And your price to sit at the AFA-CWA dinner table increases 10% , beginning June 1, 2008
That is no "Friend" of mine.
You continue to have to work 100 hours to make a living wage and your union makes their marriage to CWA official in October 2007, by agreeing to raise your dues over 10% to $43.00 per month. Where is the fairness? Where is a democratic membership vote? Reality: You must hold your LEC accountable. Ask how your LEC President voted. The only NWAAFA base to overwhelming vote "against" the dues increase.........San Francisco

The House of AFA continues to pride itself on it's bottom up power structure, insisting the power of the organization is in your hands. But the disgruntled AFA membership is discovering maybe within your hands but always just out of reach......If the power is from the bottom up,why then, is the sitting Queen reigning in a whopping salary of $108,000* piece of the pie per year while you continue to work under the AFA negotiated 40% paycuts?? Sounds like a "top-down" money structure at the least.
What good has AFA and the top hierarchy proven? Why do the LEC officials struggle and continue to fight to bring every dollar back to the LEC level to represent you; while the corrupt House of AFA continues to eat up your membership dollars??
Outrageous pay for a "Friend"ly token, with no power........What good is she, other than eating up your dues??? Why not eliminate her position and give raises to the LEC where all the "power" is located??
The corrupt and undemocratic AFA structure has been very methodical in their constitutional changes. Why do you suppose they have "scattered" election cycles on the LEC level?? This prevents any type of reform within AFA. By scattering the election cycles, AFA allows current fiefdoms to remain in power while preventing any drastic changes with alternate year elections. This also keeps the AFA organization from remaining accountable to the membership and prevents a democratic ticket from creating sweeping reforms, systemwide. This is exactly how money-mongering Patricia Friend has remained in power for years!
During the past couple of years, nearly bankrupt AFA found itself in a precarious situation and was forced to merge with another standing union to stay afloat. Despite being on the brink of bankruptcy, AFA continues today to gobble up the cash with the deep pockets of their merger partner CWA. Ask your AFA officials how much AFA owe the CWA union and when they expect this debt to be paid???
Who continues to feed this money grubbing machine?? YOU
Despite the semantics of some union officials that their FPL (flight pay loss) is being paid by CWA and NOT AFA......who do they think is CWA????? YOU and your dues! The last LM-2 filed with the Department of Labor was 2006 and AFA had coffers worth $2 and membership of zero.....Check it out for yourself at http://erds.dol-esa.gov/query/getOrgQry.do AFA, as a lone union, does not exist. AFA is CWA. CWA is AFA. SHAME on Danny Campbell for insisting that the generousity of CWA is funding his campaign at Delta; rather than acknowledging your hard working dues are contributing to his FPL. Your dues are helping pay these costs no matter how you divide the pie. Period.
$54, 544..... While you were working under a 40% pay cut, "part time" CWA employee Danny Campbell earned over $54,000 while on union leave at Northwest! A mobilization campaign appointee; someone you never even elected!! But Danny claims you did not pay his wages......Your dues go into the CWA coffers: let him know you are not stupid and what you think of his flippant and disingenuous response!

The rising costs of AFA-CWA dues, enables the outrageous fea$t to continue........

I assume that $108,000 does not include her AFA retirement. That's right, not her United retirment (which was turned over to the PBGC), but her own, special, AFA retirement.
How can she dare to complain about executive compensation when she is doing the exact same thing?
As for Mr. Campbell, what a crock. He was the person who thought the salaries at PFAA were too high (not that it stopped him from collecting the salary while he was on the negotiating committee) and felt that union officials should only be paid flight pay loss. That being the case, exactly which of us is making $54,000 working PART TIME?
I suppose it is like "Animal Farm"....all pigs are equal, but some pigs are more equal than other.
Oink, oink Pat and Danny.
