TWU CHALLENGES AMFA TO FOUR DEBATES

As AMFA’s ongoing raid of TWU at American Airlines comes to a head, the TWU is challenging AMFA to four debates.

James C. Little, director of the TWU Air Transport Division, challenged O.V. Delle-Femine, AMFA’s national director, to two debates at the Renaissance Hotel in Tulsa on April 21 at 12 noon and 4 p.m.

Little then issued a challenge on behalf of a team of TWU’s rank-and-file supporters to debate a team of AMFA’s rank-and-file supporters at the Renaissance Hotel in Tulsa on April 27 at 12 noon and 4 p.m.

“After our personal debates, we challenge you to give our rank-and-file supporters the chance to debate the issues between themselves. Ultimately, they will be the ones affected by the outcome of this representational dispute. Their jobs are on the line and they are the ones who need to debate this decision,” Little wrote in a March 22 letter to Delle-Femine. “Since supporters of your organization failed to show up at the January 15 debate that we hosted in Tulsa – we will give AMFA one more chance to put its supporters in front of the membership.”

All members of mechanic and related class or craft from any and all airlines are invited to attend the four debates. The debates will also be open to the media.
