Default FDX LEC 22 Elections

The election process is now open for LEC 22. If you're in Blocks 2, 5 or 7 you should have received an email on how to vote and who's running. Everyone gets to a vote not only for your own block rep, but also for the other two block reps. Sorry if you already know this, but I know it's a question several people have asked me.

YES -- I'm one of the guys running for Block 2.

The key to a strong union is an informed and engaged membership.

Strong union + Financially sound FedEx = Great Contract

Stay informed, engaged and VOTE.

How do you feel about negotiating an LOA and a contract at the same time?

IMHO, you can't have one without the other.

Removed "due to error?" Or removed because you can't give endorsements here? What's the deal?

The MEC HAS given the go-ahead to do just that. If elected, I would do as you the membership feel is best after making sure you understood all the factors involved. Aaron Hagan sent out a great letter to Block 7. I'd like to quote a line from it..."keep in mind that Section 1 of our CBA allows the corporation to fly international freight in ways that might not be advantageous to our pilots."

I suggest that everyone read Aaron's Block 7 27OCT10 update on the ALPA website. He brings up some valid points with respect to the HKG LOA.

Look what makes you think they can't fill the FDA w/o any sort of new LOA and just use current contractual language? Captains in any seat will ALWAYS be filled immediately. Right seat - just hire off the street, easily filled. Then what do we gain?

Bingo! We have no leverage.
