Dear Sisters and Brothers:
On Tuesday, July 9, 2024, the IAM District 142 negotiating team met with Allied Aviation EWR leadership and discussed the concerns from the membership that we heard during our station visit last week. We had scheduled a meeting for Wednesday, July 10, but the company asked for additional time to review the concerns we raised, as their General Manager was on vacation.
Yesterday, Thursday, July 11, the principal negotiators met with the company’s negotiating team and National Mediation Board (NMB) Mediator Mark Littleton for a status update and to discuss the concerns raised in Tuesday’s meeting and the results of the membership survey conducted by District 142.
While we have dates to meet with the company and our mediator at the National Mediation Board in August, we are waiting for the company’s response to this week’s meetings, and we will work to schedule additional meetings before August.
We will continue to keep the membership updated throughout this process. Thank you for your continued support and solidarity.
Sincerely and fraternally,
John M. Coveny, Jr.
President/Directing General Chair
IAM District 142
Ken Coley
General Chair
