The TWU-IAM Association today announced that Neutral Joshua Javits issued his final integrated seniority lists for the Mechanic and Related, Fleet Service and Stores work groups at American Airlines.
The final lists are the completion of an investigation Neutral Javits conducted regarding protests of the initial seniority lists, issued on December 27, 2016. The final integrated seniority lists show all seniority dates amended as a result of that protest process.
Neutral Javits considered over 1,600 protests from approximately 1,700 employees. Each protester will receive a letter from Neutral Javits explaining the determination of his or her protest.
These seniority lists will become effective upon ratification of the Joint Collective Bargaining Agreements.

This week marks the fifteenth year that has passed since the attacks of September 11 changed the course of American history forever.
Those of us that call New York City home, and those of us that have built our livelihoods in the airline industry, are all personally bound to this date in a way that many others cannot fully understand. Our way of life was devastated, and we needed years to overcome the challenges that we faced together.
On September 11th 2001, we faced a cruel test. Solidarity kept us together. Solidarity made us strong again, and solidarity will move us into the future together.
On this anniversary of the September 11 attacks, please take a moment to remember the good friends, the coworkers, and the thousands of other people that were denied the chance to complete their lives as intended.
In a representation election overseen by the National Mediation Board (NMB), approximately 250 SM Cargo agents voted overwhelmingly, to be represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM).
The victorious cargo agents, who work at IAH, began their quest for IAM representation this spring in a campaign that was spearheaded by a true unionist and Local Lodge 811 member, Scott McClung who worked hand in hand with soon to be District Lodge 141 Vice President East, Victor Hernandez. With Brother Scott and Victor’s guidance these cargo agents attained the requisite “showing of interest” shortly thereafter. The NMB announced the results of the representation election today.
“I congratulate and welcome the cargo agents at SM Cargo for seeking and earning the dignity, respect and fairness they deserve.” Said IAM District 141 President Mike Klemm. “Along with thanking Scott McClung and Victor Hernandez for their efforts, I’d also like to thank the following IAM members for their incredible hard work for without, this campaign would not have been successful, District 141 Assistant General Chairman Jorge Bonilla, DL communicator Eric Price, DL Special Representative Robert Jesel, Carlos Ayala and Maria Rodriquez. Furthermore I’d like to thank General Vice President Sito Pantoja who supported the campaign from day one and provided us with guidance through Grand Lodge Representative Richie Johnsen whose leadership was instrumental.”
