Weekly Update
November 29, 2019
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and continue to enjoy your weekend. There is not much of a weekly update due to the holiday. Please continue to work as you would normally do because we continue to follow the Court order Permanent Injunction. The TWU/IAM has till December 9, 2019, to submit their brief to respond to the Company's motion for sanctions.
The TWU/IAM Association executive committee asked the Company to meet this week with or without the National Mediation Board, they declined.
The NMB has announced scheduled mediation dates for the first two weeks of December. They will meet on December 4th and 6th and December 9 through 12th the following week. There have been several rumors that the Company has made the best and final offer to the Negotiations Executive Committee, which is untrue.
The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) has announced an organizing effort for representation on the TWU/IAM Association Mechanics. They have been trying to raid the mechanics since the 1960s with little success.
*Correction to the Organizing effort, it is coming from a group of Tulsa AA mechanics and not from AMFA Union.*
512 strong
Sincerely and Fraternally,

Safety Minutes
January 08, 2019
TO: ALL LOCAL 512 MEMBERS
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Recently there have been modifications to the Ramp Operations Manual. In Section 08.06.5 Powerstow Extendable Beltloader has one item added, Paragraph (I) States: "The Powerstow is designed to be safely used with one person in the bin of the aircraft."
The language in paragraph (I) is not in any other section with regards to Beltloaders. It is not in Operating Guidelines, and not in offloading or loading operation procedures. It is TWU Local 512's contention that the language specifies its design but does not mandate it.
TWU Local 512 continues stand firm on its safety concerns with regards to this addition to the Ramp Operations Manual. There is no clear procedure or guidelines how it can be safely used when there is no visual contact with an FSC in the belly that is at the end of the Powerstow.
There must always be two FSC’s in the belly to resolve this concern. The main focus should always be to provide every member with the safest work environment. We should never take shortcuts when it comes to safety.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Juan Elvira
President
