Negotiating Committee meets in Miami
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The committee met at Local 769 in Miami last week to continue the review of language to be proposed when we meet with the company in December.
We started on Tuesday morning reviewing Article 7 Hours of Service. We completed the review of 7 and voted on the suggested changes. We looked at Article 3 again and made suggested changes. In addition, we determined that any changes may impact Article 2 Definitions. Usually, Article 2 Definitions remain open until the end of bargaining. Changing language during this process may require a modified or new definition to be added to the Article 2.
Wednesday, we spent the whole day reviewing, and we finished our review of Article 10 Leaves of Absence, Article 11 Sick Leave, Article 12 Field Trips, and Article 13 Training. These Articles are now ready to pass to the company when we meet in December.
On Thursday we discussed Article 14 Safety and Health and made changes the members requested. This Article will be reviewed by AD Rep Chris Moore before it is finalized, and we will then vote on any changes suggested at the next meeting.
We were informed that the company and the economists and actuaries were continuing to meet about the reset, and had a meeting scheduled on Friday November 11th. As soon as the reset number is finalized it will be reported out.
Our next meeting is scheduled for the week of December 12th with the company and will be the official start of face-to-face negotiations with United.
Fraternally,
Your Negotiating Committee
