Published 19 Jul, 2013Participants:
On May 28, 2013, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters-Airline Division (IBT) filed an application and authorization cards alleging a representation dispute involving the Mechanics and Related Employees of American Airlines (Carrier). The employees in question are currently represented by the Transport Workers Union (TWU). Also on May 28, 2013, the Carrier filed a List of Potential Eligible Voters (List) and signature samples of the potential eligible voters.
After examining the authorization cards submitted by the IBT, the undersigned directed that IBT and TWU file challenges to the List or objections with regard to any other matters.
On July 18, 2013, the TWU and IBT jointly requested an extension of time to file their challenges and objections. The request is granted and any challenges and objections must be filed with the Board by 4 p.m. ET on July 23, 2013. Responses to challenges or objections, if any, must be filed by 4 p.m., ET, on August 6, 2013. IBT and TWU are reminded that they must incorporate by reference any previously-filed challenges, objections, and supporting data. Failure to incorporate such allegations by reference will result in the Investigators finding those issues are no longer part of the investigation.
Sincerely,
