This morning,(June 11, 2012) TWU Negotiators and International Representatives representing Maintenance and Related and Stores members, met in New York City for mediated sessions with the company. Judge James Peck, another bankruptcy judge, was asked to oversee these voluntary negotiations by presiding bankruptcy Judge Sean H. Lane.
Judge Peck ordered the mediated talks to be confidential and not discussed in any manner outside the sessions.
The TWU work groups will meet again Tuesday June 12 for another mediated session. If no agreements or extensions to these negotiations are made, the judge indicated he would rule on the 1113 abrogation of our contracts on June 22.
