The fourth issue of the TAMC (Teamsters Aviation Mechanics Coalition) newsletter, Nuts and Bolts, is out and ready to read. This special-report version focuses on major current events in the airline industry that are affecting both union and nonunion employees, including:
* A hearing before the House Subcommittee on Transportation Security and Infrastructure protection in which TAMC Chair, Chris Moore, presented testimony;
* Rule changes proposed by the TSA that would tighten security restrictions at foreign repair stations;
* Proposed rule changes by the National Mediation Board (NMB) that would make union elections more fair for workers in the rail and airline industries;
* And an essay by United Airlines mechanic Dave Saucedo about legal loopholes that allow non-certified mechanics to work in the United States. TAMC
