Reports:
Vice President:
·
Grievances –
Third levels were last week. IT briefed us on one.
Secretary:
·
Fax Machines –
As a stand alone unit, the HP fax cannot use its software cover pages, nor can
it be used to scan documents (e.g. flyers for posting on our website) or for OCR
work. Hugh can correct this. Our Members often receive faxes here. Would they
also like to be able to scan documents and photographs and make copies in the
Members’ Area? VC was repping a possible OE and could not attend but IT advised
that VC intended to use the remaining allocated funds to purchase a fax and a
printer for the Members’ Area. Perhaps we can move the HP unit to that area and
have a simple b/w fax in the office. If the HP unit is connected to a computer
in the Members’ Area, documents can be scanned there and transferred to the
other machines.
·
Elections
Committee – Tony Rios, Chair of the Elections Committee is requesting access to
the office LAN for his laptop. Approved by consensus.
·
Paging System
– It is only
occasionally audible in the Members' Area, and totally inaudible in the Reps'
Office. All Board Members need to remind the appropriate management personnel
that x7368 is the first place to check for us.
·
Supplies – IL
got an update on our office supply needs.
Treasurer (SR for KO):
·
Voucher 1 –
One of our attendees at the most recent Communicating for Safety (CFS) has a
voucher for approximately $325 but has lost the receipts. Under the advice of
EX, the Member will compose a letter to the Board about this issue.
·
Voucher 2 –
Another attendee at the CFS drove instead of flying. The airfare would have
been cheaper so the Member will be reimbursed IAW the Local’s policy.
Other Reports:
·
Tiger Team –
They were here last month, SR was our Rep. One issue in the report was that ASW
was making decisions for ZFW management. Some other issues:
o
Tracker
Positions – There has been very little training for this position.
o
Training
Failures – Persons who’ve failed the training program continue to work sectors
for which they hold certifications; in some cases up to six months. The team
was reported to be amazed at this fact. Also, keeping these people on skews the
staffing numbers. The delay in finding them a new facility, however, lies at
ASW.
Labor Relations:
Alternate FacRep:
·
TMU & 71M – IT
will work with Bob Stevens to get a meeting on this and ensure that TMU
management knows that they are covered under this ZFW Order.
·
BCC21 – Looks
like we’re getting out BFOT now. ASW says that management advised them that ZFW
did not want BFOT. We start training on 21 JUL 03. IT is working on an MOU for
the training. SR advised we need the next six-week schedules done before 27 JUN
so they can schedule the BFOT for training. SR will send this requirement to
the Board list serve.
FRI:
·
Scheduler –
Youngblood an office with a 486-computer for use by FRI’s NATCA Scheduler.
Other NATCA Schedulers may want to use this office. PP will get more
information.
JEN:
·
Leave – SV
will be on leave next week.
POS:
·
STMIC –
Saturday night weather was impacting westbound departures and additional spacing
was requested. The STMIC discussed it with the supe for a while. FIFTEEN
minutes later, D10 got the request. IT will discuss this with Bob Stevens.
Unfinished Business:
·
Conference
Table – Discussed options. PP will “tape out” different size tables. Moved
(PP) to allocate up to $3,000.00 to acquire work area tables and chairs for the
Area Reps’ office. Died for lack of a second.
New Business:
·
Constitution –
Some discussion about possibly changing the month that officers/reps change
office.
·
EBoard
Meetings – Effective 26 JUN, the Board will meet at 1130L and all subsequent
Board meetings that fall on Thursdays will be at 1130L. All Board meetings
falling on Wednesdays will probably need to be moved to a Tuesday or Thursday.
IL will notify the Membership via the list serves.
Meeting adjourned at 1430L.
