The TWU Maintenance and Related Negotiating committee reconvened in Hurst, Texas September 14 – September 15, 2010. Since the committee last met recent elections at Local 514 resulted in changes to the makeup of the committee. In Local 514 (TUL), Sam Cirri (President), John Hewitt (Title I) and John Carlisle (Title II) were voted in as M&R Committee members. Additionally, Local 564 Title II representative Ed Domenech was also welcomed.

The full M&R committee met with TWU International President Jim Little, along with TWU ATD Director Garry Drummond to reassess our position since the overwhelming rejection of the tentative agreement to discuss internally where we go from here.

The committee would like to thank Gordon Clark and Ron Harp for their contributions to the committee. Due to the MCI base closing this will be their last time with the committee, we wish them well in the future endeavors.

The committee will reconvene the week of October 11-15th to continue their strategic planning sessions.

The M&R Negotiating Committee recognizes these are difficult times and appreciates your patience and support as we work toward an agreement
