Today, many of the TWU negotiators broke into sub groups to work on their specific issues. There were multiple meetings that went back and forth with the company regarding costing out calculations, as well as discussing specific concessionary items.
Our TWU Benefits sub-committee continued to question the company about its active healthcare proposal. The company indicated that it would have more information for the sub-committee early next week.
Each title group continues to work on its contractually specific issues. The entire TWU Negotiating Team works together on global, across the board, issues. These issues include active health, retiree health, and retirement.
On Monday we expect a response from the company regarding the binding arbitration request made by the three unions last week. We will update you as soon as the company responds to the NMB.
