Weekly Update
February 15, 2020
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The TWU/IAM Executive and Negotiation Committees were in DFW this week. American and the TWU/IAM Executive team were involved with contract language structuring, and finalization. The Negotiations Committee did a page by page turn with the Company and will continue next week with this task. We are hoping to finalize all the language next week so we can move forward and bring it to our members. Every member will have a complete text of the agreement mailed out to them before the vote. We will also have it up on our TWU Local 512 Website and a link to it on our Facebook page when everything is finalized.
The motion for Contempt Sanction is set for 10:30 A.M. on May 11, 2020, in front of Judge McBryde at the United States Court House in Texas. There have been no other appearances in Court these past few weeks. We are still following the Permanent Injunction as prescribed by the Court.
The Company gave the following timeline for the next new bid. The new bid will start on April 4, 2020. The Crew Chiefs and full-time bids will be posted on February 24, 2020, with part-time bids posting on February 27, 2020. The bidding process will begin on March 2, 2020, with the Crew Chiefs and the following day on March 3, 2020, with the full-time selection. The part-time bidding process begins on March 10 & 11, 2020, and can be subject to change.
In our bid meeting with the Company, we discussed their support staffing plan and Deicing plan. We will handle Qantas on K16 and will operate four days per week with an 18:40 arrival and a 21:50 departure. The Company decided to make deicing shifts all pool/deice to cover the latter part of the deicing season. Please make sure that you are trained and qualified to work Qantas if you are assigned to it.
512 Strong
Sincerely and Fraternally,

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
