Attention all fleet service members, some of the NEW DIRECTION TEAM will be in CLT most of the day on TUE, 27th of may! Rich Delaney, Laura Stone, Mike Crowell and Nick Handlow and more will be available to answer questions and more importantly "LISTEN TO THE MEMBERSHIP"!

Second Pay Transition Date: May 19, 2008

Fleet employees in East Class I cities will move to the longevity step pay rate outlined in Attachment B based on their current pay seniority.
East Fleet employees in East Class II cities will receive 50% of the difference between their current pay rate and the pay rate at the appropriate step of the pay scale (Attachment B).
East Fleet employees who are currently working at any station under the 60-day rule or any station covered under the Interim Transition Agreement will be placed on the pay scale consistent with their US Airways pay seniority on date of furlough.

So can we assume that this date is true? We were informed by our AGC (we are 2nd Class) that the pay transition date for us was May 30. Kinda sad that we can't even find out for sure when these transitions are taking place. Is the contract so grey that even our AGC doesn't know the correct date?

This thing is very gray

Its been a long time since anyone was willing to listen to what we have to say. True leadership will do just that. I look forward to seeing what true leadership looks like.

So does anyone know for sure if 2nd Class has transitioned pay yet? Haven't seen a copy of that letter other than on here.

None of us will know for sure until we get our check on June 6th. We will also see if we get holiday pay for Memorial Day.

Bags,
It's not that the contract is so gray . It's the AGC's inept ability to interpret the contract without first talking to randy.

the phrase " I will have to get back to you" really means let me call Randy and see what he says. You see the AGC'S DIDN"T neg

this Rag . Randy did. they just signed off on it because they were told to.

Nicholas Handlow
Assistant General Chair - four year term
Four-Year Term - A New Direction 08

Nicholas Handlow has been with US Airways for almost twenty-nine years. Twenty-six of those years have been in PIT, a year in PHL, a short term in DCA and currently he is in CLT.

Nick has served the membership as a Shop Steward as well as a member of the Grievance Committee. Nick grew up knowing the value of being in a union for wages, benefits and retirement security. His father retired from UA after twenty years and then from US after eighteen years working for stores. Unfortunately, he sees the effects of corporate greed and knows that no one can fight them on their own.

Explaining the importance of representing, organizing and politics, Nick said, "You must have knowledge of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the tenacity to see that it is followed. Organizing is the lifeblood of unions by adding strength in numbers, creating power in combating corporate America. With politics, we have to ensure we are setting personal agenda aside and vote for labor. Vote for our family's security."

Nick knows that honesty and accountability mixed with experience and desire will move mountains for the membership. He states, "A New Direction 08 is a coalition of honorable men and women from multiple carriers that are ready to listen and work for the membership."


Just one of the many Dedicated folks on the NEW DIRECTION TEAM . Anyone that knows Nick KNOWS what and WHO he stands
for . I know if I had to jump in a foxhole I would find comfort in knowing nick IS in there fighting with me.

since the boys are coming . here is a little back ground on Nick Handlow.

Hit the nail on the head! Last union meeting at 1776 PHL, GS admitted he had no say so in the TA agreement. I give him credit for being truthful, but he exposed the fact that Mike Fairbank's was totally truthfull in his letter to the membership and that after 3 to 4 day's of negotiations ,neither he or anyone had any dealing's with the company! He admitted randy and rich johnson behind closed doors orchestrated the TA by themselves?????

Here is my speculation play on why the US/UA merger announcement has been delayed.


You can't file bankruptcy papers over night.
