Join Midwest Pilots Rally to Protest Outsourcing of Jobs You’re invited to join the Midwest pilots at a rally in Milwaukee, Wisc., from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2008. Midwest pilots are protesting management’s outsourcing of their jobs in blatant disregard of their contract, and they are asking for your support. Pilots will meet at 10:00 a.m. at the Oak Creek Community Center, 8580 S. Howell Avenue, in Milwaukee (the telephone number there is 414-768-5840). Lunch will be served to the participants before going to the rally. Transportation will be provided to/from the rally. Wear your uniform with hat as well as your ALPA pin and lanyard, if you have them.
Midwest pilots will also conduct informational picketing that morning, and encourage other ALPA pilots to join them. Pilots will meet at Milwaukee General Mitchell Airport (MKE) Sijan Room no later than 5:00 a.m. for a pre-picket briefing, then picket from 5:30 a.m. until 7:30 a.m.
If you need more information about transportation between MKE and the Oak Creek Community Center, please contact Midwest’s SPC chairman, Capt. Jon Beard, at 414-704-2916. We’ll see you there!
Several republic pilots are planning on joining the rally in support of the Midex crews.
