Please read the above news article.

AMR is for sale. This may not be a good thing for us.

We need an organization like IAEP during this sale.

We don’t need a startup company going to bat for us when they have never been in the game before. Remember – if we vote in IAEP 30% of AMR employees nation wide will be under the same IAEP safety net. When we are sold and the new owner wants to cut jobs or benefit packages we need powerful representation nation wide. Yes NEMSA has one contract but that is not enough experience . When and if the sh%t hits the fan we must have a cleanup hitter in the dugout. IAEP is the BIG HITTER.
