Negotiations Update

On December 14th and 15th your Union negotiating team assembled once again in San Francisco. However, instead of meeting directly with the Company, the team convened at Teamsters Local 856's Chetcuti Hall and focused on preparation for the weekly bargaining sessions that will begin January 6th in Chicago.

This preparation process started with an extensive article-by-article review of proposals and then moved to aligning bargaining team sub-committees that will meet with Company representatives on various topics.

Throughout the month of January you can continue to get Union negotiation updates by visiting: www.IBTUALNegotiations.com

The Teamsters Airline Division would like to take this opportunity to thank your rank and file negotiating team for their commitment and dedication to securing a strong contract.

The Negotiating Team wishes you and your families a happy holiday season.
