Brothers and Sisters,
The Executive Negotiating Committee met face to face with American Airlines this week in Dallas. All groups concentrated on internal discussions and deliberations in concert with the Association legal team on Scope language that will protect our work and jobs in the new contract. These discussions are in preparation for a counter proposal for all Association classifications to the company’s woefully inadequate proposal on that important article in all our JCBA’s.
Discussions continued on GSE/Facilities filling of vacancies; M&R and MLS ASAP MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) including the Just Culture philosophy, MLS seniority and MLS/M&R overtime opportunity distribution procedures.
Complete Tentative Agreements were reached on:
Union Security and Dues Check Off- All Groups
Seniority- MCT
Seniority- MTS
The future negotiating calendar is as follows:
January 8- DCA
January 22- DCA
February 12- DCA
February 19- DCA
Fraternally,
