Brothers and Sisters,
The Benefits Committee convened at Teamsters Local 856 on September 20th and 21st to discuss proposals related to Article 16.
During these two-day meetings, several crucial discussions took place regarding potential changes and enhancements to Article 16. The committee worked diligently to ensure that any proposed changes align with the best interests of our members.
The outcomes of these discussions will now be categorized and relayed to the negotiating committee. These proposals will play a pivotal role in future negotiations with the company. When negotiations begin, the committee will reconvene as necessary to assist the negotiating committee with any benefit-related questions or concerns.
The committee members present were Dave Mahood – EWR, Gary Kagel – MCO, Caleb Good – ORD, Mike Brooks – DEN, Mike Clabaugh and Dexter Thomas – IAH, Steve Loone and Steve Crummey – SFO, Roger Kanakaole – HNL, and John Pangelinan – GUM.
In solidarity,
Mike Moats
IBT Benefits Coordinator
