With the representation question now resolved as announced by the National Mediation Board earlier today, it is time to resume negotiations. The wait and see excuse has now passed. Negotiations need to be successfully concluded for both the Mechanic and Related and the Maintenance Training Specialists. I have contacted both Mediator Walter Darr and U S Airways Vice President Labor Relations Al Hemenway insisting negotiations resume immediately.
You will be advised as future developments occur.
Fraternally yours,
Tom Higginbotham
President & Directing General Chair
