Grievance Process
We are actively trying to get arbitration dates set with the company to handle cases both from the old contract and the current CBA. We also have termination cases that will require an area board date.
I will give updates as the company complies with us.
I know there is a backlog grievance cases that are long overdue that are set for arbitration, I am hopeful with the Internationals help, we will get some arbitration dates set and move forward with these cases.
Questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.

Mar 13, 2022 – Daylight Saving Time Starts:
When local standard time is about to reach Sunday, March 13, 2022, 2:00:00 am clocks are turned forward 1 hour to Sunday, March 13, 2022, 3:00:00 am local daylight time instead. Sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour later on Mar 13, 2022 than the day before. There will be more light in the evening.
Also called Spring Forward, Summer Time, and Daylight Savings Time.
Our CBA has a provision for this in Article 14 – Hours of Service
-
- Employees who work in a location that changes to Daylight Saving Time, will on the date and shift that Daylight Saving Time goes into effect, work their regularly scheduled number of hours. Employees who work in a location that changes from Daylight Saving Time, will on the date and shift that Standard Time goes into effect, be required to work one (1) hour in addition to their regularly scheduled workday, and will be compensated for the additional hour at the applicable overtime rate. If the Company determines that less than a full crew is required during the last hour of the shift, it may offer employees the opportunity to leave early in occupation/classification seniority order.
- Employees working under the provisions of a shift swap will be allowed to work seventeen (17) hours on the day standard time goes into effect. (Fall back)
So, If you are on the clock Sunday and your shift-works through 2:00am, you will work your regularly scheduled hours.

TSA Statement regarding face mask use on public transportation
Thursday, March 10, 2022
At CDC’s recommendation, TSA will extend the security directive for mask use on public transportation and transportation hubs for one month, through April 18th.
During that time, CDC will work with government agencies to help inform a revised policy framework for when, and under what circumstances, masks should be required in the public transportation corridor. This revised framework will be based on the COVID-19 community levels, risk of new variants, national data, and the latest science. We will communicate any updates publicly if and/or when they change.
