Local 514 Digest for the Week of February 4th, 2022

President Danker on meeting in Dallas with Mike Mayes.

Monday, January 31st 2022

All,

I attended a meeting in Dallas to discuss internal structural issues within the Air Division of the TWU. 

Mike Mayes chaired the meeting with Rollie Reaves, Gary Schaible, Gary Peterson and myself. We discussed the continued erosion of Local autonomy from decisions that were recently made concerning who will handle grievances through the GRB process as well as arbitration.

Quill Scholarship – 2022

The union has been honoring our founder with these scholarships since 1969. Quill Scholarship awards have benefited hundreds of TWU families. Children of our members in transit, railroad and air transportation, utilities, public employment, space installations, and allied industries are among those who began their college educations with the help of the TWU’s signature scholarship.

The 2022 Michael J. Quill Scholarship Fund offers fifteen (15) college-bound dependents of TWU members a scholarship worth $4,800.00. This scholarship will be paid out, each year in the amount of $1,200.00 to winners who continue to be eligible over their four (4) year course.
