It seems that since the Ramp will be getting Reciept and Dispatch there is a problem with the contract language, theirs has not been changed to allow them to to R&D where maintenance is located.

[P]Biffe,[BR]Thats due to the wording in D-141/M's contract language. [/P]
[P][BR]Receipt and Dispatch.[BR]Article 2, B and Article 4, N of the Basic Agreement and other articles and[BR]provisions related to receipt and dispatch functions and ancillary duties[BR]associated with receipt and dispatch (except air starts) will be amended to[BR]provide that[FONT color=#ff0033] these functions may be performed by employees not covered[BR]under the Mechanical and Related Personnel Agreement [/FONT]except as follows:[BR]Mechanics will continue to perform the dispatch function of operating[BR]the pushback vehicle in BOS, DCA, LGA, PIT, CLT and PHL. During[BR]deicing events, irregular operations or when mechanics are not available[BR]due to performing non-dispatch mechanic duties on other aircraft, any[BR]other IAM represented employee may perform the dispatch function.[BR]Note: It is not the intent of the parties to utilize this provision in order to[BR]modify hangar staffing procedures or advance planning for deicing.[BR][/P]
