Not one American Airline employee ramper was referenced as being in the room. Sito is board of director at United. Klima is a complete disaster and unintelligent and a delta employee. Tom Reagan is a lav dumper under the MX agreement but has been trying to organize JetBlue and Delta for 20 years and has completely destroyed both campaigns. His negotiation skills are a complete disaster. Last time he was in fleet negotiations in 2008, we had him removed since he hates fleet and teamed up with management to sign a seniority cleansing agreement. The Reagan agreement agreed with management to strip all pay off of anyone laid off for more than 60 days. Such person, even if he was previously topped out, would go back to $9 an hour bottom pay. Like Peterson, he is a management flunkie who wanted to be in management.
Negotiations have been on a halt since the first meeting . Without a card drive.

everything me and weez has is because of Kev.
The previous NW peeps have sacrificed BUT kept the wages in the industry strong due to their yearly iam card push. Its driving our own negotiations with the delta plus.

January 18, 2019Brothers and Sisters,
The TWU/IAM Association Executive Negotiating Committee this week met in full session with American Airlines under the auspices of National Mediation Board Mediators, Jim Mackenzie and Eva Durham, in San Francisco, CA. In addition to the executive committee, the full negotiating committees were also in San Francisco to support and caucus with the executive committee.
All members of the negotiating committees had the opportunity to meet with the mediators and were fully engaged in the process. We had input on all discussions and received real-time activity reports from the negotiating table. The previously agreed to agenda set forth the goals for the week.
The first day of the session was dedicated to presenting the Association’s entire position for all groups on all open economic pay elements to both the mediators and the company.
The second day was dedicated to presenting the Association’s entire position for all groups on all facets of health & welfare (insurance of all types) to the mediators and the company.
The 3rd day was dedicated to the duration of the agreement, field trip guidelines and other open JCBA language items.
Some progress was made, however, significant work remains.
Scheduled negotiating dates are:
- January 29, 30, 31 FLL
- February 6, 7, 8 DCA
- February 12, 13, 14 ATL
- And an additional week in March – specific dates to be determined.
Fraternally,
Your Association Executive Negotiating Committee

Negotiations update from TWU Local 568
A quick update from our trip to SFO to meet with mediators and the International:
As presidents from different locals began to arrive, we were informed that we would not be joining the hearing. Instead, we were told that we would be placed in an adjacent room where we would be receiving updates throughout the day on what had been discussed.
The final briefing was a detailed one, where important financial, medical and scope details were shared. Progress was made on TA’s, and even though the company was nickel and diming on some financial aspects, our union was able to make fair agreements with the company. It is extremely important for us to show the mediators and the company that we are all united in order to obtain a fair contract.
We also raised questions about the current government shutdown and the effect it could potentially have on the National Mediation Board (NBD), being that the board is an agency of the Federal government. We were told that they were federally funded until September 2019, which is very important to us. This means that our hearings will not be affected and negotiations will not stall due to a lack of federal funding. We expect to meet again in FLL on the following dates: January 29, 30, 31.
All presidents are committed to working together to get the best contract for our members – a contract we all deserve and is long overdue. More in depth details will be shared at the General Union Meeting on Monday, January 28, 2019.
