Weekly Update
January 18, 2019
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The Executive Negotiations Committee met this week in San Francisco with Company and the National Mediation Board Mediators. First thing on the table was a full review of the financial positions of both groups and clarification on certain items. The following day, healthcare positions reviewed and discussed. All positions were laid out from the Company and the Associations to the Mediators, they will review it and continue with the further discussion.
In the last session for this week, all day discussion on the duration of an agreement, field trip guidelines (Maintenance and Related) and Scope and a touch of insurance.
Our next Mediation session will be in Fort Lauderdale, on January 29, 30, and 31. In these sessions, discussion with regards to scope with all items. There will be further discussion that pertains to field trips for the fleet. The mediators did introduce themselves to the negotiations team, and there was some discussion about expectations.
The changing of the bus route did not go as smoothly as the company had hoped. Their travel times did fluctuate throughout each day, and they could not get back to schedule once those times took longer to and from the terminals. The addition of buses was expressed to the company to make the plan more viable and consistent.
We had observers on the first day, along with the CWA and were not happy with its implementation. Suggestions made of having originating buses in the early mornings at bus stop 1 and 3, with another morning schedule route at lot 4 and 5 for K19 to alleviate overcrowding. Then reversing and having originating buses for the end of the night. The Company needs to increase its budget for its bus service to solve all these problems.
All meetings with management were canceled this week and will resume next week. Work on the reinduction belt has commenced, and anyone has any safety concerns, please contact the hall or our Safety Coordinator Mitch Bitto regarding this work.

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
