Iam 141m Airbus Update

[to much time to quit]

August 28, 2003

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

Working through the US Airways Labor Coalition, your Union leadership has been in contact with the AFL-CIO affiliated Unions representing US Airways’ Pilots, the Air Line Pilots Association, Dispatchers, and the Transport Workers Union regarding the company’s threat to farm-out heavy maintenance checks on Airbus aircraft.

Both the Dispatchers and Pilots have agreed to notify the IAM if a US Airways’ Airbus aircraft is scheduled to fly to any maintenance center not staffed by IAM-represented US Airways’ employees.

This early notification will allow the Machinists Union to prepare an appropriate response to what would be considered a major dispute under the Railway Labor Act.

Your continued support and solidarity is essential as we prepare to take whatever measures are necessary to protect any and all work that should be performed by IAM-represented employees at US Airways.

We will keep you advised of any developments as they occur.

Sincerely and fraternally,

Scotty Ford
President/General Chairman
District 141-M

Lavman, Thanks for making the call out west.

Getting AMFA in at this crucial time would indeed be a rock & roll mix breaking our collective backs while U management looks on with glee! Called divide and conquer Mr. Glass style. Flyonthewall came right out on these boards and said as much, FLY being the deceiver called labor friendly. Wolf in sheeps clothing, devil with the blue dress on.
