THIS IS A PETITION TO REMOVE LAURA GLADING FROM OFFICE

tenure leading us to a no way out situation. Taking away our Vote..IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE!!!!
Laura gave up our full right to negotiate when she met with Kirby to agree to the CLA. The CLA gave away our right to negotiate fully by chaining us to a short road leading to arbitration.
At the CLT meeting Laura was questioned about her going to Kirby's wedding. She floundered in her response. She admitted she attended the wedding when Kirby kept asking her to be a guest. No other union person from any other union at the company was at the wedding. This shows how blurred the lines are with Laura and the rest of APFA. There was another comment here about Leslie Mayo taking a corporate jet with Kirby to a APFA meeting sometime after the merger was announced.
Re:
Wow thanks for the information and explanation. I just learned yesterday that Laura Glading's Uncle is a Vice President of Accounting at US Airways. This is total corruption of a Union!
new contract that she participated in crafting. She ,Laura Gladdig , APFA and AFA former Int'l President, Vida Shook made pre-merger agreements with Doug Parker .This "pact" guaranteed Parker PBS, a gutted health care plan, pay cuts in many parts of our previous contracts, poor work rules , a pay raise which is a joke ( American now with USAirways makes more money than ANY airline in the world) .this contract is touted by APFA as INDUSTRY LEADING , yet we F/As are threatened with take it or you'll do worse with arbitrator. Is this the " New American"? The largest most profitable airline in history. Poorest paid of the major carriers. Lets do a comparison Southwest and Delta and put it in the nat'l news papers.
Good.
Remive her and all union leaders.
Do not remove my signature.
Thanks.
This woman is a flat out lier. I was at the phl road show on Tuesday and she told us straight out that no more negotiations would happen. Her words were the company will not budge. She has no regard for the LUS F/As. LG has made it very clear she is out to get this TA to pass after her moves today. Well good luck with that one LG.
She must leave.
At this point I've lost all hope in LG to accomplish her duties. She is more than disconnected with the flight attendants, she's turned on us. The rules and language in this new TA were written to satisfy her and her fellow corporate goons! She does not have the flight attendant's best interest at heart. She is a weak negotiator and is out of touch with the flight attendants on the field. She must leave. The corruption must come to an end!
Laura made the deal in principle with the company before she brought it to the JNC. She told them the company was willing to eliminate the hard 40. Laura made the deal without advising the base presidents or the executive committee. Laura is making her own rules. Since she is not running again she is preparing for her next job after she leaves office. She will make sure she is seen as the savior of the AA flight attendants.
She was voted in to represent our needs, she has been paid to do the job. She failed miserably.
Re: Minimum
#171: - LG If your reading this no that the T.A. will not pass. It might have a chance if you get us at least 10,000 signing bonus like Delta recievied from there non union company. A 100,000 buy out like united. 12% raise from the D.O.S 3% increase like all unionized goverment employees. Severense pay, furlough pay. No hard 40. The tax free per diem must at least match southwest but 3.00hr and 5.00hr Int is a good start. Crew meals for over 7hrs flying and sit time pay. Plus all federal hollidays paid at 2 times our pay and most inportsantly profit shairing to match the piolets at leasst half or salery active or not. Sighn in pay of some sort. This should be a a minimum.

Subject
If we are 24000 F/As strong, it is time to show it. Corrupting management can't be changed right now but corrupted union leaders can be. The New American deserves new union leaders that work for their membership. Tired of unions that praise themselves and manipulate the masses to please the company. Don't insult me. Show me that you listen to your members, know what they want and fight for it. If you don't back me up, you don't have my vote.
