Local 514 Digest for the week of March 19, 2021 – Transport Workers Union Local 514

Contractors on Base

You may have noticed that we have contractors working on the cooling towers on the base. This work is being done as per our current agreement.

I was told that the company will be posting the following positions starting this weekend:

- 4 Electricians
- 7 Millwrights
- 1 Plumber
- 1 Tech CC Millwright

If you are interested or know someone who is interested let them know and keep an eye out for these bids.

Mask Usage

We have been informed that wearing your mask is required here at the Tulsa Base. The Company has brought people from headquarters to help monitor this situation. Many members have called to tell us that a member of management has stopped them and scanned their AA ID when they were found not wearing their mask properly. This is equally true that they are also stopping management when they are in violation.

The wearing of a mask is required.

Please be courteous to others as your safety and the safety of our Brothers and Sisters is a primary goal of ours as a labor union and as a community.

Kendal Anderson
Vice President
