· Contract vs. local orders

Do we need to look at the conflictions between our facility orders and the NATCA/FAA Contract reference comp time, one for one shift swaps, and turning in leave? Contract overrides our local orders.

Secretary/Training Rep.:

- Possible NUPS letter being issued to a trainee in CQY. These are no longer allowed; UO will inform the supervisor involved.

- CIC refresher training – should be same as Supes as per .71M. Will check with ZFW-17 to see if this is being done. If not, it will.

BYP:

· Oral presentation today for O.E. Employee hasn’t been able to have mtg. with ATM Stevens. O.E. was not a “performance issue”.

CQY:

· Nothing

TMU:

UIM:

· Article 8 denial; will be submitted as Article 9 grievance.

UKW:

· New DFW LOA proposal

DFW Appch. Squawking about planes not meeting restrictions during N. flow. A new LOA has been presented by them, which is no good (they want DAL jet arrivals sequenced with DFW arrivals). UKW would like DAL jets over greggs always. Meeting between UKW and DFW Approach is going to be held (SWA airlines should be brought in since it effects them greatly).

· Chow run issue

New policy? Supe said chow runs at OM’s discretion if Area wants more than one chow run.

15G Workgroup (RR):

- Group in 2-week hiatus due to leave.

- Mark Kennedy is the Lead, and has the most understanding . Henderson & Schneider also on management side.

- Team has been collaborative thus far. No idea what final agreement will look like, so no details can be discussed to protect the process.

- RR’s making management produce facts to back up their opinions.

- Stewart and Miguel doing great on the team.

- As long as the team knows in advance, quiet observers invited to watch the 15G negotiations. Next meeting Tuesday, 9/28.
