Your committee presented the Company proposals on the following Sections:
Section 5 Travel Expenses – After several exchanges, we have narrowed some of the issues related to this section and will continue to discuss the open issues with the Company in upcoming negotiations.

Section 11 Leaves of Absences – This section of the contract contains very important language and it is one of the largest sections of the contract.

CRJ Fence Agreement
Many questions have arisen in regards to the CRJ Fence Agreement which was signed and negotiated during the early stages of the merger. In short, the CRJ Fence Agreement outlines the fact that the two work groups would remain separate until a JCBA is reached, which the equivalent is also outlined under Section 1.F., Successorship and Mergers. If you would like to read the Fence Agreement in its entirety, go to the CRJ CBA/Payroll tab on the IAM app. If you haven’t downloaded the IAM app you can do so by searching IAMAW on your App or Google Play store.
