IMMEDIATE POSTING
November, 30, 2011
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
November 29, 2011, will go down as the darkest day of our working life. As President James Little says, “This Organization will fight like hell to protect its Members through this difficult time”.
I too am very disappointed and upset with the actions of AMR and will do everything within my power to preserve as much of our current contractual language as possible. This UNION has been working long and hard to secure a fair and equitable contract for both the TWU membership and Company alike. We had finally reached that agreement on October 25, 2011, and now because of the Bankruptcy filing, I’m disappointed to inform you that this Membership will not be given the opportunity to vote on that T/A.
You will be receiving a tremendous amount of information from both the Company and Union and you will be hearing many rumors as well. I ask that you stay informed with the facts; therefore a website has been established for that purpose. You can visit AA.TWU.ORG to receive all information that is factual. I ask that you visit this site frequently to stay updated during this time.
We are in the process of gathering all members email addresses, if you have not already updated your email address with your Crew Chief or Union Rep. I ask that you do this immediately.
You can find all information on the reorganization of AA by clicking on the link (aa.twu.org) below.
Fraternally,
Donny Tyndall
President, Local 502 TWU AFL-CIO
