Weekly Update
October 12, 2018
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
This coming Monday, October 15, 2018, starts the yearly benefits enrollment. Please take the time to review your plans and all additional coverage. TWU Local 512 will provide benefits counselors to our members during the enrollment period. Information on American Airlines Benefits and TWU Voluntary Benefits will be available at the Counseling Sessions.
A newly hired employee will be subject to a one (1) calendar month service waiting period before he/she may be covered under the American Airlines Group Life and Health Benefits Plan as described in Article 41. The new hire may not purchase coverage under the Group Life and Health Benefits Plan for the first month of employment. After one (1) month of service, he/she will automatically be placed in the American Airlines Group Life and Health Benefits Plan in the Core medical plan option.
If you are a newly hired employee, who's employed more than one (1) month, than please, review your benefit options for 2019 with our counselors.
Other things to consider, rolling over your choices from 2018 does not apply to FSA contributions. New Domestic Partner Coverage for same and opposite-sex partners and children, but only available option is the core plan. Meaning, that if you have a long time boy/girlfriend who you are living with, and can provide all documentation, you can add them to your benefits, but only to the core plan.
Counseling sessions only take a few minutes with no appointment necessary. Locations will be at Ramp Level Training Room C on October 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26, Cargo Facility Training Room on October 18 and 19.
In this week's Title II Baker meeting, with further discussion, we will be painting all stop blocks in the parking areas. This work was going to be outsourced to vendors, but we were able to retain the job.
In our weekly meeting with management, we discussed the T3 bagroom and the need for more frequent cleaning. They agreed to schedule a regular cleaning, and an exterminator will be called out for a gnat’s problem.
Cargo discussion, management agreed to limit the pulling of CU's to (2) two in the freight warehouse and will have it posted soon.

Safety Minutes
Clarification on bringing oversized bags up the jet-bridge stairs is as follows.
The dumb-waiter is only to be used when items cannot be safely
carried up the jet-bridge stairs. An item can be safely carried when the FSC is able to carry it with one hand while utilizing the handrail with the other hand.
When strollers, wheelchairs or heavy crew bags cannot be carried while holding the handrail, they may be sent up the dumb-waiter. The crew chief will determine the need to contact customer care and have them send the dumb-waiter down for loading. Customer care can be reached on channel 1 of the radio. When the crew chief is unable to reach customer care they are to contact their zone CSM for assistance in the communication process. We hope this clears up any confusion on the issue. As always the safety of our members is first and foremost.
Be safe,
512 Strong
