CMI Agreement Ratified
The final stand alone CBA was ratified on May 11th when the CMI
mechanics approved the new agreement with an overwhelming acceptance rate. This
action allows us to take the next steps to combine all three contracts into a
single collective agreement for the United Airlines mechanics and related
members. Additionally, the Union will submit a petition for “Single Carrier
Status” to the National Mediation Board now that all three subsidiaries have
ratified their Collective Bargaining Agreements. “Single Carrier Status” will
not affect your current status or CBA. We will continue to provide updates as
they become available.
20% Outsourcing Audit
The sub UA draft outsourcing audit was presented to the company earlier this
year. The draft has been returned to the auditor for correction. We expect a
final report to be completed and released in the near future.
Contract Proposals
Locals are currently accepting proposals for the Joint Collective Bargaining
Agreement. Please see your Steward or Business Agent to receive a proposal form.
The Airline Division has a proposal form available online as a backup which can
be accessed at http://surveygoldplus.com/s/2B85473BE6084779/33.htm.
Proposals must be completed by June 15th so that the Steering
Committee has time to prepare for their meeting July 9th. The System
Steering Committee is scheduled to meet in SFO the week of July 9th,
in IAH the week of July 16th and in DEN the week of July
30th. During these sessions, your System Steering Committee will be
taking members’ proposals and incorporating them into an opening proposal
format.
Seniority Integration Committee Meeting Postponed
The meeting originally scheduled for May 16th has been postponed.
Business Agents were scheduled to meet on the 11th to review a
position paper from independent counsel regarding the Consent Decree that
governs sub UA layoff and recall order and whether and how it may affect the
combined group. The independent counsel was unable to complete the review and
assessment in the short time frame they were given and were unable to be ready
for the meeting on the 11th.
Joint Counseling
Don Ramsey, sub UA Chief Steward Aircraft Maintenance in Denver, reported on
the Chief Steward call that the company was not correctly following the
procedures laid out in the joint counseling letter in Denver. After discussion
with the company, local management is now aware of the procedures and will
follow them.
Life Insurance Concerns
Larry Calhoun, sub UA Chief Steward JFK, reported on the Chief Steward call
that most issues with employee life insurance should be resolved. Larry
encourages each member to verify that the correct amounts of life insurance are
reflected in their profiles.
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.
