Local 514 Digest for the week of September 4, 2020

Your Records:

Union members have the opportunity to check their personal file once a year and should take a union representatives with them. They make a request in writing to their Supervisor that they want to look at their personnel records for anything that may need to be pulled. 

Once a year we have the chance to do this and we should take it. You could be surprised by what is in there.

Security Guards, The New Company Snitch

This is just a quick reminder to you that the security guards used by American Airlines on their property are always watching you and reporting back to management if they (the guard) thinks you are violating one of the AA rules.  Some of these include smoking in your vehicle past the entry point onto the base. Also they actually took pictures with a phone to catch a guy with his eyes closed. They reported to management they found someone sleeping.
