Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Equity Distribution checks have been mailed out, and if you have any issues with your equity, please call Computershare at 1-888-608-2588.

In a recent bulletin, our President John Samuelsen and the TWU will stand behind and will show full support for the APFA. They will enter into contract negotiations and have started a full-court press against the company. In his letter to APFA President Lori Bassani, he said "There is great power in the continuance of our unions working together. It is more important than ever that we who represent workgroups at American Airlines remain steadfastly unified. There are tremendous strength and power in a continued collective approach."

The APFA will be conducting a system-wide Informational Picketing, this Sunday, November 18, 2018; Chicago (ORD) will be one of these stations. This picket will be from 11:00 am to 13:00 pm and will be between terminal three and two, on the upper level, near the (rideshare) Uber pick area. The TWU Local 512 will stand behind and will show full support with APFA brothers and sisters. We ask all our members to come out and join us with this informational picket.

Negotiations Mediation Update, Thursday was a conference call between the Company, Executive Committee, and the NMB Mediators. In this call, all parties were asked to submit their positions on various subjects related past discussions. There will be another conference call in Mid-December with actual real meetings happening in January and February. These meetings will be spread out in SFO, MIA, DCA, and ATL; the negotiation committee will be in all these locations.

The NMB Mediators will control the flow of the mediation process, most likely they will move into different areas to resolve smaller issues first, before tackling the larger ones. The last discussion on the call was an item on the M&R and Stores "Field Trip Procedures" coming to a review and conclusion.

Social Media is an excellent source to provide information quickly, but it can also be used to spread misinformation as well. Negotiations are far from over, and the Company has not presented this committee with a full-text proposal to offer to our members for a vote. You can't vote on something that is not in its completion.

In our weekly meeting with management, we discussed ready room cabinets and the use of personal locks. The Company has agreed to keep this issue status quo and will not cut any locks at this time. We will continue to keep an eye on the scheduling of power-washing in the T3 bagroom. We were informed that a few areas of the bagroom were completed, continued discussion on Alaska drop-off cart and its placement near the L-side terminal. We thought that this issue had been resolved, but Menzies employees continue to move it in a danger zone for our members. This issue will be pushed higher up the ladder and resolved soon.

In Cargo, overall injuries have increased from last year, which is a concern to all. One Item that needs to improve is providing better general information on safety. Premise Medical has advised that Flu shots are available for all members. Discussion on providing cleaning products for the west dock area, and bypass offices workstations. Lastly issues with the lightning detection system at Cargo.

512 Strong
