514 members,
TWU Local 514 President
Dale Danker
I was on a conference call with International representatives Gary Peterson (Local 591 President), Andre Sutton (Local 502 President), and Tony McCoy (Local 513 – International Rep) to discuss this week’s negotiations with American Airlines in DC. Gary Peterson stated they discussed in more detail M&R scope for the base, line and title 2. They are still trying to understand how the back-shops will be counted. Title 2 talks centered around what we believe our work is on the base. The company stated that station protection meant you would stay at your current station until you retire if that was your desire.
That’s about all that we were told after three days of meetings.
Gary said he did make it clear to the others on the executive committee that the TWU negotiating team was tired of them putting our names on documents that we did not write and were not even at the negotiations they put out updates about.
I have not been told of any future meeting dates.
Have a safe holiday this 4th of July.
No end in sight.
Dale
