Polo Shirts
EX briefed the E-board on
ZFW NATCA polo shirt options, pricing and order worksheet. Area reps are
responsible for their Area’s orders – deadline for orders is 8/15/03. The local
will subsidize $15 towards first shirt ordered by a member. E-board decided to
go with the 3 “patriot” style shirts – EX will check on logo issues (can we make
minor changes to color). Flyers will go out ASAP.
·
Holiday

Holiday Party, including pros/cons of different options (venues, drinks, items
for Party Committee to consider, etc.)
-
PP moved to hold party at C R Smith, SR seconded – motion
passed unanimously.
-
UO moved to have beer/wine available, KO seconded – PP motion to amend to
no alcohol. Motion for beer/wine passed.
-
JF moved for $8,000 expense budget for holiday party – PP seconded.
Motion passed unanimously.
Other issues surrounding
Holiday Party: Mike Sizer for music, no dancing, no tip jar at bar (NATCA to
take care of this), 200 chairs needed, and negotiation to allow for those at
work to walk across during lunch break for meal.
·
Holiday
Gift for security guards
AL asked if the Local could
help recognize security guards during the holidays with gift certificate or cash
during holiday season. E-board showed support to provide 1/3rd of
$50 for each of the 17 guards & 8 janitors. AL will report back to E-board
after he takes this issue to other groups at ZFW (he’ll indicate NATCA’s
support).
During interviews at
security evaluation many guards felt excluded from inside main building.
Discussion took place re: guard “walk-throughs” in control room to gain
familiarity. Group thought 1 to 2 times/month would be enough – would not cause
any problems w/workforce.
