Attending:
Quorum? Yes Guests: S. Conley (SJ) The Chair, IT, called the meeting to order at 1256L. Minutes:
Minutes from April 16, 2002:
Pending.
Reports: Vice President: · NSW Spring Seminar – Travel day tomorrow, starts Tuesday. · Center FacRep Meeting – Held in ATL, very informative. Briefing from John Carr. The future is not rosy. Some issues addressed: § URET – FAA is briefing other center FacReps that ZFW does not want to do URET and they are trying to move some facilities forward. The assertion is, of course, false. It appears clear that the Agency is attempting retribution for our Local’s insistence that local management abide by the agreements they signed as well as basic LMR procedures. Also notable is that some of these facilities have been offered BFOT – and this is what has stopped progress at ZFW. § CRU-X – The Agency still hasn’t managed to get it operational in the test facilities. § RVSM – One plan is to “throw the switch” for the entire country as well as Canada and Mexico all at the same time. Project is far behind schedule.
Other Reports: · Cafeteria Committee – New TV blew up when lines shorted. Mike Demboski handling.
Labor Relations:
Alternate FacRep: · Holiday Pay – This is at the national level now. · Blue & Pink Rooms – Funding is here. · Dynamic Resectorization – VC meeting on Tuesday with Debbie Walker about a problem with resectorizing on the mids. We are still in a “test” mode. VC needs specifics on any problems or complaints. The test ends 30 JUN. Facility Placement Board: · Next Meeting – Will be Friday, 18 APR. Management will provide data from GAO survey on retirements. · Inbounds – Four due to report on 21 APR. If two go to CQY and one to JEN, those specialties will reach their MSNs. The fourth slot will be open, with the possible exception of UIM whose numbers are highest.
FRI: · OWCP – Jimmy Arnold will be out for a while. · Transfer – Jason Judy has been selected for ZLC. · Code 9 – If there is a “stop” in the award program, do we continue tracking “opportunities” over the break, or start fresh each time? Agreed by consensus to start fresh. PP will advise the absent Reps. This is a facility decision and IT will advise management. The current agreement is silent on this issue.
JEN: · Code 9 Night Differential – Is it paid when a BUE takes Code 9? Not here. It appears that other regions my pay it. A29S1 is violated. · A45/A17 – Carri Lewis can log her time upstairs as A17 to show work done, but needs to note that her duties are under A45 and she is not recallable. · BWD MOA/ATCAAs – The issue of aircraft requesting less than the maximum altitudes is still a problem.
POS: · OM – Stan Massett will be gone o/a 15 APR 03.
TMU: · Meeting – A joint meeting involving TMU & the cornerpost specialties will be held next Saturday, 12 APR 03.
Unfinished Business: · Building Refurb – Discussed the pending upgrades to the facility’s rest room facilities. · New NATCA Office – TV stand was damaged in transit; Keith Bell will order a replacement. Discussed of layout options. The X-Box unit has been purchased.
New Business: · Laptop – For convenience and mobility purposes, the President and Vice President will use the laptops in their office in lieu of desktop machines. Moved (VC) and seconded to allot up to $1500 to purchase an additional laptop for the Local. Moved (MB) and seconded to amend “$1500” to “$2000.” Amendment passed. Motion as amended passed. · Badge Pulls – PP suggested badge pulls for each guard. Approved by unanimous consent.
