United Mechanics/IBT Cabin Crew Subcommittee

United wanted to change the work schedule of the some 150 mechanics doing interior refurbishing work on United's fleet by shifting to a five-day work week. The change would have introduced quality of life issues for the workers. The Subcommittee was able to reach accommodations with management to work out any scheduling problems. Also a monitoring system was developed to assure productivity was maintained. Representing the mechanics were Clacy Griswold, Paul Stripling, Rich Petrovsky, and Bob Fisher (IAD), Greg Sullivan (SFO), George Graham (ORD), Pete Angelos (DEN), Ramon Gonzalas (DEN), Alanzo Quijada (LAX), and Roger Apana (HNL). The company negotiating team was led by Tim Canavan, V.P. Line Maintenance.
