From the desk of John Hennelly:

REPORT FOR DECEMBER 16, 2007

Ampco valet Parking-There have been 2 terminations due to accidents.  One has been reversed with the member being offered reinstatement.  The second is in the grievance process.

Denver Newspaper Agency-The proposed contract was ratified by a 3:1 margin (34-12).  Thanks to all who took the time to participate in the process.  Retroactive pay should have been received b all members now.

Frontier Airlines maintenance-There have been 6 grievances filed in the last 30 days, 3 of which have been settled in our members’ favor, 2 are scheduled for a System Board of Adjustment, and 1 was withdrawn.

Airserv Corp.-The City of Denver and United Airlines permanently relocated 2 podium positions on Level 5 to ease traffic congestion and eliminate a safety issue.  This moving of positions has resulted in the Union requesting an emergency re-bid in accordance with Article 20 Section 3a to allow our members every opportunity to ensure they are positioned according to seniority.

I am in the process of conduction Steward Elections at Frontier Airlines, Denver newspaper Agency, and Ampco Transportation AMOD’s.  I urge all members to think carefully who they would like to see in these positions and participate in the process.
