The TWU Negotiating Committee met today to continue the arduous task of reviewing the company’s business plan proposals. This is the next step in the 1113 process.
After a short presentation by AMR, regarding Active/Retiree medical benefits, the Negotiating Committee began drafting specific questions for the company, based on their projected cost savings per the 1113 term sheets received last Wednesday.
A fully fledged costing out of AMRs business plan outlined in the term sheets is under way.
