I’m sitting at the negotiating table in DC taking time away from the reason I am here to write a letter of clarification.
It has been brought to my attention that there have been some postings placed around the base with my name at the bottom of it. These postings are very misleading and in no way accurate as to the state of our current negotiations.
I have been pushing the agenda for local 514 since the first day I was placed on the Negotiations committee. I have been working very hard at building a relationship with all the members of this committee so that we will NOT BE DIVIDED. Leaders make decisions every day that meet with opposition. These decisions are made by taking the best information we have at the time and going forward.
I posted a letter yesterday letting all of you know that Gary Peterson (president of the largest maintenance local) will be at the executive table while the remainder of the negotiating team continues to write language for proposals and review passes back from the company. The executive committee was formed to help expedite the process of joining two historical Union contracts.
The “Old School” post that has been distributed through the base is nothing but twisted information that meets the agenda for the destruction of all that we stand for. Local 514 has more than a Seat at the table. We have Brothers at Arms at the table, fighting for the best contract for all of us.
Union,
Dale Danker
