The Airline Division is committed to providing the membership with up to date
information about the merger process. Below are the important developments that
occurred over the past week.
The Resource Utilization Letter which provides the membership with
greater leverage was finalized. Last week, we distributed a FAQs sheet
to address questions about the Resource Utilization Letter. To view it, go to www.teamsterair.org under the “Weekly
Dispatch” button.
Mechanics and Related at sub CMI now have a Tentative
Agreement. The work rules and economics are in line with both the sub
CO and sub UA agreements. A bullet point update has been released to this group.
After it is checked for editing errors, the full tentative agreement will be
made available.
The AD addressed training issues with company leadership.
Last week on the Chief Steward call, concerns regarding peer to peer
OJT were raised. According to the company, training will be done a majority of
the time by either same subsidiary hourly workers or members of management. In
smaller cities where these resources are not available, other means of providing
the training will be used.
System/Joint Board hearings continue on schedule. A sub UA
Joint Board session was held in Denver on March 29th. Due to the
nature of the case, only one grievance was heard for this session. The next
Joint Board will be an all day session held in Chicago on Aril 25th.
The next System Board hearings for sub CO will be an all day session held April
10th in Newark.
Local Union and AD Representatives will hold preliminary meeting with
Ralph Berger to discuss seniority integration on April 17th in Miami.
The purpose of this meeting will be to provide historical documentation
from previous mergers and to get Mr. Berger’s schedule to begin meetings with
rank and file members of the committee. Mr. Berger requested this second meeting
without the member committee so the individual Locals can outline what the
individual station "integration committees" have been researching and working on
i.e. different seniority integration systems/procedures used in other cases,
laws and documents they feel apply to the process, etc. Mr. Berger expressed his
desire to have as much information available to him so he can have a good
understanding of what is ahead before meeting and formally starting the
"National Seniority Integration" committee, made up of one member from each of
the largest cities.
Furloughed members urged to update their addresses. Members
on furlough are advised to keep their addresses current with the company while
on layoff. It is predicted that there will be many movements this year and there
have been several members that have been removed from the seniority list because
old addresses were on file when notices were sent. If you are in touch with a
furloughed member, please forward this information to them. Updates may be
emailed to: ESC@united.com . The ESC will
provide a fax number and ask members to send the address change accompanied with
a signature.
