Minutes of the 12/6/03 & 12/16/03 Eboard Meetings were unanimously approved & accepted

Reports:

President:

· DSL Update: Jim Banks (ZFW-510) said our DSL approval by at the Divisional Level is “worked out” and will coordinate w/AF for hook-up.

· NSW Winter Seminar (Feb 23-27): SR motioned for ZFW Local to fund 10 Members to attend; JF seconded motion. The motion unanimously passed.

· Lobby Week in May: SR motioned for ZFW Local to fund 6 Members to attend; VC seconded motion. The motion unanimously passed.

· Article 26, Section 3 – Facility interpretation: Leave requests for birthday or religious reasons will be given priority inside of 28 days (spot leave request). If there is another system for leave, e.g. Prime time leave or Lottery, it takes precedence over Birthday/Religious leave priority.

· Staffing & Temp. positions: People on temporary details (staff or supes) count against our facility controller staffing numbers (the facility/Region includes these people in our numbers which artificially inflates them). Goal: limit the amount of temps coming from the workforce, or make temp positions permanent, thus not including them in our staffing numbers. Also, when the COS positions are made, we’d like ¾ of them permanent, not 1/2 .

· Gift Cards: VC motioned to purchase 20 more giftcards to keep on hand during membership drive and/or for awards. JF seconded motion. Motion passed unanimously.

· Code 9: Tim is working out new Code 9 time off award system with Bob. The proposal is to look at number of OEs quarterly, and if they stay at or below six per quarter, Code 9 will be available for facility the next quarter. This item will be discussed and put on priority at the next G21 meeting. Hopefully, this will be negotiated and signed by month’s end. See attached OE/OD Reduction Program.

· NAR: The meeting this week was cancelled w/ZHU, however Lambert & Carruth will be there to discuss issues, but will make no agreements. Lambert will address group upon his return.
