NMB RULES ON ELIGIBLE VOTERS IN MECHANICS AND RELATED GROUPS
As employees may have been following, the National Mediation Board (NMB) is in the process of deciding whether the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), which represents the former East mechanics, or International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), which represents the former West mechanics, will be the bargaining representative for the combined mechanic and related employees craft or class. As part of that process, both the unions and the company were required to submit information to the NMB regarding which employees should be considered potential eligible voters in the mechanic craft or class.
On June 28, the NMB issued its ruling regarding potential eligible voters. The NMB ruled that stock clerks are not eligible voters because they are a separate craft or class, but furloughed employees do remain eligible voters. Approximately 80 former West employees in Technical Operations who are not currently union-represented, but whose former East counterparts are represented by IAM, also are now eligible voters. All told, the NMB ruled there were approximately 6,000 eligible voters in the mechanic craft or class. The NMB did not decide, however, whether IBT has submitted a sufficient showing of interest to trigger an election.Generally speaking, a union has to submit a showing of interest from approximately 35% of the eligible voters to trigger an election.
Fred Said and now the NMB has included all much to IBT's dismay......its over kiddies.....the fat lady has sung....
The NMB decision gives the parties until July 10 to file appeals, with responses due by July 17. Following the resolution of any appeals, we expect the NMB will make a final determination on whether IBT has a sufficient showing of interest to trigger a representation election. The company will continue to share information with employees as it is received.
