Just got a phone call tonight. Apparently the Teamsters are not too happy with the uproar within the pilot group. They have threatened 150 pilots who have been outspoken about our RIGHT to representation in support of our WRONGFULLY terminated Captain and First Officer. These threats have included fining the pilots with outrageous sums of money, and then having those pilots terminated on grounds of "Not withstanding Union Member." All because comments have been made about holding an election to remove the IBT and hold a vote for new representation.
It is no secret that our own Union is robbing us, not only of our money but the representation we PAY for. The Teamsters is forgetting one very important thing - THEY WORK FOR US. WE PAY THEIR SALARY. If they think they are going to threaten our jobs and our livelyhood, they have got another thing coming to them. If these threats come to each member personally, or they come to fruition, the IBT, along with each of its EXCO members, will be presented with a Federal Law suit from the Department of Labor on behalf of those pilots threatened.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. If you are a Republic Airways Pilot, NOW is the time to stand united with your pilot group and your fellow coworkers. We will not let the unjust actions that occured to our 8 year Captain, J. ,go unpunished. I don't care whether you think the Teamsters do anything for you or not, what they are doing is ILLEGAL an IMMORAL. It is time to stand behind your fellow brother on the line.
Regardless of what Union representation you want at this company, stand behind us to rid this company of the IBT. We can not do this without your support, and without your support, 150 pilots will surely go down fighting. We want a vote to decertify the Teamsters.
This is the turning point in our pilot group. I am a junior pilot here, but there are countless Republic brothers much senior to me that are rising up to fight for this pilot group and I stand behind them 100%. Please do not let them down, please do not let us down.
Spread the word, because the revolution is coming, either you're in or your out. And don't worry about ILLEGAL threats from the Teamsters, one more threat and we take this entire case to the media, including the Department of Labor and the NMB.
