Compliance Concerns
Members are advised
to use an abundance of caution regarding compliance with maintenance manuals
and other controlled documents. There have been several issues across the
system of non-compliance and it appears the FAA is increasing its presence in
several cities. When caught up in a compliance issue make sure to file an
MSAP/ASAP report as soon as possible. Your flight safety rep or steward should
be able to guide you through the process. The License Protection Program is a
great safety net; but it's designed to be just that, a safety net.
Please don't rush
through a job without reading the proper paperwork; otherwise you open yourself
up to possible discipline and potential license action.
Division and Locals Attend Denver Steward
Training
On February 2nd
and 3rd Local 455 hosted a joint Steward and Management training
session on the new sub United collective bargaining agreement. A panel of
Business Agents and International Representatives explained the interpretations
of the new language to the audience while fielding clarifying questions. Prior
to the session the Stewards put together a list of frequently asked questions
which aided conversation over the two day seminar. Grievance Committee Chairman
Mitch Hunt kept the meeting on track and was aided by Committee Secretary Scott
Brown. Bill Langan - GQ Shop Steward said, “this was valuable training because it helped me
to understand the contract in layman’s terms.”
A special thanks to
Steve Vairma, Principal Officer of Local 455 for hosting the event, and also to
Business Agent John Hennelly for his work behind the scene and for making sure
the panel made it to the sessions.
