Fellow Pilots,
The Negotiating Committee, E-Board, and the International Union have all worked very hard this past two years to obtain a contract the membership could be proud of. As you know, this Union has never advocated or condoned any type of work slowdown or any other action in violation of the Railway Labor Act.
Due to a recent increase in injuries and difficulty in finding Pilots to perform workovers, the Company is now alleging that the Union is somehow influencing these events. It remains the position of the International and this Local Union that all Pilots shall continue to conduct themselves professionally and legally in every respect. We do not and have not supported any type of action in contradiction of that position. Workovers are voluntary under the contract. Therefore, an individual pilot is within his or her rights to refuse a workover. However, we stress that individual pilots should continue to accept or decline offered workovers just as they would in the normal course, without taking into consideration the current state of negotiations or related matters.
Again, we are speaking here of illegal job actions. Such actions can take the form of work slow downs, sick-outs, etc. The point is, job actions prior to the end of the 30-day cooling off period – are illegal.
As the President of the Local, I wish to make the Union’s official position on such behavior absolutely and unequivocally clear. The Union is instructing you not to engage in any such behavior.
Neither the Local’s Negotiating Team, the Executive Board, nor the International; in other words, no one associated with the leadership of our Union, is advocating any such behavior. In fact, once again, we wish to emphasize: we are instructing you not to do so.
By engaging in illegal job actions, you jeopardize not only your job, but everything we worked so hard to achieve.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
In Solidarity,
Kenneth Bruner /s/
President, Local 107
