Weekly Update

June 21, 2019

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

In a pre-trial conference this week, both parties agreed to the Temporary Restraining Order to remain in effect until the Court rules on the merits of the action. Trial begins on July 01 with Judge Bryde in Federal Court in Texas. The Court also ordered that both parties jointly file all documents listing witnesses and exhibits that will be used for the trial.

We must continue to comply with the Temporary Restraining Order, and no member should engage in any concerted refusal to perform routine operations. Also, members must not refuse to accept overtime as they would in the normal course or perform any slow down with regards to their job duties. Compliance with the Temporary Restraining Order is absolutely required to all.

This week, we released a letter stating the requirements of the order with its regards to Local 512. We were required to list every area that we covered and to take pictures of these postings to show the Court of compliance. Please take the time to read the Court's document on the temporary restraining order and its reference to our members.

In our weekly meeting with management, issues discussed are as follows; T-5 mobile Crew Chiefs moving vendors equipment. Work is beyond our scope of work and should stop. The CSM should make a call to the Vendor and for them to move as necessary to meet all requirements for arrival or departure of aircraft.

The second item, the Company informed us that they will now require all crews working departures to comply with a forty-five-minute minimum window for the loading of all aircraft. We believe that everyone should follow the AYR with including being locked up and ready to push at five minutes before departure. Any deviation should be the responsibility of the tower and management.

Other items, discussed with no immediate resolution, the lack of manpower at T5 during system failures, T3 Bagroom lunches stolen from the refrigerator in the lunch room, and additional help for inbound Bagroom. The Company's issue with Rovr acknowledgment and process, freight/mail accommodations and informed us of Crew Chief meetings they are planning.
