TWU Follow Up Questions and Answers
Does the current MOU eliminate the former “me too” language for comparison of wages, benefits and working conditions for non-union hourly and the non-union salaried and management employees of the Company for all “me too” purposes? The “me too” was only with AA. If AA remained stand alone the “me too” would stay in effect through its defined…

More Teamster Baloney
The IBT claims that they do not have any responsibility for all of the work outsourced by UAL to China. They also claim that the handover of 100 aircraft for heavy maintenance in China celebrated by UAL management in the picture we distributed did not happen on their watch. That is baloney.

While the TWU negotiating committee pushed for maintaining the previous language that kept approximately 90% of maintenance spend in-house (includes TAESL as insourced work), the bankruptcy (BK) process made that an impossibility.

Comparing The TWU Bankruptcy M&R Agreement To Other Unions
Since November 2011, we have been forced to respond to AMR’s decision to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This is obviously not the first time that an airline used bankruptcy to abrogate labor agreements. Managements at United, America West, US Airways, Northwest Airlines, Continental, Frontier, and Delta have all taken labor unions to federal…

But, where were the Teamsters when United held the big party to celebrate its 100th aircraft to undergo a heavy maintenance check at the Ameco maintenance repair hanger in Beijing, China? This celebration took place in May 2011, well over a year ago. How…
