The TWU Fleet and Ground Service Negotiating Committee reconvened with American Airlines management in Washington, D.C. the week of May 24th through May 28th.
During this week-long session, proposals were passed by both sides and early this morning, May 28, 2010, a Tentative Agreement was reached.
Although the committee cannot recommend the T/A, we believe the membership should have the final say. The decision to bring the T/A was made based on the NMB’s premise that there would not be any other meetings scheduled until the end of year or possibly later.
Your Negotiating Committee believes the members should use their vote to decide. The committee also took into serious consideration that the NMB would not look favorably upon the negotiating committee not allowing the membership to vote on the Companies final offer.
Please refer to the website for specific information on the details of this T/A. During the coming weeks your committee will be structuring the final language to prepare a full text to send out to the members before voting. You can view the T/A summary here.
We thank all of our Members for your continued support.
