Brothers and Sisters,

Today the TWU Negotiating Committee will be embarking upon its toughest challenge to date.  On Wednesday,  February 1^st,  2012 we viewed AA’s Business Plan and were given the Company’s 1113 “ask” proposal. Since then, the TWU’s financial experts have been analyzing their entire business plan and proposals. We must now take all the information that our experts have gathered and begin putting forth our counter proposals.

We take this situation very seriously, and will work tirelessly in our fight to protect EVERY Union Member’s job and benefits! We also need your help in this fight by staying informed with the latest information.

Check www.twulocal513.org  often, as well as www.aa.twu.org.  Attend the next Membership Meetings on February 22^nd and 23^rd.

Finally, please sign and share with all your family and friends, the Online Petition www.isupportamericanjobs.com.

Sincerely & Fraternally,

Darrin J. Pierce

President

TWU Local 513
