Chairman of Maintenance Report, October 3, 2017

The TWU NATIONAL CONVENTION was held last week in Las Vegas.

The TWU 514 Delegates supported the John Samuelsen Slate, that overwhelming won the Election.

The Monday meeting was 9:00 am – 3:00 pm and Tuesday thru Thursday was  in session 9:00am – 5:00pm.

There were various speakers  including Sito Pantoja who briefly spoke on the negotiations with American Airlines.

John Samuelsen spoke on the Airline Contract Talks which includes Southwest, Allegiant Air and American Airline’s. Mr Samuelsen said we are in for a nasty fight and called on the 140,000 TWU MEMBER’S to collectively support our negotiations.

There are several political battles ahead of labor including Right to Work or (JANUS) and the Re-negotiation of NAFTA.

President Dale Danker is back at the negotiating table this week and the week of October 16.  I ask that we stay UNITED and support Dale in the fight for our future.

Thanks,

Pat Kinnamon

TWU 514 Chairman of Maintenance
