Dyncorp/IAMAW CBA Negotiations Letter #2

Brothers and Sisters: Your elected contract negotiating team, Richard Phillips, Johnnie Mims, Chris Young, Brian Wooley District Lodge 37 Rep Byron Williams and your chief negotiator, Grand Lodge Representatives Brother Tony Blevins, met again today for negotiations with the company. The Union and Company spent the day discussing and addressing your main topic of Insurance, this company understands very clearly from your committee, the parties must correct this disparity. The parties have ended the day and moved in a positive direction, but we are still far apart. Furthermore, your negotiating team received a full comprehensive economic proposal from the company and we were very disappointed with this, but can state, there are no take-back/reductions in pay or premiums from the company. We are asking for our members support throughout these negotiations and also encourage you to make contact with your committee members and LL 1786 officers with any issues or questions regarding negotiations. Please remember, if we have not addressed the issues here, they are rumors. Please check your District Lodge No. 37 web site and link to your Local Lodge 1786 link, for future updates. Additionally, further updates will be forthcoming as negotiations move forward. VERY IMPORTANT: The CBA reading and following Ratification vote will be held on August 25th, 2012, at the Gilruth Center, Alamo Ballroom. We have the venue from 0900 to 1200hrs, coffee and water will be available onsite. We look forward to seeing each and every one of our members under this Collective Bargaining Agreement there.
