NEMSA getting it done at AMR in the North East!

 

          

                                    

             

 

 

After IAEP’s flagship Local 1 in Boston fell to NEMSA on September 21, 2006, NEMSA was officially certified as the AMR Northeast employee’s representative on October 6, 2006; since that time NEMSA members have been anything but quiet. In the first 45 days NEMSA has filed over 15 federal labor violation charges against AMR’s repeated unfair labor practices.  The NorthEast members responded to AMR’s violations with a very successfully executed informational picket, which shocked AMR and drew media coverage. 

 

The next action was to get the Shop Steward ranks up, so NEMSA solicited and received over 170 nominations, of which 135 new Shop Stewards were elected.  Scores of these new shop stewards have already received the in depth two day NEMSA training and are on the road armed and ready to go.  One of the former IAEP stewards stated “IAEP gave us a grand total of an hour and a half training, I learned more in the first 15 minutes from NEMSA.”
