.
.
Mr. Quintana would know about begging, because that's just what he did to get back into the company in January of 2007. He and the rest of the union leaders begged the Company to let them in, and make it look like they saved face. The facts are the union LOST the last contract negotiation, because they followed the guidance of the national union, and their socialist directives. They struck because they have no WORD. They sought vengeance for the contract of 2003, plain and simple. Then you workers took it in the shorts.
.
Edward continues his position by claiming..."the company continues to look for ways to give our work away to engineers, sub contractors and NAPI." He thinks the company is wrong by hiring others to do the work that they wouldn't, couldn't or won’t do. The union isn't faster, cheaper or better." Your union has corrupted the minds of workers and made their work slower, less cost efficient and of less quality. They taught contempt for the Company, and for their co-workers. This has a corrosive effect that shows in the quality, quantity, and suitability of our product. They don't respect their non-union coworkers, or the management.
.
When you all hired on at Raytheon, you were very thankful of the job that you got. You didn't need a union to get you the position. The pay you got was strictly a convenience of Raytheon, not your union, as they would have you believe. Now Edward says that you should give up more of your pay to him because you are seasoned loyalists to his regime, and have lived through the stupidest of strikes. He wants you to perform the self-sacrifice while he follows the path of Bobby M. up the trail to get his share of the regional pie. Most red-circled employees are without pay raises because the union forgot you in 2003.
.
But Ed charms you with phrases like..”maturity, foresight and self-sacrifice that will carry us through to successful negotiations, growth, and a brighter future...." Horsefeathers! He just wants to keep you padding his payrolls. He wants you to talk US into joining his merry band of victims. "Let us continue to carry our message to the hundreds of hourly (victims) workers still not in the union." Let us sign up the qualified (have paycheck?) applicants, build our (My) union, save (the union) and prepare for the coming (end) year. LMAO! Edward you are naive! You play an old socialist song.
.
Give us non-union workers the same opportunity the salaried people have, and we'll outstrip your pay-raises and brighter future by a long shot! Tell Management you want to break the labor camp apart, those who are in, and those who are out. Those who remain with the union are in. The rest of us will gladly go "begging" for our pay & benefits. We'll also get RONA, performance based pay raises and a fair chance to opportunity that your silly union makes impossible because of its confrontational attitude.
.
Better yet, maybe all you union folks should join us in canning this union so you can see for yourselves what a little hard work and loyalty to your employer might get you. It’s much more than "hope for a brighter future in the years to come".

Thrown Out

With all the chatter going on throughout RMS these days about the union, it's a wonder more of us aren't talking about the President of the Union's 5 Day Adventure! Posted on our Union Shadow Box in late February was a note from the President about what NOT TO DO if you didn't want an unpaid vacation from the Company.

.

Apparently he's been taking his PTO without getting prior approval from his boss. The company has a rule about this, and the supervisor is required to have a chat with the worker about it when violations become evident, and need correction. I guess that chat didn't serve as enough warning to Mr President, as he continued to do as he saw fit. So the Company gave him a five day sabbatical to think about it's rules.

.

Mr President, I'll tell you as my steward told me, "why don't you just quit?!" Its obvious you don't like working here. It's apparent that you hold the company in contempt. Maybe you could just quit the union and come to our side of things. Work for a living, and show that you love supporting the company that makes the finest missiles in the world for the best darned Army, Air Force, Navy & Marines on the planet. Everyone I know says you're a wonderful guy. But your union is a sham!

.

The petition to decertify the union is going on right now at http://www.iam933.net. Go there and follow instructions. Its easy, its painless, its good for you, and its good for America.
