Airline Division Asks United Airlines to Return Furloughed Members Back To Work
October 2nd, 2020
RE; Airline Relief
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
You may have seen a press release from Speaker Pelosi's office urging airlines not to lay off staff.
The Speaker's statement was that a deal for relief would soon be reached. Soon after the press release was issued, a request was made to undo the furlough for this membership by Director Bourne to the leadership of United. As soon as we hear back from the company, we will let you know.
In Solidarity,
Vinny Graziano

Dear Kate and Zachary,
In light of the statement this afternoon from Speaker Pelosi's office, the Teamsters Airline Division urges United Airlines to return our members to work with all due haste. The longer it takes to unwind this furlough the more problems that will be created. Time is of the essence for the peace of mind of our members.
Regards,
Capt. David Bourne
Director, Teamsters Airline Division
