Hey Everybody, After I sent the weekly update earlier today I received more information about the joint association. Last week I attached a copy of a letter sent to the I.A.M. from ATD Director Drummond requesting that some of the outstanding issues with the joint council be resolved before preparing for joint negotiations. This morning I received a copy of the I.A.M.'s response to that letter. The I.A.M. has taken the position that the agreement was made by the then International President (Jim Little) of the TWU and it stands as is. A formal response from the T.W.U. will be forthcoming early next week and this issue will be discussed in its entirety at this week's monthly membership meeting. If you have any questions, please call the office and speak to an Officer.
