Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The company reached out to us yesterday to inform us of their plan to fundamentally change the bid area structure of the SFO Maintenance Center. As soon as the plan was revealed to us, we engaged IBT Legal as well as outside counsel. While the legal review continues, Locals 986 and 856 under the leadership of Principal Officers Chris Griswold and Peter Finn respectively wasted no time in engaging politicians from the area, including attending a meeting with Speaker Pelosi's office this afternoon.
The California Locals will continue to pursue all political avenues to protect the work and the Division will support them in any way we can.
As more information becomes available, we will share it with you as soon as possible.
In Solidarity,
Vinny Graziano
Airline Division Representative
