Weekly Update
July 12, 2019
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
On July 10, 2019, the Company filed for a Modification to the Temporary Restraining Order in Court. The TRO required the TWU/IAM Association to take all reasonable steps within their powers to stop the allege slowdown. They continue to say that it goes unabated and that the Unions have not made all reasonable steps to stop it.
The Company moved the Court to impose more stringent and detailed compliance requirements on the Unions and with a right to seek contempt sanctions if the Unions allege noncompliance continues. The Company expressed to the Court the need for a modified permanent injunction would have convinced the Unions to take steps to stop the alleged disruption.
Judge McBryde, signed the Modified Temporary Restraining Order with the additional requirements imposed on the TWU/IAM Association. Union Leadership shall conduct in-person group meetings and allow management to attend those meetings to monitor compliance. Also, hold in-person meetings with Local leadership and all its representatives with allowing management to attend to monitor compliance.
The Modified Temporary Restraining Order, continues to say if any who do not comply with restoring behavior and the operation to normal would be subject to imposed fines or discipline by the Unions.
As required, the TWU/IAM Association shall post on webpage and all dedicated bulletin boards and post a video from senior leadership communicating respect for the requirements of the TRO. Please take the time to read the entire Modified Temporary Restraining Order and comply.
The TWU/IAM Association have five business days following the issuance of the modifications to confirm with the Court of steps taken toward compliance with its requirements.
Even though the Temporary Restraining Order is geared towards more to aircraft maintenance and related. Our Local will comply with the modified TRO and relay it to everyone within 512. If you have any question, please talk to an officer or call the hall.
512 Strong

Safety Minutes
January 08, 2019
TO: ALL LOCAL 512 MEMBERS
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Recently there have been modifications to the Ramp Operations Manual. In Section 08.06.5 Powerstow Extendable Beltloader has one item added, Paragraph (I) States: "The Powerstow is designed to be safely used with one person in the bin of the aircraft."
The language in paragraph (I) is not in any other section with regards to Beltloaders. It is not in Operating Guidelines, and not in offloading or loading operation procedures. It is TWU Local 512's contention that the language specifies its design but does not mandate it.
TWU Local 512 continues stand firm on its safety concerns with regards to this addition to the Ramp Operations Manual. There is no clear procedure or guidelines how it can be safely used when there is no visual contact with an FSC in the belly that is at the end of the Powerstow.
There must always be two FSC’s in the belly to resolve this concern. The main focus should always be to provide every member with the safest work environment. We should never take shortcuts when it comes to safety.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Juan Elvira
President
