Stores Negotiations Update – 12/10/10

The TWU Stores Negotiating Committee reconvened at the TWU- ATD office in Hurst, Texas for meetings from December 8, 2010 through December 10, 2010. The 3-Day meeting was spent preparing for next week’s session in Mediation. This will be the first session with American Airlines since the May, 2010 Tentative Agreement was resoundingly rejected.

TWU- ATD Director Garry Drummond and TWU Economist John Donnelly were present at these meetings. Mr. Donnelly prepared an economic analysis of the TWU Stores Proposal.

In anticipation of our scheduled mediated session with American Airlines and mediator Jack Kane, which takes place next week, December 14th through 17th in Dallas, we discussed and finalized our committee’s table strategy.

At the conclusion of this mediated session, the committee will post an update.  We urge our Membership to stay informed.

The Stores Negotiating Committee appreciates your patience and support as we work toward an agreement.
