AMR BOD PICKETING
†
Still have empty pockets? Still ready to protest? Join us†next Wednesday, May 18, 2011†at the Hyatt Regency Century City Los Angeles as we picket the annual†AMR Board of Directors†Meeting.
†
Apparently the Board and executives think that they can hide from the angry masses of†Flight Attendants†and shareholders who demand performance for compensation.††They are WRONG!†We must continue to expose the insatiable gluttony of Americanís executives to the public and demonstrate to the shareholders that corporate greed must stop.
†
If youíre not flying†on May 18, we need you on the picket line starting at 0700 on the sidewalk in front of the hotel.
†
HIDING CORPORATE GREED?

Corporate greed?†We know all about it!†The historic†Wall Street Reform†and†Consumer Protection Act†was just signed into law by†President Obama†in 2010.†Already Republicans want to repeal certain portions of the Act to shield greedy CEOs from reporting their salaries as required by the CEO-to-worker compensation ratio disclosure provision.†Instead of working to make sound business decisions, corporations have been working to repeal key†provisions of the financial disclosure reform bill.† Apparently, there are those who†believe providing this information is just too ìburdensomeî.
†
As part of the hard working and struggling middle class, we need to stand up for our rights and say ìnoî to allowing this repeal.† Donít let greedy CEOs try and hide their outrageous salaries under the rock of corporate cover-up.†Write or call†your representative and tell them you do NOT support HR 1062 and they shouldnít either.†While†we, the Flight†Attendants, have†waited seven long years for a contract, the executives at American†continue to take millions of†dollars in bonuses.†
†
And by the way, should this legislation pass, our†CEO Gerard†Arpey†and AMR, will be shielded from providing this information.†No wonder they want to keep it a secret!
