Over the past several weeks, the TWU-IAM TechOps Association Negotiating Committee has been actively engaged in contract preparation meetings held in Pittsburgh, Phoenix, Tulsa, and Dallas. During these sessions, committee members conducted thorough reviews and discussions of proposals submitted by each of the bargaining subcommittees.
These meetings provided an opportunity to evaluate member priorities, identify key issues impacting our workgroups, and develop a comprehensive strategy as we prepare to enter negotiations with the Company in April 2027. The extensive preparation completed this year reflects the Committee’s commitment to ensuring that the concerns and priorities of our members are properly represented at the bargaining table. Every discussion has remained focused on one objective: achieving an agreement that recognizes the value, professionalism, and dedication of the men and women of the TechOps Association.
As the holiday season approaches, the Negotiating Committee has wrapped up its current aggressive meeting schedule. The Committee may continue to meet between the holidays and continue in early 2027 to further its preparations for formal negotiations.
Our focus remains firmly on our members and their families. The strength of our Union comes from the support, involvement, and solidarity of the membership, and we sincerely appreciate the confidence you have placed in us throughout this process.
On behalf of the TWU-IAM TechOps Association Negotiating Committee, thank you for your continued support, engagement, and commitment to our collective success.
We wish you and your families a safe and joyful holiday season, and a healthy, prosperous New Year.
Together, we look forward to entering 2027 united and prepared for the work ahead.
In Solidarity,
The TWU – IAM Techops Association Negotiations Committee
