Machinists to Vote Northwest’s Proposal
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
District 143 and Northwest Airlines have been working late into the night all week to resolve our contract negotiations, and this evening we reached an understanding with the Company whereby we will present Northwest’s contract settlement proposal to the membership for your consideration.
Your Negotiating Committee was able to convince Northwest to move off of some of their initial proposals, and many of your Committee’s ideas are contained in the Company’s settlement proposal.
The understanding between the IAM and Northwest to vote the Company’s proposal is subject to finalization of some details and a review of the proposal’s language.
Complete details of Northwest’s proposal and a voting schedule will be available in the next few days. IAM members will have ample time to review the terms and have questions answered before casting their votes.
The Section 1113© trial to reject labor contracts for IAM members, Flight Attendants and Pilots will begin January 17, 2006. The IAM and Northwest will ask the judge to postpone the IAM’s portion of the trial until the ratification results are known.
Your entire Negotiating Committee thanks you for your continued support and solidarity.
In solidarity,
As always, I'm sure the Devil is in the details....I'm not holding my breath.
