Reports: President: · IT will be out of town from Friday, May 9th @ 12 p.m. until Sunday evening. EX will be on leave off and on over the next few weeks. · CRU-X – There are 3 areas that may be negotiated locally: 1) Setting of “On” positions (determine what discretionary items can be turned on. 2) Alert parameters. 3) CRU-Ops (Daily sign-in/sign-out.) · Candidates Forum – This is being worked on with a target date for sometime in July. DFW & D10 are also working on this issue, so we are trying to coordinate efforts. · OM meeting – This meeting takes place at Alliance Tower tomorrow. We will be attending from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. · E-Board meeting on Memorial Day – This meeting has been moved to the following day, Tuesday, May 27th at 12:30 p.m. EX advised that he will be on leave during the May 16th meeting. · New Office – The Membership Services Committee should have the new Members’ Area arranged by this weekend. The replacement TV stand has arrived and the remaining furniture should be set up this week. One Member computer is on the Gov’t LAN. There won’t be two computers available and set up on DSL for a bit. The Area Reps’ office will be set up between May 27th and May 29th, when the furniture from FSDO arrives. The Area Reps’ office should be complete by the end of the month. · Credit Card for the Local – EX advised he received information from the Bank that ZTL uses for a Local Credit Card. It doesn’t require a Social Security Number from an individual. More info as we research it. · West Smoking Area Phone – IT advised that he had been informed by AATM Burks last Monday that AF refused to put in the phone that was part of NATCA’s agreement with the Front Office. AF advised that this direction came from their Division level. The Grievance was filed on Friday. · Staffing Analysis and Report – This report was reviewed by the FPB and the Front Office last Friday. The report is finished and a cover letter is being prepared to accompany it over to the Region. · Seniority TieBreaker Lottery – This item has been completed. It was previewed by the Executive Board previously and at the Business meeting last night. A copy will be sent out on the list serves this evening. This change is effective immediately. All Area Reps need to rotate upward any tied group of employees within their Area. These tied individuals will rotate upwards again in January at the beginning of the new Leave year, and then every January thereafter. New BUEs that are tied with someone else and who came onto the Area since the last annual leave bidding cycle will rotate after they go through an annual leave bidding cycle.
Labor Relations:
FRI: absent.
JEN: · JEN is having difficulties with ZHU over TFR’s and routings around.
BYP:
·
Direct EOS is
being discussed again. Apparently, there are new proposed LOAs from ZKC and ZME
at the Facility level. IT advised that he had yet to hear anything from the
Front Office on this subject. EX advised that we need to get Don Lambert and
Bill Shedden involved to work issues related to “pitch” and catch” points, along
with the new national ATCSCC Liaison and if necessary, Jack Keyes.
UKW: · Nothing to report from the Area. · VC made a motion to purchase a Laptop Docking Station for the FacRep Office. EA seconded the motion. After a short discussion, it was put to a vote. The motion passed unanimously.
POS: · OB briefly discussed an issue being worked involving a member versus member complaint. · OB advised of someone leaving Area on Hardship and initiated a discussion concerning Court Leave to be on a Grand Jury.
The issue of OEs found during OEDP audits was discussed. Vince advised that management is performing this correctly.
· OB brought up Special Line Bids and discussed an issue currently being worked in his Area whereby those on SLBs are wanting off mid-year. · Discussion ensued over the requirements of an BUE being put back to work after an OE/OD. Management likes to wait for the OE to be classified before determining what remedial or skill enhancement the employee ‘needs.’ EX explained that any required remedial or skill enhancement training is not based on classification of the OE, but on any specific and noted performance deficiency. Every Area Rep needs to be an expert on the FAA Order 7210.56C, Articles 20 and 80.
Training: · UO discussed Training Review Boards and issues related to how they have been handled. · UO advised of a class requested by EX that is starting on May 16th related to the training program. EX asked if he, IT, and the Area Reps could attend. UO advised that it wouldn’t be a problem. · WCG – many complaints recently over the training that they supply. Many complaints from OJTIs from the floor that have been back to monitor trainees from their Areas.
EX reported that the Local had purchased a desktop business card holder for IT. There is a need for new Business cards for the new Officers and also for the last two Area Reps that came on board (VO and SV), plus the new UIM Area Rep when that election is complete.
Meeting adjourned at 1430L.
